FB had a permanent ban on children's book publisher Heroes of Liberty . Heroes of Liberty publishes children's books ; biographies of such figures as Ronald Reagan, Amy Coney Barrett, and economist Thomas Sowell .

When called out on it, FB claimed the ban was in error.
Facebook reinstates conservative Heroes of Liberty account (nypost.com)

Some rabid lefty in FB employ pulled the trigger in their zeal to censor conservatives . In this case Heroes of Liberty had already paid FB for advertising and that is the real reason they were reinstated . Someone at FB reviewed an appeal by the publisher and still slapped it with a permanent ban. So it was not an 'error' .It was a deliberate act of censorship.

Apparently, an illustrated biography celebrating the achievements of President Reagan is no longer permissible according to our Big Tech cultural overlords,” Mandel wrote. “They have informed us that our content is ‘disruptive’ and locked our ad account, our data banks, our digital assets.
“They sunk our investment just like that, with a curt e-mail message. We appealed and were informed that the decision is final and permanent,” she added.

Big tech not only censors content of their sites ;they conspire to shut down competing conservative platforms and now their censorship is in books their ideologues oppose. Their actions are and should be covered by anti-trust provisions that already exist in the law ;or new laws addressing their monopolistic behavior have to be passed ;and special protections written into the law for them eliminated

The key part of your article was reinstated. You wingers should take a lesson for common sense while you double down on conflation and look for matches to burn library books. Amazing how easily you engage in stuff you accuse others of doing.

Conservatives want to eliminate library books about LGBT+ issues.

tomder55 · Jan 7, 2022, 11:40 AM

I don't want those books "eliminated " . I just don't want them part of school curriculum.

Conservatives want to eliminate library books about LGBT+ issues.

There is not a shred of evidence for that. We've already discussed it here. It was ONE repub in Texas who simply requested information. There has been no talk about burning books. The great objection was to PORN that was made available to middle schoolers including a book that described and pictured men and boys engaged in sex.

I don't really know what it means to "double down on conflation" as regards to anything repubs are trying to do.

So it's just fine with conservatives that fiction and non-fiction books about LGBT+ issues are available to any age in public and school libraries?

tomder55 · Jan 7, 2022, 02:44 PM

Internet providers, in their argument for 230 clause protection, stated that they didn't have the technology to monitor and edit the content on their sites, as such they should not be held responsible.That is clearly no longer the case.

The allegation was that cons wanted to burn books. You then said that cons wanted to eliminate them. Neither one of you has so much as a speck of evidence for either claim. Cons have been very clear that the objection was to porn books that glorified sex between men and boys, an activity that is illegal to begin with. You have actually never said whether or not you oppose young children reading porn. Perhaps you can clear that up now.

I'm OK with books about the LBGT deal as long as both sides of the argument are represented. You OK with that?

What about sex between two men? two women?

What are "both sides of the argument"?

jlisenbe · Jan 7, 2022, 04:42 PM

What about sex between two men? two women?

Not sure what your point is. If it's a description, then children shouldn't read it. If it's simply mentioned, then fine. But even at that, the parents should have a big say in it.

You have yet to say if books describing adult men taking advantage of boys in an illegal manner should be in a middle school library. Care to comment?

What are "both sides of the argument"?

The fact that many religions regard homosexual behavior to be immoral should be mentioned. The fact that there is no genetic connection to homosexuality should be mentioned. The fact that men and women are clearly made to be sexual partners with members of the opposite sex should be mentioned. The fact that many children, teens, and young adults consider themselves to be homosexuals but then change and live their lives as heterosexuals should be mentioned.

What do you think so far?

As a negative, yes. The parents, who have been previously alerted, or even have the books available on a "parent shelf", can then discuss that sort of situation with their children.

Yep! And other misunderstandings should be discussed also. And be sure to research and discuss the science. And what happened to binary in Genesis 3.

I can make a clear distinction between a school library and a public one.

Yes, and a school library will have a special collection for parents, not for students.

jlisenbe · Jan 7, 2022, 07:35 PM

You mean like this?

"The fact that there is no genetic connection to homosexuality should be mentioned. The fact that men and women are clearly made to be sexual partners with members of the opposite sex should be mentioned. The fact that many children, teens, and young adults consider themselves to be homosexuals but then change and live their lives as heterosexuals should be mentioned."

Now perhaps you can respond to them with some specifics?

And what happened to binary in Genesis 3.

Nothing. Still there like it always was. Your idle (idol?) speculation means nothing.

Nope, not genetics. Hormones.

I've posted this before. God created humankind as binary. Adam and Eve, enjoying their God-given free will, pushed the universe toward unlimited possibilities.

jlisenbe · Jan 7, 2022, 08:02 PM

Would you like to take a guess as to what determines which hormones are produced? If you answer "genetics", then you get to move to the front of the line.

Except that the Bible does not say that. So again, it is idle/idol speculation by you.

Nope. You're wrong. Genetics have nothing to do q with hormones that are injected into or given to the pregnant woman. Genetics has nothing to do with LGBT+ issues. Now, if you want to talk about Asperger's syndrome and genetics, let's grab some coffee and go into the staff room.

Except that the Bible does not say that. So again, it is idle/idol speculation by you.

Oh, yes, it and so much more came from that activity.

jlisenbe · Jan 7, 2022, 08:40 PM

Nope. You're wrong. Genetics have nothing to fo with hormones that are injected into or given to the pregnant woman.

So you are really trying to say that homosexual men came from mothers who had hormones injected into them? Really? You do realize how easy it is to dismiss such a silly idea?

Genetics has nothing to do with LGBT+ issues.

Which is exactly what I said. Thanks for the support.

Oh, yes, it and so much more came from that activity.

The Bible does not say that. If it did, you would have quoted it. You didn't, and that speaks volumes.

No, it's often the transgender beginning.

So when did all the turmoil of life begin?
