So what are the chances that this guy has read the entire list of books... versus some conservative group sent him this list and he just nodded and passed it along?

Selected titles he doesn't want kids knowing about (shitty capitalization and punctuation is because I'm copying from the list they didn't bother to proof):

Teen sex : risks and consequences
Everything you need to know about going to the gynecologist
It's so amazing! : a book about eggs, sperm, birth, babies, and families
A baby doesn't make the man : alternative sources of power and manhood for young men
Cool and celibate? : sex or no sex
Asking about sex and growing up : a question-and-answer book for boys and girls
Safe sex 101 : an overview for teens

That's right, this GOP member doesn't want kids reading about the risks of teen sex, how babies are make, celibacy, or safe sex.

Poor white men and boys. So persecuted. So oppressed. Don’t want them to be uncomfortable.

The Bible does all of those things to me.  How do we get rid of it?

We should take that list, add hyperlinks to Amazon.com, and post it to TikTok and Insta with a new title:

DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! These are the 100+ BANNED books the Deep State doesn’t want you to read.

This school shit is real.  I was eating a sammich and watching a Josh Dickface Hawley question AG Garland for targeting well meaning polite conservative parents of children who just want to speak in respectful tones at school board meetings, and Josh called for AG Garland to resign. 

True scumbags, all of them.

he established some roots. he didn't sew them. but even if he did sew them, he didn't sew them, he'd sow them. but even if he did sow them, that's not what you do with roots. you do that with seeds.

i bet if we take sex books out of school, no one in schools will think about sex any more, and teens will stop having sex.

Ah yes the bastard offspring of “Americans think the world is round because NASA said so”

whew!!! i thought we were going to go a whole week w/out our Texas leaders embarrassing Texas. glad to know they are great at what they do!

it's like they want to go back to 1950s and 60s before forced integration.

i'm absolutely fucking amazed that a majority of Texans also get a hard on for that time period and want to return to it.

C'mon now, Bama, we white men are only asking for what we've been providing to your coloreds and your homos and your ladies forever in this liberal/socialist society. It can't just be all give, give, and give for the white man.

I mean, how much tolerance and equality to you expect?

The proper response is for school librarians statewide to propose addendums to the list including their entire holdings; any book worth reading will necessarily make people uncomfortable. I do appreciate the additions to my own personal reading list though. Thanks

If Mississippi wanted to, they could dredge enough to make either Gulfport or Biloxi a decent sized port.

Right, we have a vibrant economy (largely because of the oil and the ship channel) that allows us to attract businesses to make the economy even better, etc.  But culturally, we're as backwoods fucking stupid as anywhere in the Deep South.  If we weren't, we wouldn't be letting these religious right wingnuts talk about banning books in schools in the 21st fucking century.  This shit would be laughed out of any reasonable, educated, open-minded state or country on this planet.

I grew up in Texas and I love Texas, but it's becoming a bigger embarrassment by the day.

Texas Republicans "YAY WE SAVED OUR KIDS FROM LEARNING ABOUT SEX!

Texas school kids: Go right back to Googling porn and sexting each other on their iPads and iPhones that their parents don't monitor.

Cause and effect, my good man

It’s pointing to the fourth brick on the bottom and astutely pointing out that the top row would tumble without it.

Well, yeah, the tower needs that particular piece but this tower is reliant on a ton of pieces.  Eventually you get so removed from it it isn’t really the proximate cause anymore even though it is literally a but-for cause. NASA is because of oil? I guess on a long enough chain you get to oil.  But you also get to LBJ and a ton of other contributors a lot quicker and a lot more directly.  You don’t credit your dad pounding your mom for your little league team winning the game.  But if your dad hadn’t gone steel shank one night you wouldn’t have that been there to catch that pop up. “But for” causation may (and may not) be true with a lot of the pieces of our economy and oil/ship channel but Texas has as advanced and high tech of an economy as anywhere in the country now.
