If hustler releases a text only version of their magazines, that should be allowed.
There is no reason to restrict information.
There is a reason to restrict nude pinups, as there is not an educational purpose to them, they are entertainment.
There is no reason to restrict non-sexual depictions of nudity.
There is no reason to restrict sexual depictions of nudity, if the depiction supports a narrative of conflict resolution, safety, or another educational purpose.
I said
The article says
Libraries also serve highschools.
This article is completely age appropriate for a teenager even if it's above your reading level.
This text is pornography? It's candid, and it's opinionated in that it's pointedly describing how women's rights are being eroded.
This text is fine.
The images around the text are absolutely pornography, if you can't make the distinction between words and pictures you do need help.
Like I said earlier...
How are you not following, you bring up hustler, I say the text in the magazine could be fine, and then provide a link to an example of text in hustler magazine that is fine.... Do you click on every link without looking at the URL?
What's your point? The current laws allow for hustler magazine to be curated in a library? It doesn't.
What books have graphic depictions? Do these books “lack serious literary, artistic, political, educational, or scientific value.”?
Is your point that even if a book has serious literary or educational value, it should still be banned? Wanting to ban things of educational or literary value is censorship. It's a free speech issue because these books are forms of expression. Banning things with value deprives other people of that value.
What books? Give an example, if they really have no value it should be unanimous.
No example of a "pornographic" book? Not even the gay penguin one or the other book authored by Mrs Gay?
Spineless shit, prove you aren't a bigot.
Right, your hallucination of pornography in libraries isn't actually happening, and this law is designed to harass educators.
Get bent.
