Imagine yourself back in the 1950s when kids got their information on sexuality from their friends and pornographic movies. Everyone who didn’t conform to the racial, gender, and sexual ideas of white people were queer and shunned by society’s so call “normal” people.

            Today we have a group of people who feel they can keep their children and other parent’s children from reading about things they feel is unfit for their children. They never consider other parents may not object to the choices of the librarian or teacher. Apparently they can’t trust their child to follow their parent’s wishes. Book burning was one of Hitler’s favorite ways to divide Germany. What Governor Ron DeSantis is pushing those duped parents to do is just one step toward his authoritian views of how the United States would be under his administration.

            Since this isn’t the 1950s parents should realize their kids can get all the information they want from their own or their friend’s devices. Libraries and schools don’t have to worry about being the bad guy in this issue as long as the internet is available.

            So stupid is as stupid does when it comes to parents telling everyone what their child can see or read when the social media and thousands of websites will tell them whatever they want to know.

            Why are so many people eager to follow conmen who only want to get their vote so they can control their lives?

            This isn’t a new issue. While writing this an airing of the March 29, 1975 episode of “Benson” dealt with the same stupid people. The show ended with everyone agreeing it is up to the family to decide what is best for their own children and not others. DeSantis and other demigods should watch the episode!
