Remember, nobody is claiming that there's an epidemic of teachers showing XXX websites. Legislators aren't testifying about librarians allowing Hustler on the shelves.
At hearings and in press conferences, lawmakers are explict: this is about books. This is about YA novels. This is about LGBTQ+.

So, in order to keep kids from accessing what religious censors call "pornography" (LGBTQ+ content, sex ed), they've effectively made it so kids can't read at all.

This matters because if what you are trying to warn people about is a religious juggernaut that will crush them- that's not what we learn from the witch panics. We learn that it's your gross neighbours who will sell you out because they owe you money or you make them feel bad.

A) witches mostly were hung.
B) how.... Do you think "The Church" is solely responsible for this? Have you *met* Protestants?
Far be it from me to defend the early modern Church, but JFC.

This interview with Nikki Giovanni from earlier this year should be required reading. oxfordamerican.org/web-only/nik...
![I think the transgender kids are the bravest kids right now that we see; they're as brave as my generation was in breaking down segregation. They're breaking down-I don't have the word for it right now-but it's gender prejudice, and [the idea that] somebody has decided that they can tell you who you are, what your name should be, and how you should look.
And those youngsters are saying, "No, I can decide who I am, what my name should be." Everybody's mad at me like, You should be a girl because we've decided you're a girl. And they say, "Well, who the hell are you?" I can decide that I'm a boy. And if it makes me happy, what does it mean to you? And I can decide that my name is John. And if you don't like that my name is Geraldine, why can't you name yourself? And if the people who know you and love you-or have to talk to you, maybe they don't even love you but they have to talk to you -you can tell them, “This is my name, and I would like to be referred to in that way."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bb6m3nt3ohlter5c35zjlt6z/bafkreibs7rspksh3k7ekvnnmxzeenwwuvr4ab6fs4usuckmu2zpdzq3hcq@jpeg)

La société de transport n’était pas en accord au départ avec l’idée de participer contre le harcèlement de rue. « Nous, on s’occupe de transport. » Cette année, collaboration entre la STM, la Ville et des groupes communautaires.
