When I was growing up teachers wanted parents more involved. Now it's like many of them don't want parents involved at all. Any adult who tells a child, "Don't say anything to mom and dad about what we talked about, watched, read or did today" is not an adult that should be trusted around a child.
We weren't taught anything about real life in school. We ourselves were indoctrinated in school. They completely and purposely left out real world educations like writing checks, doing your taxes, economics, and the way the world really is because of they taught us those things people would have refused to do it. This is the same thing they're doing now. They didn't tell our parents what they were teaching us, they didn't make curriculums known to our parents. They're indoctrinating a whole new generation now. Just in a different way.

We have mandatory age appropriate rating systems for TV, movies, radio, and video games. Even newspapers and magazines cannot print certain things. How is it that libraries and schools cannot restrict materials as age appropriate or parent approved? Teaching young children about sex, gender, and sexuality, adult subject matters, should be restricted and only if parents approve.
@@JoshJones-xd5mw The reason everyone chips in to pay for public schools is that educating children, whether you have any yourself or not, is of great benefit to society. It is therefore the concern of the ENTIRE community to ensure that the children in public schools are educated well while at the same time ensuring that the rights of the parents are respected and the children are not exposed to adult concepts before it is age appropriate for them to learn about them. At no point is it appropriate to have pornographic materials, books containing sexually explicit materials or that offer sexual instruction, to minor children. At no point is it appropriate or good for the community for the schools, teachers or other staff to tell kids to keep secrets from their parents or not tell their parents what they are being taught. Such things will effect the community as a whole. I am beyond glad that my children are not in school now, that they graduated a couple of decades ago before this nonsense was so prevalent. That does not mean I should no longer have a say in how my tax dollars are spent or in what our schools are teaching the children within my community today. I am greatly concerned at what children are being taught such that they must keep it secret from their parents and why the left seems so intent on forcing it on our kids while trying to silence parents who have very valid concerns. If I am not allowed a voice, then I should have the option not to pay the taxes that fund this.
The only one who should be shamed and humiliated and thrown the book at are all of these people who won't give an equal say to the parents and their children's lives. We as taxpayers have a very limited say in our government as it is. And this is getting to the point where we have no say at all.

Respectively, No we don't. "Decency" is subjective. Imagine if a decency group decided that women needed to wear burkas. Or if depictions of Jesus on the cross was indecent.
@@TyeDPod I think you meant 'respectfully,' not 'respectively.' You could use your 'imagine' hypothetical on literally any law debated or in place now. That doesn't mean you don't institute laws because 'imagine if.' For example, we don't need speed limit laws because 'imagine if' the speed limit were made 10mph on every Interstate in the country. I'm not sure what 'decency group' you're referring to which might decide. Groups don't make laws. Congress, comprised of our Representatives and Senators, do.
The Laws already exist folks. Its a matter of following them and the methodology to change or oppose them if society deems required as a collective. The issue at hand is when those in position to make change or impose an ideology... was there any public input? Were Parents given sufficient information to make an informed decision? Was anyone consulted ? Was there a vote on the subject matter? Likely NO, and in a Democracy ALL have the right to speak for or against policy or practice.
Honestly, I have seen bad parenting through the years, but the day we decide that parents should not have a say in their children's education is the day we become nothing.
Nobody says parents shouldn't have a say in *their* child's education. The question is, should one parent have a say in everybody else's child's education? If one parent or a small group can veto a book because they think the holocaust is portrayed in too upsetting of a light for their child, why is Maus banned in some districts for the whole school?
@@JubJubtheWonderHippo My understanding is that it contains a surprisingly large amount of nudity and graphic language that would be unsuitable for grade schools.
My question to library administrators across this country is, How is it you allow these books in your libraries? And if you disagree with the parents that disagree with your choice of books, how is it possible that you shouldn’t be regarded as a groomer to our children?
It's time for the parents sack all staff at schools because the parents pay these teachers wages. Abolish these school boards and let the parents vet anyone that wants to work at a school. This is the only way for parents to take back what "their chrildren" are being taught.
