Would you look at, the Bible is missing from their evidence of sexually explicit books read to children. All the prof you need that this has nothing to do with child safety
Oh how I miss the old Cracked.
Ezekiel 23:20 ftw
They are suspiciously silent about violence and gore.
Apparently understanding procreation exists is more dangerous than a heaping helping of the ol' ultraviolence.
That's something us Europeans find weird all the time. Splatterfest 9000 Ultra Bloody Gore edition is fine, but God forbid there is a literal mm of female areola in screen for a fraction of a second!
I like the glib answer that the USA was founded by religious nut jobs so uptight and conservative that they got kicked out of Europe for being so annoying - the puritans.
What's amusing to me is that one of the stated reasons the religious nut jobs were persecuted was for their anti-war beliefs. Somehow that script got flipped.
Yeah... Nixon grew up as a Quaker, and Quakers were supposed to be super pacifistic. Just an example to your point.
Several times from several places.
Yes, sadly there's more money to be made from violence. Politicians can rake in political donations from fear, get lobbyist support (bribery) from arms manufacturers and watch your stock portfolio swell from voting for gun ownership and war. How do we stop this madness?
The Walking Dead TV series didn't show much of the sexual assault/rape from the comic series but all the zombie gore was fine.
Attention everyone: Your mom and your dad had the sex, thats how you even exist. Some of them had a lot of sex. Some even had sex with other people.
Censorship is required for effective brainwashing. Fuck autoritarians, not in the fun way.
IVF. I can honestly tell my children that their mother and I were just holding hands when she got pregnant.
Jesus Christ!
Twins, we have a backup savior.
Also a lot of them supposed "Christian" politicians regularly commit adultery.
Why are these people so obsessed about sex and moreover want to control sex for other people? They should seek therapy.
These people are wild. American first and freedom of speach, then something says something they don't like and its ban this, make this illegal.

Wait until they find out about fan fiction. Hope they get hard reading it to each other on the house floor.
How many senators popped viagra in anticipation of this hearing?
Wait until they find out about apples airdrop and androids nearby share. By which one kid can spread porn to an entire lunchroom.
But sure, let's worry about sex scenes in books.
Every student deserves access to books that reflect their experiences and help them better understand who they are.
I think it's important to learn about experiences you also don't share, so you can understand others better as well.
