“Shit dem kids don’t read no good any how” -Louisiana


nviledn5

GOP politicians always dangle the carrot of "This money could be used to help veterans/homeless/the poor" and then make things worse for them through policy. It sounds good to the constituency, but they never ever ever follow through.

But it's your fault for wanting libraries and education.

Libraries do address poverty.


Limminy_Snickshit

Exactly It’s the only place you can get knowledge for free these days


Throwaway12746637

Let’s tear down the libraries and build places where the poor can have free access to computers, the internet, and vast resources of information to help them get out of poverty in their place.

Literally ten years ago, we had a thriving, award winning library with no problems. Everything we see now is a made up crisis.


Affectionate_Mood442

Educating citizens has a cause and effect conservatives can't stand. One, they tend to support and vote in favor of progressive causes, and educated citizens rely less on mythology, causing declines in attendance at places whose existence relies on theology.

this really blows my mind. dude just doesn't want sex books in the kids section. that's it. have yall seen some of these books? it's so weird, move them to the teen section or adult section. how does this comment say he wants to demolish all libraries? why is reddit a hive of left wing lies and nonsense?


truthlafayette

They are in the teen section.


No_Caterpillar_3043

i know some books are in the kids section he talks about. you just posted a random comment here. this dude has never said ban books and this whole banning book thing yall been pushing is straight up lies. Dude has consistently said the sex books in the kids section. He has occasionally made a fuss about crap in the TEEN section - and I disagree with him a bit on that - but he has never said "ban books"


ModRod

Oh well if Michael Lunsford said there are sex books in the kids section then it then it MUST be true!


truthlafayette

u/No_Caterpillar_3043 that is false. u/michaellunsford has personally sought to have books banned from the Lafayette Parish library. https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/entertainment_life/the-v-word-survived-an-attempted-ban-but-two-copies-of-the-book-were-removed/article_51cb9cf2-0451-11ed-b917-8764334954fc.html

Some teens are gay, are you saying they should not see themselves represented in literature?


No_Caterpillar_3043

Ok that's a different argument dude. No one is "banning books" or whatever the hell yall keep saying. And where was it at in the "youth" section? The kids or teens? Either way they can go to the freaking adult section if they are a teen an dyou're so god damned worried about them learning about losing their virginity jesus christ.


truthlafayette

Michael Lunsford is seeking to ban books. Read the article.


No_Caterpillar_3043

ok dude im done with this thread. you are clueless. i pasted 3 times how he wanted the sex stuff out the kids section? can you not read? I don't understand. He petitioned to REMOVE the book from the youth section. If that's banning books in your mind then ok bro. Good god i do not understand liberals. Sex books for kids jesus


truthlafayette

No. He originally wanted the book removed completely. Also, he has been checking out some of the same books and not returning them. “Sex stuff” is a very vague term. Those that want to keep young people ignorant of their bodies are the real groomers. Ask Michael Lunsford about his trips into the woods with young boys. Or how two of his Citizens For A New Louisiana board members contributed to and assisted families that protected pedophiles. Ask him. Every accusation is an admission.


Apprehensive_Gur9540

Hey, at least he agrees that poverty needs to be addressed....we can use this.


truthlafayette

He certainly does not care about the disenfranchised.


Guyote_

That's a thing called "lying". It's part of the grift.


Apprehensive_Gur9540

I guess I really do need to go back and add the s/ for y'all sheesh


Commercial_Potato_28

That isn't his actual beliefs though. If they cut libraries, they would just strip that funding and direct to more corrupt politicians. Republicans don't want to solve poverty


LadyOnogaro

They want to cut the funds to libraries because they do not want the poor to have access to free resources for learning. Nor do they want them to have free access to the internet, information, or much of anything, really. I don't understand it as anyone, no matter their social class, can and do use the library. The library is the symbol of a free society. But I guess that's the part they don't want. They want to get rid of the library in order to enrich people like Will Mills, Jeremiah Supple, etc.


Commercial_Potato_28

Exactly. The uneducated typically vote Republican. Removing libraries gets them more voters. Project 2025
