Youre conflating the problem to a black and white issue. Playboy was never okay to be in the classroom inthe first place. The problem isnt that banned books didnt already exist (of course they always do, some of the most common books banned are historically classical books, Huck Finn. Color purple, 1984), its a matter of people using it to ban books with subjects they dont like, and you can tell because one instance a kids book was banned because the authors name is Gay.

The people banning books arent doing any due dilligence on the books their banning. They are just searching for words in the texts for themes they don’t like and putting them on a list of books to be removed.

I’m not insinuating that you are a conservative. I’m calling you out for espousing a very conservative position. Supporting conservative positions is a pretty conservative thing to do. You should not pretend to be so surprised that someone has called you a conservative.

And, like most conservative positions, the one you chose to support is harmful to vulnerable people, intentionally hateful and toxic as fuck. You chose to defend an evil position using deception. I didn’t do that. You did that.

I’m glad you would find being called conservative offensive. Being called a conservative should always be taken as an insult.
