Welcome to a world where everything in school has to be okayed by every parent, else they risk losing their job if someone complains.

Conservative fucks are gonna try to make this the future of public schools, because the inefficiency is the point.

"See how inefficient the government is? Education needs to be run by private companies."

Think of it in terms of staff salaries versus the taxes used to pay them. If you can get people to consider that, they'll suddenly want to be the party of small government again.

It's interesting. My mother-in-law isn't what I'd call prudish, but she definitely restricted what her children could watch in terms of things like R-rated movies.

My father, on the other hand, was a film historian who, despite that, didn't really understand what movies were and were not appropriate for kids, which is why I saw Aliens in the theater when I was 9 years old.

We spent a long time butting heads over how far I wanted to go with my own daughter in terms of age appropriateness vs. how far she wanted to go. I eventually won that battle when my daughter turned 12 and my wife realized that there was no way to hide the world of R-rated things from a 12-year-old with YouTube anyway.

And that's why my daughter's favorite movie is now Forbidden Zone.

I still feel bad for the 1 kid in jr high whose parents refused to let him do the sex ed section. 13yos are assholes enough, they didn't really need something else to use to make fun of him for.

Yep. I loved going to the library while my classmates got to watch a movie

Tangled? Or being with prudes? Jk

yes. forever

Yup

"Your dream stinks. I was talking to her."

The reprise of "Mother Knows Best" always gives me chills

Not all of us here voted for these people, Florida's voters are at least 40% democrats gauging from the last election, that's hopefully grown since all of DeSantis's bullshit, I guess we'll see in November.

The requirement stems from knowing that if you aren't explicit and specific, regressives will try to ruin your life directly and via stochastic terrorism.

You are really overestimating how far ahead these things are planned out. It would be a horrible nightmare to coordinate all of it months and months in advance.

“Yes I checked the ‘movies rated from G to T’ box, but they played Strange World, and that has the gay disease in it!” /s

People are idiots, and it’s Florida. Florida has proven itself insane, so this is why they get.

Probably not. The whole point is to bog down the education system.

My kids school just has us sign a media permission slip once a year. Works great.

Educational purposes are fair use.

Constitutionally, the purpose of copyright laws is to promote the progress of science and the useful arts. Fair Use isn't really an "exemption". Fair Use is the fundamental reason why copyright is allowed to exist. The restrictions allowed by copyright law are the limited commercial exemptions from "public domain", temporarily granted to authors and artists.

All published information is in the public domain unless a specific, copyright exemption temporarily applies to withhold it.

This isn't actually public exhibition because members of the public in general cannot attend. This is an educational purposes deal and is perfectly fine.