Librarians and teachers are trained to serve children's and young adult's interests and recommend age appropriate reading material. You might not want your child to read Gender Queer, but another parent might not want them to read the bible. Should both books be made unavailable at the library then? And speaking of which: just because something is on the shelf does not mean it is put into children's hands. This is not an issue about public access and I would argue, this is not even about children at all. Every parent can control their child's individual library use by accompanying them to the library and approving their reading material. However, a single parent or even group of parents cannot and should not dictate what all children have access to in a school or public library.
@@angeliqueazul8670 "Every parent can control their child's individual library use by accompanying them to the library and approving their reading material." This statement will never be true. When you were young you were out of the house away from your parents thousands of times. The reality is that children aren't accompanied by their parents for large portions of their lives and every parent cannot control their child's individual library nor approve their reading material and that's why these books should not be so easy to view in public libraries. If an adult wants to purchase or read these books then ok. If the majority of parents/taxpayers don't want these books on show in public, that is not dictating, it is democracy.
@angeliqueazul8670 we need to go back to age appropriate and decency codes... elementary students should not have their childhood took from them.....we started getting classes in hygiene and Health but separate classes. Kids are not mentally mature about adult things in elementary and many really are not ready to "see" or "talk" without snickers....Classes should be modified ...even many high schoolers do not want mixed classes... I believe we need less in "your face" sexual scenes in films... I really would not want my youngest grandson or my Great grandkids and anyone pushing this on to them ..will be in court before they say noo
@@angeliqueazul8670 Both books. Bible and Gender Queer should be in a "restricted section" where parents can say, "I allow my child to read from this section or I do not" Books should be rated, like TV and movies are. Simple way to fix this. I never advocate banning books, but I do advocate responsibility. It seems no one in the school is taking responsibility and when the parents do, the teacher/school dist complains. When I taught, years ago, primary school was in one side of the library, and older children on the other side. NO reason for primary to be on the HS side...and yes. We had an "adult" restricted section.
Proverbs 22:6 KJV Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. It is the responsibility of parents not schools or library. Or the government or the unnatural nuts that are running out of government.
No, YOU have NO idea. STOP trying to indoctrinate your children in YOUR beliefs....regardless of what they are and regardless of whether YOU think they should be indoctrinated into Christianity or whatever your beliefs are.
We pay taxes. Why is it that the administration gives taxpayer monies to entities the citizenry doesn’t want to give to? Once the taxes are paid taxpayers have no say as to where these funds go? Does congress even hear their constituents?
The right cares about our children, our communities and the blue collar workers that make America so GREAT!!! The left wants a communist, socialist type system where the government controls EVERYTHING we do. I will not SHUT UP. I REFUSE to be quiet when American libraries are funded by MY TAX DOLLARS. I REFUSE to let my child be groomed by the far left. I'm not sorry and I will have a voice. We as MORAL AMERICANS HAVE TO STAND UP AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. OUR CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE OF AMERICA 🎉🎉🎉
They have instilled fear on the parents, that's why they don't speak up. I am glad there are some who are willing to fight for our kids. All my kids are grown, I can't imagine what these parents are going through in this time. The people as tax payers should be able to fire people who want this garbage being taught to the kids. Ever person sitting there advocating for this crap is probably paid by tax dollars
If we, the oligarchic, can us our “liberal” cooperate media to get the people to believe an idea that their “government is the problem” than Americans will accept more and more cooperate and religious control. The oligarchic class can privatize education, prisons, postal service and eventual the US park service all public lands. Education is the most important. A government, free of religious and cooperate influences, can never be perceived as solution.
An "ADULT book store"? Is there such a thing? I think we call that a "book store" because it is for people of all ages and children are usually accompanied by an adult who oversees their purchases/reading choices. You can do the same with your own child in a library btw if you are worried about their reading. However, dictating what all other children (or adults!) have access to is undemocratic and totalitarian.
@@angeliqueazul8670 Children aren't accompanied everywhere by their parents. These books should not be in a public library. It's not being undemocratic or totalitarian to say that. The books would still be available on Amazon or in a bookstore but should require age verification upon purchase, such as things like alcohol, because of the pornographic/adult content.
I guess the problem is what those convictions are .... Some people are convinced they know what is right for everyone else .. they can go shovel shittt for a living. Some people are convinced that people should be free to live as they wish within the law, and they can be very tolerant without violating any convictions. Personally, I like the latter approach.
