Snoopy has no pants on?
and what is a “ produce bag**”** ?

(most every sentence in those books have a ‘ period ‘ at the end of sentences )


✌🏻

this extent. That's disheartening.

Adam and Eve? Biblical violence?

me produce a big eyeroll, but that's a lot of books.

Prosecuting pedophiles.

Does this not qualify as anti semitism?

What the hell are men afraid of? Those foolish religious right... $&@#*!
Just stop it!

Back in the day this was not uncommon. Ignorance is not bliss.

call them for what they are Weak and Damaged.

I had never heard of that book, nor the silly controversy.
I enjoyed the comment the author made, after the book was attacked by The White Citizens Council of Montgomery Alabama; "I was completely unaware that animals with white furs, such as white polar bears and white dogs and white rabbits, were considered blood relations of white human beings,"
(Same link)

I know because I read it many years ago in a school library that was part of a state institution for the developmentally disabled.

I think that the writer/illustrator just made one bunny black and the other white to evoke associations with a groom in a black tux and a bride in a white wedding gown.

All the other bunnies in the story are typical wild brown bunnies.

It really is one of the sweetest, most innocent stories that I've ever encountered. The two bunnies just play and hop around together and decide that they want to spend the rest of their lives playing and hopping around together. It's sort of the equivalent of two little children playing house and having a make believe wedding.

I feel genuinely sorry for anybody who got worked up about it.

Especially if you know Murfreesboro.

(Go ask those that live there about why they refuse to pay anything for the upkeep of Davidson county (Nashville), where they all work and spend most of their time, while moving to Williamson country and turning it into a wealth enclave that favors the rich and won't tax them appropriately. Go on... ask them.)

But, knowing what I know about that area, I would not be surprised if they did.

Did they ban the Bible?

Unclothed animals and underpants. These are the things they're concerned with. Imagine this was your life.

Leading the way in stupid for the past 25 years 🤦🏻‍♀️

Absurd.

“We made a request. We asked, we said please," (State Secretary Tre) Hargett said in a video posted to social media. "There’s been no order, there’s been no directive.”
(Same link as above)
No, no order -- just a good old-fashioned threat!

Around the bonfires with confederate flags and swastikas. When will the madness end?

Get rid of the evil books and go to church and play with rattlesnakes.

After I graduated, the student LQBTQ+ group (known first as GALA, for Gay and Lesbian Awareness, then B-GALA for Bisexual, Gay and Lesbian Awareness, and now Stonewall Tigers) was working to get sexual orientation added to the university's nondiscrimination statement, and Hargett was a very vocal opponent and fought against it.

At an anti-LGBTQ+ protest at the University in the early to mid-1990s, Hargett carried a sign saying: “Blacks can’t help being black, Women can’t help being women. Gays=/=Minority.” I don't know whether he realized that the sign made him look racist and sexist in addition to being an outspoken homophobe. He also passed out religious tracts saying gay people are going to hell at a panel discussion about religion and sexuality organized by the student LQBTQ+ group (GALA or possibly B-GALA then).

In the last 30+ years, he's learned nothing and hasn't changed.

Religion used wrong again. Nothing worse than these religious FANATICS!! That's a FACT!

I was a librarian for 20 years in a school district in SW PA. In those 20 years, I had two book challenges and my administration backed me in both cases. Tre Haggert is obviously a Nazi with mommy issues.

a whole different country.

Holy shit, they are dragging us so backwards that they'll overturn Brown V Board.
