    I love that this piece of shit read something that said his local library was working to increase literary representation for black and gay people, and he was like: “NOPE! NOT IN MY STATE!!!”. He even had the unfettered temerity to say “I’m a pretty tolerant individual, but this has gone too far!”

    Christ, what an asshole.

      And his kids will grow up with cement braces on their brains, knowing nothing actual or helpful about black history or human sexuality, and teen underage pregnancy will rise quickly along with STDs, and people will scratch their heads and wonder why. “After all, we banned all books and literature about such things, how could this happen?!?”

          It’s horrifying true, because in their warped perception they believe these diseases wipe out the “vermin” around them, the people they dislike and are told by their religion to discriminate against. Facts don’t enter into their brains at all, including the fact that their own kids are more likely to be the ones coming down with all these diseases, which are spread through ignorance and lack of sexual education.