The library curator is the person who has the last word on what books are in the library. Who you have as a library curator is a local government issue. And the citizens should be in charge of local government. That is how a democracy works.
We are not a democracy, we’re a constitutional republic, furthermore, there’s a balance to be maintained between the autonomy of a local government and the rights established by our constitution and federal laws. The unprecedented ascendancy of trans ideology , CRT agendas and expansion of their particular rights are impacting all of us negatively.
I agree with you about schools. Public libraries have limited resources. They cannot offer everything. If a book is not suitable for a school library, why would it be suitable for a public library? Those books are for sale and a patron can always purchase those books if they are not in the public library.
@@ericdailey8587 "If a book is not suitable for a school library, why would it be suitable for a public library?" - Well, because a school library's user group are students (children, young adults) and a public library's user group is the general public aka everybody. "Those books are for sale and a patron can always purchase those books if they are not in the public library." Whichever books you are referring to does not even matter here but the purpose of a public library is to give the general public access to resources. Most public libraries are free and therefore accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation. So, no, it is not okay to ban books from public libraries that individual people take offense with based on religious beliefs or a conservative worldview. What if librarians would tell you: if you don't like the library, you can always go to a bookshop instead. That would probably upset you, so maybe you should try seeing the other side of your argument.
Data protection. I don't want other people looking at my kids. But yeah I want the teachers to be recorded in every situation. The kids need to stay off camera as some parents are not normal either
When people become too open-minded their brain apparently falls out. The only explanation I can think of for some of this nonsense we are seeing today.
I think everyone is going about it the wrong way. It’s not a matter of limitations on our 1st A. Rights if instead of banning materials, we ban minors from partaking instead. Our local library had a children’s section and then the ‘regular’ section which was okay for everyone, but boring to the children; and THEN a 2nd Floor where children were not allowed for adult reading materials. ( I don’t know what was up there because I was a kid). A public school for children is not open to the public, and is not a public library. The SMUT doesn’t have to be censored from adults, CHILDREN should be banned from that filth!
How does the location of where you disseminate pornographic material for minors matter as to whethor or not you can be arrested? Dissemination of pornographic material to a minor is illegal in every state and at a Federal level also. If its a book, tape, dvd, podcast or public performance and it cant be given or shared with minors in the home it damned well isnt legal in schools either. Arrest every education Dept employee for the highest crime possible and seperately for every child exposed to the criminal materials. Id be opening up investigation into every teacher and board member involved. Schools, bookstores etc,none of them are named Biden so theyre not above the laws
Can you imagine if instead of our money being taken against our will and taxed for the government to invest in their own interests against the people, we were able to keep it and invest in the the companies/organizations/causes that we believe in? I think that's how it was supposed to be.
I think you need to accept that if you want to live as part of a community, you have to pay taxes. If you do not like how your taxes are used, you need to vote smarter. As a citizen, you vote to give someone else the power to make decisions such as where to allocate tax money. Do you really think everyone would hand over the same amount of money they currently spent in taxes to worthy causes - and not just worthy but frankly boring causes like road maintenance - if they had a choice? And would that even work? How would you know where money was needed and which organizations were corrupt? Who has got the time for all that research? If you want to make a difference, there are a lot of issues that could use your attention - such as climate change.
@@1955mercury The fact that you chose Ukraine as an example illustrates my point: If American citizens could allocate their own taxes, they would give their tax money to causes that are in the media or that will make them feel like they are fighting against oppression or really making a difference. Much like charity donations, where causes that are less glamorous (e.g. any kind of maintenance (roads, public buildings, power lines etc.)) will get little to no funding.
Right, or that if a child feels like an adult, he should be viewed as an adult. No problem for a 10-yr old to change gender or for a 12-yr old to have a sexual relationship with a 50-yr old. Their insanity has no limits.
Parents should testify against these types of books. Should NOT be allowed in any SCHOOL LIBRARY. It is very, very offensive and disgusting. Terrible. What example are we setting for the children. What is becoming of our schools. Principal and district superintendents should come forward.

NO. Parents should have a say in what THEIR children are being taught or exposed to. YOU DO NOT get to decide what MY children are being taught or exposed to.

