Pornography in schools. Is this "grooming" our children as some angry parents believe?

The use of such rhetoric, opponents of the new laws argue, underscores a nationwide push by conservatives to make education a political wedge issue by equating certain teaching materials and educators with Mediaography and even pedophilia. This latest trend is another volley in the country’s ongoing culture wars, during which conservative lawmakers also have opposed the teaching of “critical race theory” and proposed bills requiring schools to post all course materials online so parents can review them.

I think this is just another example of conservative Americans getting agitated by right wing rhetoric and propaganda. 

Here's a video compilation and represention of how emotional and aggressive these agitated people are. 

Here is a list of books under fire from conservatives. Does anyone know of any other compilation of those titles?

I'll scold you if I see any comments during vacation.  Will you be doing any diving or snorkeling on the east coast? I'd be curious about the condition of the near shore marine environment. I haven't been there in years. 

Have an excellent time!

Thanks.  You might have noticed I was true to my word and checked out of politics for a while.

Most of my time was spent inland but went to the Pacific Coast for a couple of days.  Some people snorkeled and said there wasn't much to see.  

It was an amazing trip to an amazing beautiful country.  I was in the capital San Jose on Monday and it was bustling with people everywhere.  It was a national holiday to celebrate the abolition of the military in 1948.  It's been good to them because unlike their neighbors they've avoided military coups and have had the most stable democracy and economy in Central America.  They decided to focus their spending on universal healthcare and education instead of the military.  Imagine that?  Also people were out spending their Christmas bonuses that companies are required to pay employees.  They call it their "13th check", meaning they must get paid monthly 12 times.  I never got their local money as everywhere took American currency.

Pacific coast snorkeling is often not terribly scenic and surge can be exhausting... especially for novices. IMHO.

I was glad to see you stay out of the discussions... the travel and cultural immersion is generally healthier than online debate and discussion... it's nice to have your POV back in the threads.
