Authored by Savannah Hulsey Pointer and Samantha Flom via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours), The Biden administration unveiled a series of measures on June 8 to address the rights of the LGBTQ community, including taking action on book bans by appointing a coordinator to work with schools. The as-yet-unnamed Education Department coordinator will work to inform school districts that prohibiting books could violate federal law, among other issues. “The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is announcing that to support its ongoing work to defend the rights of LGBTQI+ students and other underserved communities, it will appoint a new coordinator to address the growing threat that book bans pose for the civil rights of students,” the White House said in the announcement. “That coordinator will work to provide new trainings for schools nationwide on how book bans that target specific communities and create a hostile school environment may violate federal civil rights laws.” Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok Your daily reminder that when they accuse us of “banning books” they’re referring to pornographic books which are offered to kids in schools across the country. For some reason CBS didn’t provide examples with pictures… 🤔 CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday MORE: Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich, founders of Moms for Liberty, whose members campaign to sit on school boards, have been proactive in getting fiction books that discuss race and racism, slavery, sex and gender identity, banned from school shelves. https://twitter.com/i/status/1650131355013971969 The announcement is part of the administration’s efforts to observe Pride Month and address the concerns surrounding LGBTQ rights. The administration is also unveiling plans to support mental health resources for those in the LGBTQ community and combat violence against the same groups. The administration has expressed specific concern over book bans, particularly those targeting books that feature LGBTQ communities, communities of color, and other groups. “Book banning erodes our democracy, removes vital resources for student learning, and can contribute to the stigma and isolation that LGBTQI+ people and other communities face,” the White House said. Biden’s Comments on the Initiatives “As president, I was proud to end the band on transgender troops in our military, sign the Respect for Marriage Act, strengthen the civil rights protections for LGBT Americans, and advance LGBT human rights around the globe, but our fight is far far from over,” President Joe Biden said during a June 8 news conference. He outlined some of the details of his programs that his administration introduced and said they still had plenty of work ahead due to the “hysterical” and “prejudice” people around the country, saying he hoped to find a solution to “violence and hate crimes targeting LGBTQ people.” “It’s wrong that extreme officials are pushing hateful bills, targeting transgender children, terrifying families and criminalizing doctors,” Biden said. “These are our kids. These are our neighbors. LGBTQ Americans, especially children, you’re loved, you’re heard, and this administration has your back.” Book Ban Controversy The issue of book bans has concerned parents and school officials in recent months, with some more politically conservative states like Texas and Florida taking center stage in the debate. In April of this year, Officials in Llano County, Texas, declined to vote on closing libraries after dozens of books containing sexual and racial content that were previously banned were returned to shelves by order of a federal judge. The county commissioners voted unanimously to remove the issue from their agenda, keeping the libraries open with the books on the shelves. Just a month earlier, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis attacked the “myths” surrounding book bans in his home state, showing a video that included content graphic enough to make some those in attendance at his news conference concerned about repeating what they saw. “A lot of what’s been going on is an attempt to create a political narrative,” DeSantis said. “And it’s a false political narrative.” This came about a year after Florida passed their Parental Rights in Education law, banning lessons on sexual topics for children in third grade or younger.

LOL, yes, good, I am anti-book ban myself, lol. “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs

Where do we begin picking this article apart...?
I mean, I know CBS has always been a beacon of truth, except for those nasty rollover accidents. Sometimes the story is more important than the facts, right? And Vietnam, that was just a silly mix up, who knew the government had bought CBS and were using them as a Megaphone? Not CBS management, how could they have known that?