My party abandoned me, for madness... But it's so much worse .The party of the working class still exists. Media is coopted by velvet fascists that want to reduce women to a notion in a male mind..... The working class party has been silenced by the 1% elite and their media propaganda machine. Since Reagan met with Roy Cohn amd Rupert Murdoch in the Oval office to discuss defanging the FCC and privatize all media, including "the news". To comtrol and silence who? the working class.....
Why don't you confront by reminding the panel that security guards wrestle men to the floor and drag them out of the meeting room. They don't allow books to be read to the school board for their vileness, but want the children to see it.
I believe there is a federal law that makes it a crime to provide pornography to minors. The material read into the record by Senator Kennedy in another video from this hearing, is pornography by anyone’s definition and making it available to minors in a school or public library is a violation of federal law. Start charging these criminals and watch this perversion of our children will stop.
It's wild that not allowing kids to read porn in schools is being called censorship. Isn't giving kids pornographic materials considered enticing a minor in many states? How is it legal then for the school system to do it?
This is why we homeschooled our 5 children because this started over 45 yrs ago. We have 2 going for PHds , 4 Masters, 4 Bachelor Degree's. Our 5th child chose to get married and have a family, homeschool and teach dance. I refused to let the Public School System raise our children.
The important thing here is that you raised them well, you educated them well, and you taught them life skills well. Schools can do that, too, but not if they are run by power-hungry fools who believe they are the only ones who can possibly know what is right for kids. The real problem is NOT schools per se, it's allowing these reactionary idiots to dictate what and how schools do the education.
love reference to THREE DOLLAR rule by Sen Graham . in my day. a THREE DOLLAR BILL referred to something other than mono relationship. thank you Sen Graham
I remember the day when literature like "Every boy is not Blue" would not be allowed in ANY school system in America. Why are elected and appointed officials not being jailed for this?
My question is who allowed donations to schools from those special interest groups. Then they feel entitled to infiltrate our schools with there sexual deviants and lies to our children, wanting to defile , corrupt and steal the the children’s innocence
Why can't we just put age appropriate check out on books , like with movies.? And enforce it with a computer system, red flag them. And must have parental consent and photo iD for each tagged book.
In the county I live in the county taxpayers pay for our libraries. We do not accept any federal money for our libraries. We the taxpayers own the libraries not the politicos. If (thankfully only parents of current students are allowed to sit on our school board) same for our library board. So we will never allow these perverted books in our libraries period. If the federal government we’re to ever try to force us to accept books that the citizens of our county do not want we will simply shut down the public libraries. Period. We will not abide by a politician’s or judges order to accept books that we do not want in OUR libraries. The federal government has no right to dictate and we do not need them to intervene in our local polices. We do not accept sexual deviants as normal people. We teach our kids that they are not normal people. We do teach them that these perverts and freaks have a right to choose how they live but they do not have a right to force their views on those that disagree with them. We would take any action necessary to keep that trash out of our schools and libraries. We are a very close knit county and we know right from wrong. There is no gray area.
I remember back in the 70's and 80's none of this was a problem. Didn't need any books for this type of deviant behavior. Everybody still did fine without them.

If I am not allowed a voice, then I should have the option not to pay the taxes that fund this.
@@Allazander well said👏.
Thank you for speaking out for those who are limited or have no voice in the school teaching and tyrants system , (our children). 🙏🙏🙏
The only one who should be shamed and humiliated and thrown the book at are all of these people who won't give an equal say to the parents and their children's lives. We as taxpayers have a very limited say in our government as it is. And this is getting to the point where we have no say at all.

This whole administration is just taxation without representation. It’s absolutely ridiculous.
Name one that wasn't. We put a guy on the moon for the equivalent cost to end world hunger just to say the soviets are bad.
We apparently need decency laws again.
Respectively, No we don't. "Decency" is subjective.
Imagine if a decency group decided that women needed to wear burkas.
Or if depictions of Jesus on the cross was indecent.
We had these laws before?
@@TyeDPod I think you meant 'respectfully,' not 'respectively.' You could use your 'imagine' hypothetical on literally any law debated or in place now. That doesn't mean you don't institute laws because 'imagine if.' For example, we don't need speed limit laws because 'imagine if' the speed limit were made 10mph on every Interstate in the country.
