Whatever logic (or lack of) is used to decide that if a small number of LGBTQ+ people being groomers/pedophiles means they all are should also be applied to Republicans. Lazzaro, Gaetz, Jordan, Hastert, Craig (holy sh!t there’s a lot) are “proof” that all Republicans are groomers/pedophiles.

Authorities charge 5 more in probe of child sexual abuse among Jehovah's Witnesses in Pennsylvania
A Pennsylvania grand jury investigating child sexual abuse in the Jehovah’s Witnesses community has charged five more people with raping or molesting children as young as 4, the latest developments in an ongoing probe that has identified 14 suspects.
Maybe MAGAt yahoos like desantis are looking in the wrong places for groomers and pedophiles.

Religious right gets blindsided by angry parents in a Southern California school district
The religious right saw an opening to jump into the parental rights movement amid intense backlash about pandemic-era school closures and mask mandates. But those policies have all but disappeared in schools, and it’s proving harder to sustain that level of outrage over teachings on race and gender. The effort to ban certain books and challenge curriculum has split Republicans and polled poorly with independent voters nationally.

An NPR/Ipsos poll conducted in May found that the majority of Americans oppose book bans and curriculum restrictions, with 64 percent saying that school boards should not restrict what students learn. Majorities of GOP respondents also opposed state legislative book bans and content restrictions, the survey found — a cautionary sign for candidates who risk losing centrist voters by leaning too hard into curriculum crackdowns.
Their dicks may be tiny but MAGAt yahoos still manage to trip over them.

Good. Books that are age inappropriate, esp to elementary and middle schools, shouldn’t be available in those schools.

Who decides what's appropriate and what isn't? The minivan Taliban and extremist politicians who want to groom children to be good little religious zealots?

Banned in the USA: State Laws Supercharge Book Suppression in Schools
Again, and again, the movement to ban books is driven by a vocal minority demanding censorship. At the same time, a 2022 poll found that over 70% of parents oppose book banning. Yet the bans continue. Many public school districts find themselves in a bind. They face threats and political pressure, along with parental fears and anxieties surrounding the books on their school shelves. School Boards, administrators, teachers, and librarians are told in some cases to “err on the side of caution” in the books they make available. Too often, they do just that.

These efforts to chill speech are part of the ongoing nationwide “Ed Scare” — a campaign to foment anxiety and anger with the goal of suppressing free expression in public education. As book bans escalate, coupled with the proliferation of legislative efforts to restrict teaching about topics such as race, gender, American history, and LGBTQ+ identities, the freedom to read, learn, and think continues to be undermined for students.
Let's pretend history didn't happen and some people don't exist because some snowflakes are uncomfortable that children aren't being groomed the way they want them to be groomed.

We shouldn't be grooming children according the ideology of either extreme. We should be teaching them how to think for themselves and to be respectful of others (including LGBTQ+ and LEOs).
