Rural communities often have poor or no internet and it’s expensive . It’s part of why they fall behind.

They will start burning the internet next. Good luck as its online now. I believe in the South the Internet was still in books until 2022.

... since when is tiktok a reference for literacy and or information? or even education? i'm confused here as what was the point.
GoldLinings
shhhhh let them think books are the issue.
londonosierra2000
Those kids don't even know how to read, now you're gonna ban them from reading. Ever wonder why the USA became irrelevant?

I'm playing "It Takes Two" right now, and I can assure you, a book is very definitely my problem.
Excludos
So you're saying we need to censor the internet?! Let's get right on that!
Thephedora
The internet or tiktok is mostly not peer reviewed...
buttcreambandit
No. Books are incredibly powerful. One book might break a kid out of the echo chamber that is the internet (this is a good thing)

This sentence has far too many words for Republicans to understand it

Their parents have access to facebook, foxnews, and the bible, look where it got them.

And if you have concerns, some libraries will help your child specifically not read books you don't want, without affecting others.
isthisjunkmail
There it is. Problem is, it requires some light reading.
fartscale
Oh they want to “light” reading alright
CyanideBreathMint
And some slight parenting.
PaintedSlate
Eh, they know what they're doing. It's not about restricting content per se. It's about sending a message. Fascism escalates.
ThisIsAWasteOfMyTime
Exactly. Scaring teachers away from addressing any injustices is a good first step in their mind.
TheBlueMuppet
Well, let's burn tiktok?
Krobbt
I know that Republicans lurk here. If any of you read this, can you honestly justify what your kind is doing right now?

Careful, they're already trying to do the same to the internet. In time, they just might succeed.
Archeron
You're wrong, I have 4 kids and none of them have full access to the internet or TikTok.
MahuAurelius
Books ARE the problem. Specifically, lack of reading them. These fuck poles doing all this have likely never even read a book.
TheobromineAddict
They never read their guiding text, the Bible.
Ivalicenyan
So by this logic, are we the whiners for being upset about the book burning because it doesn't matter because internet?
TheHorseShesElbowDeepIn
There’s gotta be some kind of way to scam the book burners with NFTs of the books they’re burning…
PracticalCuddles
Because banning books has worked out so well for other nations…
ImpossibleAgenda
My kids are prohibited from tik tok.
djangojazz
Problem is that some adults know less than children. And mysteriously they all seem to be Republican.
PlankTableGo
Christians have seized the schools, libraries, and US government - they will try to do the same with the internet.
Fauxcused
books are not the problem but feeling the desire to ban them is
4everwild
The book burners and their kids have never read more than a McDonald’s drive thru menu
AVaguelyFamiliarUsername
Oh, they probaly read "Mein Kampf" written by that famous painter...

That's not true, there's plenty of magazines they'll read (I don't even know if this is /s or just funny and sad)

Cuz that has pictures?
henofthewoods
Numbered photos. lol
fartscale
I read that as numbered potatoes for a second. But for them, it might be accurate
