Reply to comment by ManOnTheMun25 in 5 N.Y. Schools Evacuated After Bomb Threats Over LGBTQ+ Book by wdcmsnbcgay

This book is Gay is not a good example and has caught flack from gays as being unrealistic and lacking useful information. And of course, young people are reading it because the stick-up-the-ass Republicans are trying to ban it.

In any case, I'm still trying to figure out how including Rosa Parks violating the law that required a Black person to give up their seat to a white person in a history book is "dangerous" and "woke". The only chance Republicans have to win in 2024 is to push through as many voter suppression laws as they can.

In a recent court case...

So "it's not fair that black people have to go to back of the bus" is right about on. Of course they'd typically rather not say that part out loud and would rather motte-and-bailey fallacy it.