I'm not sure what 'decency group' you're referring to which might decide. Groups don't make laws. Congress, comprised of our Representatives and Senators, do.
The Laws already exist folks. Its a matter of following them and the methodology to change or oppose them if society deems required as a collective.
The issue at hand is when those in position to make change or impose an ideology... was there any public input? Were Parents given sufficient information to make an informed decision? Was anyone consulted ? Was there a vote on the subject matter?
Likely NO, and in a Democracy ALL have the right to speak for or against policy or practice.
@@need2know739 What we have here is policy and practice breaking the existing pornography laws. It's not even close.
Honestly, I have seen bad parenting through the years, but the day we decide that parents should not have a say in their children's education is the day we become nothing.
Nobody says parents shouldn't have a say in *their* child's education. The question is, should one parent have a say in everybody else's child's education? If one parent or a small group can veto a book because they think the holocaust is portrayed in too upsetting of a light for their child, why is Maus banned in some districts for the whole school?

My question to library administrators across this country is, How is it you allow these books in your libraries?
And if you disagree with the parents that disagree with your choice of books, how is it possible that you shouldn’t be regarded as a groomer to our children?
It's time for the parents sack all staff at schools because the parents pay these teachers wages. Abolish these school boards and let the parents vet anyone that wants to work at a school. This is the only way for parents to take back what "their chrildren" are being taught.
Librarians and teachers are trained to serve children's and young adult's interests and recommend age appropriate reading material. You might not want your child to read Gender Queer, but another parent might not want them to read the bible. Should both books be made unavailable at the library then? And speaking of which: just because something is on the shelf does not mean it is put into children's hands. This is not an issue about public access and I would argue, this is not even about children at all.
Every parent can control their child's individual library use by accompanying them to the library and approving their reading material. However, a single parent or even group of parents cannot and should not dictate what all children have access to in a school or public library.
@@angeliqueazul8670 "Every parent can control their child's individual library use by accompanying them to the library and approving their reading material." This statement will never be true. When you were young you were out of the house away from your parents thousands of times. The reality is that children aren't accompanied by their parents for large portions of their lives and every parent cannot control their child's individual library nor approve their reading material and that's why these books should not be so easy to view in public libraries. If an adult wants to purchase or read these books then ok. If the majority of parents/taxpayers don't want these books on show in public, that is not dictating, it is democracy.
@angeliqueazul8670 we need to go back to age appropriate and decency codes... elementary students should not have their childhood took from them.....we started getting classes in hygiene and Health but separate classes. Kids are not mentally mature about adult things in elementary and many really are not ready to "see" or "talk" without snickers....Classes should be modified ...even many high schoolers do not want mixed classes... I believe we need less in "your face" sexual scenes in films... I really would not want my youngest grandson or my Great grandkids and anyone pushing this on to them ..will be in court before they say noo
@@angeliqueazul8670 Both books. Bible and Gender Queer should be in a "restricted section" where parents can say, "I allow my child to read from this section or I do not" Books should be rated, like TV and movies are. Simple way to fix this. I never advocate banning books, but I do advocate responsibility. It seems no one in the school is taking responsibility and when the parents do, the teacher/school dist complains. When I taught, years ago, primary school was in one side of the library, and older children on the other side. NO reason for primary to be on the HS side...and yes. We had an "adult" restricted section.
Proverbs 22:6 KJV
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
It is the responsibility of parents not schools or library. Or the government or the unnatural nuts that are running out of government.
Amen brother
Amen❤
Ed, may I call you Ed? Ed, parents can't train kids on what is out there. You all have no idea 😂
No, YOU have NO idea. STOP trying to indoctrinate your children in YOUR beliefs....regardless of what they are and regardless of whether YOU think they should be indoctrinated into Christianity or whatever your beliefs are.
I believe in the Bible 100%. Not too many people follow God's word. This is why we are in the mess we are in.
Thanks, Forbes Breaking News.
We pay taxes. Why is it that the administration gives taxpayer monies to entities the citizenry doesn’t want to give to? Once the taxes are paid taxpayers have no say as to where these funds go? Does congress even hear their constituents?
I agree. It's an age old problem. Back when I was in school, in the early 60's and even with my parents and my grand parents. We spoke our minds.
