Madison County Public Library administrators were asked to go over a list of potentially “sexually explicit” books to be moved from the children’s and young adult section to the adult section. The majority of these books were about the LGBTQ community. At least one was added to the list because the author’s last name is Gay.

    And as always, the library has a copy of Mein Kampf that no rightwinger has a problem with.

        Hey, the Bible is totally child friendly. Like that passage where Lot’s daughters get him drunk and have sex with him in order to have his babies.

        Or the one that describes how a guy’s brother died without having an heir. So the guy got to have sex with his sister-in-law in order to give her a son. Except he pulled out at the last second and “let his seed spill on the ground” and was killed for breaking his word.

        Or maybe the passage where Dinah was raped and her rapist wanted to marry her. Dinah’s brothers agreed, but only if all the men in that village got circumcised. Then, when all the men were “indisposed,” the brothers ran in, killed all the men, and took the women and children captive.

        See? So totally child friendly!

          “Let the heathens spill theirs on the dusty ground. God shall strike them down for each sperm that can’t be found.”

      Mein Kampf has very interesting parts about reproductivity of animals. Statements such as

      “the stork goes to the female stork, field mouse to field mouse, house mouse to house mouse, wolf to wolf, etc…”

      are truly remarkable in his incomprehensibly big brain revelations about biology. Then he moves on to explain how the same would apply to humans, completely brushing over the fact that storks and mouse are different kinds and he is too stupid to differentiate between race and kind.
