Conservative-dominated court restores books denounced by officials as ‘pornographic filth’ to school libraries
An appellate court has ruled that Texas cannot ban books from libraries simply because they mention “butt and fart” and other content which some state officials may dislike.
The fifth US circuit court of appeals issued its decision on Thursday in a 76-page majority opinion, which was written by Judge Jacques Wiener Jr and opened with a quote from American poet Walt Whitman: “The dirtiest book in all the world is the expurgated book.”
In its decision, the appellate court declared that “government actors may not remove books from a public library with the intent to deprive patrons of access to ideas with which they disagree”.
Didn’t Trump fart all the time while in court? I’d expect them to love farts and huff them all the time. Their lord and savior deemed it good enough for his behind, so it shall be good enough for their noses. It was his political statement, banning farts from books is political motivated terrorism or something like that, I don’t know. I’m not insane enough to understand their intentions.
Imagine being all worked up about books mentioning raging obscenities like ‘butt’ and ‘fart’, only to get slapped in the face by Judge ‘Wiener’. 😂
Imagine having that much of an issue with barely offensive words that their kids will never read because most don’t use the school library anyway.
And imagine letting your kids come home and access whatever media they want including actual pornography on the internet. Most of these parents have zero clue how to block internet sites on their home computers and laptops let alone the phones that their kids all have.
But of course, that’s another problem some parents are asking the government to solve by forcing porn sites to require visitors to affirmatively identify themselves and their age. Of course, that only applies to the major porn sites that play by the arbitrary rules anyway. All so stupid.
Theyre trying to ban him next
Victory
Anyone else thinking that this Judge would have gotten his autobiography banned for profanity just for the name?
Take that you butt-hurt fart knockers.
Imagine having to write 76 pages in respond to this bullshit
for extra effect, I recommend reading through the opinion first before imagining. The high quality of the writing really accentuates the ludicrous degree of clown shit on display from the GOP.
To be fair, he didn’t have to make it that long.
On the other hand, we wouldn’t have gotten this:
• Seven “butt and fart” books, with titles like I Broke My Butt! and Larry the Farting Leprechaun;
The primary opinion is only 27 pages. The rest is a three page concurrence a 46 page dissent by Duncan.
And these old farts are complaining about how “soft” today’s youth are? They really need to get their heads out of their butts.
They gonna come for your post next.
And when bullshit like this gets passed and they get in trouble, they automatically assume it’s the left lol
And also tout freedom of speech.
Sounds like they’re the ones in need of new butts.
Get fucked fascists. Exactly never are the ones banning/burning books on the right side of history.
which was written by Judge Jacques Wiener Jr
Heh heh

Reminds me of Stephen Colbert and Hugh Laurie pointing out the sheer ridiculousness of censoring words:

I swear Captain Underpants already negated this like a decade ago lol
Unfortunately, we know how this is going to go: “If you won’t let us ban books from the library, we’ll just ban the library.”
Already happening in some places. Local governments are cutting library funding because they don’t like the some of the content that their libraries are stocking, but the courts won’t let them ban it all.
Which was probably the intent from the start.
The desenting opinion called the court the “library police” for refusing to let the state police the library.
All they know is projection