Maybe we should just stop 🛑 paying our taxes 😅 problem solved
Speak up thankyou
the republicans has been asking and getting trillions of dollars, borrowed dollars for 20 years. where did it all go?
The right cares about our children, our communities and the blue collar workers that make America so GREAT!!!
The left wants a communist, socialist type system where the government controls EVERYTHING we do.
I will not SHUT UP. I REFUSE to be quiet when American libraries are funded by MY TAX DOLLARS. I REFUSE to let my child be groomed by the far left. I'm not sorry and I will have a voice. We as MORAL AMERICANS HAVE TO STAND UP AND PROTECT OUR CHILDREN. OUR CHILDREN ARE THE FUTURE OF AMERICA 🎉🎉🎉
They have instilled fear on the parents, that's why they don't speak up. I am glad there are some who are willing to fight for our kids. All my kids are grown, I can't imagine what these parents are going through in this time. The people as tax payers should be able to fire people who want this garbage being taught to the kids. Ever person sitting there advocating for this crap is probably paid by tax dollars
We need to look at every book our child has access to
Oooooooo, so sheepish!!
Or ZERO taxpayer's money.
... and you can? When you accompany them to the library. So, where is the problem?
If we, the oligarchic, can us our “liberal” cooperate media to get the people to believe an idea that their “government is the problem” than Americans will accept more and more cooperate and religious control.
The oligarchic class can privatize education, prisons, postal service and eventual the US park service all public lands. Education is the most important.
A government, free of religious and cooperate influences, can never be perceived as solution.
I would say the Internet is a bigger problem.
Way to go ! This crap our kids are subjected too is ridiculous! I’m Canadian and same crap too!
These books belong in an ADULT book store NOT IN SCHOOLS !!!!!
I don't even want to read those books.!.!.!.
An "ADULT book store"? Is there such a thing? I think we call that a "book store" because it is for people of all ages and children are usually accompanied by an adult who oversees their purchases/reading choices. You can do the same with your own child in a library btw if you are worried about their reading. However, dictating what all other children (or adults!) have access to is undemocratic and totalitarian.
@@angeliqueazul8670 Children aren't accompanied everywhere by their parents. These books should not be in a public library. It's not being undemocratic or totalitarian to say that. The books would still be available on Amazon or in a bookstore but should require age verification upon purchase, such as things like alcohol, because of the pornographic/adult content.
don't matter kids will still be kids and they are smarter than the parents they will be on Porn websites.

THANK YOU MR GRAHAM, THANK YOU FOR HOW YOU HELP US,THANK YOU 😊
"Tolerance is the virtue of a man without convictions...." G. K. Chesterson
I guess the problem is what those convictions are .... Some people are convinced they know what is right for everyone else .. they can go shovel shittt for a living. Some people are convinced that people should be free to live as they wish within the law, and they can be very tolerant without violating any convictions. Personally, I like the latter approach.
Fascist
As a retired librarian, I am appalled at what these people are doing. Yes, it IS very organized!
The library curator is the person who has the last word on what books are in the library. Who you have as a library curator is a local government issue. And the citizens should be in charge of local government. That is how a democracy works.
People keep saying this and that is how a democracy works. We are not actually a democracy we are a constitutional republic.
And parents and taxpayers can insist certain books be set aside under lock and key accessible only by adults.
Got it?
We are not a democracy, we’re a constitutional republic, furthermore, there’s a balance to be maintained between the autonomy of a local government and the rights established by our constitution and federal laws. The unprecedented ascendancy of trans ideology , CRT agendas and expansion of their particular rights are impacting all of us negatively.
Of the people, by the people and for the people......................
And Graham needs to go.
I complain big time! Public libraries should offer everything, school library’s should not!
Totally agree
Agreed
“Libraries”*, dropout
I agree with you about schools. Public libraries have limited resources. They cannot offer everything. If a book is not suitable for a school library, why would it be suitable for a public library? Those books are for sale and a patron can always purchase those books if they are not in the public library.
