Texas "effectively" banned non abusive porn. You think that those abuse and rape porn sites care about yet another law broken? And that it effectively keeps people in Texas from seeing any of it?
The only thing banning porn does is benefit abusers.
I'm in Utah and I need a VPN to access porn sites. Even if the nation implements id verification requirements for viewing it, I'll just set my VPN to Canada or something. It's stupid
The porn was mentioned just because its in the letter.
There are of course much worse things on the internet freely available, sometimes even advertised and pushed on you. And the internet is not the worst thing here. Alcohol and gambling advertisements on TV are IMHO the worst. But I have advertising as a whole so I might be biased.
In light of recent events involving Norman High School English Teacher Summer Boismier, I am asking the Oklahoma State Board of Education to revoke her teaching certificate immediately.
Upon review of the situation, the teacher resigned rather than face removal. There is no place for a teacher with a liberal political agenda in the classroom. Ms. Boismier's providing access to banned and pornographic material to students is unacceptable and we must ensure she doesn't go to another district and do the same thing. This action must be dealt with swiftly and with respect to all our kids and parents.
Teachers are one of our state's greatest assets and it is unfortunate that one of them has caused such harm and shame for the entire profession. This type of behavior will not be tolerated in Oklahoma and I speak for parents across the state who are demanding swift and immediate action.
Kids first,

I want to punch this guy in the face so much. Kids first…
Ms. Boismier's providing access to banned and pornographic material to students is unacceptable and we must ensure she doesn't go to another district and do the same thing.
Meanwhile cops get caught doing actual bad shit and just resign and go to the next county.
Meanwhile priests get caught molesting children and don't have to resign because the church silently moves them to another parish hoping nobody else finds out.
Waiting for the reactionary who blinks straight passed the OK Sec of Ed trying to financially ruin a teacher for handing out digital library cards and accuses liberals of advocating violence.
I run for the position but how do I get the support down here? Or hell this teacher should run I do anything to help get someone elected that cares about kids.
Dude as someone from Oklahoma I 100% agree he needs to be removed from our state. Me and wife voted his against him but apparently to many hear agree with him or don't fucking vote in midterms.
An Oklahoma teacher left her job after the state's Secretary of Education accused her of giving students "banned and pornographic material." The accusation came after Summer Boismier posted a QR code for the Brooklyn Public Library's "Books UnBanned" program. It allows anyone 13 to 21 years old to access the library's entire digital collection for free.
In April 2022, Brooklyn Public Library joined those fighting for the rights of teens nationwide to read what they like, discover themselves, and form their own opinions. Inspired by the American Library Association's Freedom to Read Statement, Books Unbanned is a response to an increasingly coordinated and effective effort to remove books from library shelves.

As a porn watcher I think it's ironic that most pornstars (and all hotwives I've seen) are from the South and toute a gun loving, right wing Texas personality. Meanwhile this secretary tries to protect kids from the leftist books.
I'm sure that he believes that he is doing the right thing. Doesn't even realize just how wrong that he is. It would be nice to have a secretary of education that cares about all kids.
How is providing children resources to learn bad? What the fuck is wrong with that person? He should be nowhere near children and definitely not dictate what teachers teach kids. Whoever hired him has failed the kids and the state greatly.
I rarely look at the text of legislative bills, but how does some of this language wind up in binding laws?
"Harmful to minors" includes in its meaning the quality of any material or of any performance or of any description or representation, in whatever form, of nudity, sexual conduct, sexual excitement, or sado-masochistic abuse, when it:
(a) Appeals to the prurient interest of minors as judged by the average person, applying contemporary community standards;
Who the fuck is the "average person"? What the fuck are "contemporary community standards"? Realistically, I know it's on purpose to give the courts leeway to apply the law loosely, but it's still outrageous.
"average person" and "contemporary community standards" are in tons of court decisions. It's not a simple definition, but any lawyer or judge in the US will be familiar with it.
The legalese phrases don't bother me, it's the declaration that anything that might arouse a teenager is harmful to them. That's a fight against basic puberty biology they are going to lose, but hurt a lot of people in the battle.
I live in NJ and still had to deal with conservative teachers. They're just more subtle about it then this. The liberal ones would dance around supporting Climate Change, but the conservatives ones would talk about how great things like US Military "Intervention" was or complain about welfare queens.
This my attempt to walk the line between advocating for violence, and expressing my belief that the world would be a better place without these fucks in it. I don't want someone to go out and kill them, I'd rather nature expedites their life cycle. But if some loony toons 2a nut job comes unhinged, I won't shed tears.
Desisitization, we do a lot of dumb shit here. Fun fact, you don't need a concealed carry license here. If you can legally own a firearm(meaning you are not a convicted felon) then you can legally concealed carry with no training, registration, or any additional background check or anything.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: if your e a teacher, youbcant give kids knowledge. You're supposed to keep them dumb and within Republican party lines. And make sure they don't do the sex.
All I see is a pdo groomer, grooming children in a public education institution, one that is paid by tax payers. In a state that outlawed such material.
Boismier’s long journey to Brooklyn started when Oklahoma passed HB 1775, known as the anti-Critical Race Theory law. The law punishes school districts for teaching lessons designed to make students feel uncomfortable or guilty because of their race or gender.
Boismier was told to weed her classroom library — a library full of books she’d spent her own money to buy over the years. Instead, she draped red paper over them with the words, “Books the state doesn’t want you to read.” She gave students a QR code to the Brooklyn Public Library’s Books Unbanned project, which gives students anywhere in the country access to its books.
Her teaching license should be revoked, at the very least in the state of Oklahoma.
You believe the Brooklyn Public Library's UnBanned Books project is about grooming children for pedophiles? And not just unrestricted access to books in the same way that kids have unrestricted access to the internet?
The point is quite simple, an adult, a so-called educator, is directly providing children access to pornographic material. She's a slithering pos trying to push her agenda even when she was told to re-evaluate the selection of books she bought, brought into the classroom and gave access to children to.. by covering up the books with paper. THEN proceeds to provide a QR code to books that are banned for specific reasons, books that apparently are for an audience as young as 13 years old.
Given the right wing's well established tendency to project their own sins onto the left, your spurious accusation here would seem to say more about you than it does about the teacher
... I was almost a victim as a child. It was terrifying. And knowing that feeling of soon to being a victim is fked up for a child. More than likely the reason why I don't trust a single human being, because their 2nd person, the person that the public doesn't see, could be a fkin degenerate of the worst kind. So anyone trying to sexualize a child, putting them into parades with naked adults, providing children with pornographic material to pique their interest and try things out.. all of that, imo, deserves only one form of punishment, not even worthy of a grave site.
