@neutral I'm the main person expressing specific reasons for support, and I am fully game to hear you explain how I'm being dishonest. @Bigbrog is correct that you should be more specific when you accuse the crowd of dishonesty.

Please tell me more precisely what dishonest reasoning I'm using to support book bans.

Tommy Tuberville - Alabama, get off your a**

Everyone wants equal rights and equal opportunity. Not everyone wants equal outcomes. Generally speaking of course. -

I will keep voting for candidates that care more about helping ITs citizen’s problems first, and like a good MIL, stays out of other’s business.

Are you aware that Russian civilians in Russia territory have died from the counter offensive? It is nowhere close to the count in Ukraine but it is occurring.

People say there are no stupid questions and then you go and ask my opinion on killing innocents. What was the point of your question if not to troll? I asked you a stupid question in return that toddlers can answer but a drunk man can’t.

MAGA is not a race issue. -

MAGA is none of those things. But as a person, I'm okay with optional topics in school. I am okay with discussing/displaying ethical guidelines from the Abrahamic religions (and others), thrilled that abortion law is back at the state level where it belongs, and happy to see affirmative action losing steam. I'm not okay with coercing everyone to worship, to pray, etc... -
Let us hope that no foreign entity gains the power to hold us American citizens responsible for our government's actions. Both Republicans and Democrats have held power during periods of foreign intervention and war crimes.

It is bad when Russia kills innocent Ukrainians, just like when Ukrainians kill innocent Russians. Can you show me where your nose is?

Isn't it ironic that @Ban Basketball has TDS and is losing his verdict due to BBS? Ban logically does not owe Bob Dole $1,000 and yet 35 forum members find him guilty of all charges. Emotional bias goes against Ban Basketball, much like it goes against Trump. Time is our friend for people to wake up. We need to behave more like Spock, rather than Romeo and Juliet, when casting one's vote between Trump and Biden. Well-informed voting is our best path forward. It isn't feeding the homeless and working for a non-profit... it's voting for leadership that will cancel lobbyists, who don't want war, who stop illegal immigration... and so on. -
What exactly did you agree with and why?

Middle school. No parental transparency. Parent drama on Facebook.

How many parents are complaining about the spelling of that book?

“There is a good place to stick my balls” was in the learning material at my kid’s school last year.

Would you be able to restate this in different words? I am having trouble following your meaning. I do a good job of weeding out the 'expert' from the 'apprentice.' And depending on the cost, I will consider multiple experts to decide. My new dentist recommended that I replace all my silver fillings. Why? Because they were old. I went to another dentist who could tell me which ones needed replacing due to failure and could explain why they failed. My wife visited a mechanic this month to have him inspect why her SUV is still bouncy after replacing shocks. I needed a fault diagnosis to get a refund on parts. The mechanic's diagnosis of the cause was that the front shocks (coil over) did not look like the rear shocks. When I brought the old shock out for comparison, he could not explain why the new shock did not work, just stated that it must be faulty. After returning from India with a parasite, the first doctor could not tell me what was wrong, wished me luck, and said I should get back with him after figuring it out. I went to two other doctors and finally found an Indian doctor who immediately diagnosed me with confidence. When contracts told me that my company needed to pay a large amount of money to a vendor, for a contract I inherited, something didn't seem logically right, I read the contract language myself - worked through ambiguous language, and saved the company money. As an engineer, I have to explain the reasoning behind my design to my critical peers, answer questions, show sources, and convey confidence because design acceptance impacts my team. So when an 'expert' cannot confidently express themselves and provide informed answers, I second guess them. Remember, more doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette!

Say more about your reasoning beyond an empty "No." Help me understand where protecting children would not be a self-evident choice. I can't think of any without going into dark cultural practices like child marriage, child labor, etc. I do not understand why I'd need to explain the morality of the golden rule to you, and how that applies to the opinion shared, for which protecting children is self-evident. Or maybe you think that children can handle any content without risk so long as there is a difficult conversation about it? Sources aplenty: Even in California, parents are upset that Flamer is in K-6 library. (link) Your last sentence is vapor. It is not 'all' and only a tiny percent of book material is triggering parents to consider its content appropriateness in school.

Probably not possible when Hamas is forcing citizens to stay put; those who support the PA authority over Hamas also hate the Jews, and citizens with less hate are at risk from their countrymen. The survey results indicate that Palestinians believe controlling Palestine is their God-given right. Most prefer to take control via peace but will fight for it forever. When they think about the occupation, most get so angry that they wish all Israelis would disappear. But not everyone shares those thoughts, and thoughts are not actions. 2020 Survey results of interest (article on what Palestinians want, 2020 survey results) ~60% of respondents want to regain all of historical Palestine for the Palestinians, from the river to the sea (and believe it will happen because "God is on their side.") ~70% of Gaza/West Bank respondents desire that the Palestinian Authority should “take over the administration” of Gaza The highest national goal is to support the resistance to end the occupation. ~70% would prefer to live in an equally nice home in Palestine over Israel The number one thing they want from the USA is to stay out of their affairs. ~50% say Hamas should stop calling for Israel's destruction and accept a two-state solution based on 1967 borders ~60% would prefer a peaceful rather than violent approach to gain their rights ~40% of Gaza/West Bank respondents prefer being part of Israel to being in “PA or Hamas-ruled lands.” ~30% say they can be friends with Israelis since we are all human beings after all.
