According to the bill, parents may take legal action against their child’s school district and be awarded damages if they believe any of its policies infringe on their “fundamental right to make decisions regarding the upbringing and control of their children.”
I had to listen to anti-sjw pimples whine about free speech on the internet for years, only for this shit to happen? Is there any joke that God can tell that isn't at our expense?
You see, this is not limiting free speech. This is simply reasonable policy shutting down sjw propaganda. Now I have nothing against lgbt rights, but what they are trying to do is lgbt supremacy and its alright with what they do, as long as they dont do it in front of children. Didnt you know that childrens minds are still forming and they will be influenced . :debate-me-debate-me:
In reality, it's the left's responsibly to be pro free speech, because it's leftist speech that's actually threatened by the state. We have to retake that ground.
"Pro-Free Speech" was always a liberal wedge issue intended to silence critics and demonize foreigners.
The speech that gets defended is inevitably the most reactionary horseshit (re: ACLU defending the KKK). Media consolidation and private-sector censorship never seem to clock as free speech issues, outside of the right-wing "Why won't the grandkids like my Facebook posts?" hysteria. The assailants on free speech are always Woke Leftists at home and Evil Communists abroad.
Leftists are better off simply embracing the ideas of media piracy and guerrilla production/distribution as means of achieving "free speech". Trying to argue some legalist framing just traps you in an inherently bourgeoisie judicial system.
You don't need to a legalist, constitutionalist approach. That's a right wing framing. We can frame free speech as left wing and talk about exactly those issues.

This just isn't true at all. It was a foundation of the American left in the middle of the century.
You're completely and uncritically accepting the hypocritical "free speech advocacy" of right wing extremists. We don't need to do that. I mean, the post we're commenting on is a great example of why we need to take this ground back.
This just isn’t true at all. It was a foundation of the American left in the middle of the century.
Anti-war advocacy was a foundation of the American left in the middle of the century. But any free speech arguments were incidental byproduct of blacklisting/censorship leftists faced when opposing US propaganda.
To quote Gore Vidal: "For the average American freedom of speech is simply the freedom to repeat what everyone else is saying and no more."
"gop wont go against gay rights, they're too popular"
ok i mean they're against healthcare and abortion which are pretty popular too, but sure somehow they will make an exception for the homosexuals lol
oh not anybody here rly, but just in general some op-eds and libs have been like "More than 90% of Americans personally know somebody who is LGBTQ+, queer people are represented in politics, arts and publicly elsewhere, the supreme court legalized same-sex marriage, there's no way the gop is gonna take on their crusade again. It's a settled matter". And im just replying to that assertion, which, as this story proves, was always a comforting fiction.
More than 90% of Americans personally know somebody who is LGBTQ+
Like chuds won't throw family members under the bus if it means they can spite a bunch of people they don't know?
Libertarians and fiscal conservatives have been pushing that line for at least 20 years, lol. At least the ones that get publishes in liberal papers.
I'm sure Biden will get right to fixing this, he was the harm reduction candidate after all
New bit idea: Libs reinstating the draft with the stated reasoning of giving trans men gender euphoria
If you don't vote for me you ain't queer, Jack!
Damn could my dad drive a car
If you don't want your kids to learn about gay people you shouldn't have had kids :very-smart:
So who's in charge of disseminating underground sex ed pamphlets? Is that... is that a thing?
The states really are doing a Eastern Europe speedrun, arent they?
Everyone knows that the Eastern Europe of the 1960s was bad because it was Communist. Not because it was a mess of idiosyncratic self-important post-war military gumbas.