@@ericdailey8587 "If a book is not suitable for a school library, why would it be suitable for a public library?" - Well, because a school library's user group are students (children, young adults) and a public library's user group is the general public aka everybody. "Those books are for sale and a patron can always purchase those books if they are not in the public library." Whichever books you are referring to does not even matter here but the purpose of a public library is to give the general public access to resources. Most public libraries are free and therefore accessible to everyone, no matter their financial situation. So, no, it is not okay to ban books from public libraries that individual people take offense with based on religious beliefs or a conservative worldview. What if librarians would tell you: if you don't like the library, you can always go to a bookshop instead. That would probably upset you, so maybe you should try seeing the other side of your argument.
Rhank you lindsey graham these books are filth and they should be banned for ever
I'm beginning to think that video cameras should be put in EVERY classroom & parents have unlimted access to them.
And what if some pervert hacks into the cameras so they can stalk your kids ?
Yes, that is a great idea!
They are stealing our children's childhood.
This filth has got to stop.
Data protection. I don't want other people looking at my kids.
But yeah I want the teachers to be recorded in every situation.

THANK YOU MR GRAHAM WE HAVE
A RIGHT TO CHOOSE FOR OUR CHILDREN 🙏
I think everyone is going about it the wrong way.
It’s not a matter of limitations on our 1st A. Rights if instead of banning materials, we ban minors from partaking instead.
Our local library had a children’s section and then the ‘regular’ section which was okay for everyone, but boring to the children; and THEN a 2nd Floor where children were not allowed for adult reading materials. ( I don’t know what was up there because I was a kid).
A public school for children is not open to the public, and is not a public library.
The SMUT doesn’t have to be censored from adults, CHILDREN should be banned from that filth!
Why the he.. should we have to request a book removed. It should not have been there in the first place. Get rid of the criminals and pedophiles.
How does the location of where you disseminate pornographic material for minors matter as to whethor or not you can be arrested? Dissemination of pornographic material to a minor is illegal in every state and at a Federal level also. If its a book, tape, dvd, podcast or public performance and it cant be given or shared with minors in the home it damned well isnt legal in schools either. Arrest every education Dept employee for the highest crime possible and seperately for every child exposed to the criminal materials. Id be opening up investigation into every teacher and board member involved. Schools, bookstores etc,none of them are named Biden so theyre not above the laws
I like this idea. We can't stop the #BidenCrimeFamily but we can surely stop the individual teachers. Check your kid's back pack daily.
Books containing filth, should not be in public libraries especially at the expense of taxpayers.
Thank you Mr. Graham.
Only for a minute.
Miss Graham. Lady Graham.

Can you imagine if instead of our money being taken against our will and taxed for the government to invest in their own interests against the people, we were able to keep it and invest in the the companies/organizations/causes that we believe in? I think that's how it was supposed to be.
I think you need to accept that if you want to live as part of a community, you have to pay taxes. If you do not like how your taxes are used, you need to vote smarter. As a citizen, you vote to give someone else the power to make decisions such as where to allocate tax money. Do you really think everyone would hand over the same amount of money they currently spent in taxes to worthy causes - and not just worthy but frankly boring causes like road maintenance - if they had a choice? And would that even work? How would you know where money was needed and which organizations were corrupt? Who has got the time for all that research? If you want to make a difference, there are a lot of issues that could use your attention - such as climate change.
@@angeliqueazul8670 You don't think American citizens would be donating billions of dollars to the worthy cause of Ukraine?
@@1955mercury The fact that you chose Ukraine as an example illustrates my point: If American citizens could allocate their own taxes, they would give their tax money to causes that are in the media or that will make them feel like they are fighting against oppression or really making a difference. Much like charity donations, where causes that are less glamorous (e.g. any kind of maintenance (roads, public buildings, power lines etc.)) will get little to no funding.
soon they will say dating a 13 yr old is fine for adults..................I see where this chit is going

@@MichaelValouch-pb3ss do a little research on this subject and the un if ya want
Right, or that if a child feels like an adult, he should be viewed as an adult. No problem for a 10-yr old to change gender or for a 12-yr old to have a sexual relationship with a 50-yr old. Their insanity has no limits.
Thank you, Forbes, for this and other videos that show the heroes/heroines in our country who stand up for decency and our rights.
Total Educational reform!
Get these perverted books off every kids library. They should be in the adult Library.
We fought a war about taxation without representation
And it was just a 2% tax.
