And the law has an oddly specific way of how they dispose of the banned books…

Oh, the Supreme Court will find some way to invalidate the California one while keeping the others. Legally inconsistent and blatant partisan rulings are going to be the norm.

actually, there is not real evidence that neolithic people were less equal with regards to gender as we are today. In fact, given that women in hunter-gatherer communities most likely were responsible for providing the bulk of the food for their communities, they were probably on equal footing with men in their communities…
TLDR, seems an insult to neolithic people to compare them to Fox news…
Weirdly, there is a subset of literature from a Christian perspective that does discuss and encourage healthy sexuality, as long as it’s “biblical” - between a married couple.
yeah… we’ve been saying that since the fucking Texas law passed…
No.
I’m sure Bill O’Reilly’s kids history books are okay. /s (they are not)
You know they’ll find a loop hole for that, though… they’ll say it is a violation of the first amendment to ban the bible…

There is a griftiing angle to it…
Once all the “woke” children books are purged from the libraries, they’ll have to buy conservative children’s books to fill in the voids

I don’t actually know much about it, so will defer to your likely superior information.
I was just making fun of Fox, but yeah, it’s probably unfair to cavemen.

That’s all I’m saying… They do seem to make great lawyers, though… cavemen, not people on Fox News…

for any given issue, it tends to be fair easy to guess which position the far right will take: that’s the only consistency they need.
for guns: they will claim individualized rights are “in” the constitution - when clearly ( because the 2nd amendment is anything but clear ) that’s an interpretation; while they will claim a woman’s right to privacy and autonomy are not there because the word “abortion” doesn’t appear.
they will then shift back and say “money is speech” even though “money” isn’t there… because they want to. and so on to issues of gender and race, etc
we’ll just have lower courts constantly being overruled, and if it gets bad enough - they’ll be ignored or replaced
it’s on the court to do the right thing, or for biden to do so for them. there aren’t any good outcomes if they don’t

So are they going to reprint the bible with Song of Songs removed? Or can people get paid when schools don’t remove that?
It is a book, it is about sex, sexual preferences (yes, heterosexuality is a sexual preference) and is clearly of a sexual nature.

I would be happy with a compromise. The Daily Mail belongs at the bottom of the Mariana trench

Was that not obvious enough as the plan the whole time?
“Constitutional Originalism” == "the last few hundred years of progress must be eliminated, and the text actually means whatever I tell you it means. Oops, turns out none of these protections actually apply… to you.

I think one might even add to this, and say that calling things like this atavistic goes with a mistaken notion of history as linear. There are lots of ways societies can develop over time. Nomadic pastoralists like the Mongols weren’t actually more primitive than settled farmers, they had advanced in different ways. Fascists are awful but not primitive either; they do pretend to strive for an idealistic past, but it’s a fictional one.