We certainly did!
Parents should testify against these types of books. Should NOT be allowed in any SCHOOL LIBRARY. It is very, very offensive and disgusting. Terrible. What example are we setting for the children. What is becoming of our schools. Principal and district superintendents should come forward.
Department of education needs to be disbanded.
The Federal Government needs to return Education /schools . WE NEED REDUCE A LOT OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AS THEY CONTINUE TO TAKE STATES RIGHTS AWAY...

I agree. Im a lifelong registered Democrat..My party has been compromised by anarchist gnostics, regressive misogynists wrapped in rainbow bunting. Like Maher and Musk, I didn't abandon my party. My party abandoned me, for madness... But it's so much worse
.The party of the working class still exists. Media is coopted by velvet fascists that want to reduce women to a notion in a male mind..... The working class party has been silenced by the 1% elite and their media propaganda machine.

Always has. He's our senator and it seems impossible to get rid of him.
Gooo Senator Graham! Thank you! ❤
I believe there is a federal law that makes it a crime to provide pornography to minors. The material read into the record by Senator Kennedy in another video from this hearing, is pornography by anyone’s definition and making it available to minors in a school or public library is a violation of federal law. Start charging these criminals and watch this perversion of our children will stop.
Perhaps the libraries need a room marked X-Rated and you have to be with an adult to get a book out of that room??
It's wild that not allowing kids to read porn in schools is being called censorship. Isn't giving kids pornographic materials considered enticing a minor in many states? How is it legal then for the school system to do it?
Right on‼️❤️🙏
Thank you for standing up for PARENTS AND THE USA.Its time to take our country back from these ROUGE POLITICIANS.

This is why we homeschooled our 5 children because this started over 45 yrs ago. We have 2 going for PHds , 4 Masters, 4 Bachelor Degree's. Our 5th child chose to get married and have a family, homeschool and teach dance. I refused to let the Public School System raise our children.
The important thing here is that you raised them well, you educated them well, and you taught them life skills well. Schools can do that, too, but not if they are run by power-hungry fools who believe they are the only ones who can possibly know what is right for kids. The real problem is NOT schools per se, it's allowing these reactionary idiots to dictate what and how schools do the education.
Thank you, Senator for backing parents who have their children's best interest and safety at heart
love reference to THREE DOLLAR rule by Sen Graham . in my day. a THREE DOLLAR BILL referred to something other than mono relationship. thank you Sen Graham
Starting with Drumph.
I wouldn’t trust the government in anything concerning kids!
U.S. Constitution, Amendment #1: "...and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Says so right on the label.
I remember the day when literature like "Every boy is not Blue" would not be allowed in ANY school system in America. Why are elected and appointed officials not being jailed for this?
Miss. Lindsay should be in prison.
My question is who allowed donations to schools from those special interest groups. Then they feel entitled to infiltrate our schools with there sexual deviants and lies to our children, wanting to defile , corrupt and steal the the children’s innocence
Amen!!!
Why can't we just put age appropriate check out on books , like with movies.? And enforce it with a computer system, red flag them. And must have parental consent and photo iD for each tagged book.
Yep. In this day and age, this should not be difficult.
GREAT idea!!!!
Amen brother🙏🙏
In the county I live in the county taxpayers pay for our libraries. We do not accept any federal money for our libraries. We the taxpayers own the libraries not the politicos. If (thankfully only parents of current students are allowed to sit on our school board) same for our library board. So we will never allow these perverted books in our libraries period. If the federal government we’re to ever try to force us to accept books that the citizens of our county do not want we will simply shut down the public libraries. Period. We will not abide by a politician’s or judges order to accept books that we do not want in OUR libraries. The federal government has no right to dictate and we do not need them to intervene in our local polices. We do not accept sexual deviants as normal people. We teach our kids that they are not normal people. We do teach them that these perverts and freaks have a right to choose how they live but they do not have a right to force their views on those that disagree with them. We would take any action necessary to keep that trash out of our schools and libraries. We are a very close knit county and we know right from wrong. There is no gray area.
Defund those libraries
Like you pay taxes anyway
I remember back in the 70's and 80's none of this was a problem. Didn't need any books for this type of deviant behavior. Everybody still did fine without them.
