The judge cited the Supreme Court's recent decision establishing parents' right to opt kids out of LGBTQ+ inclusive lessons.

A Boston judge has ruled in favor of a Massachusetts dad who sued his local school district to ensure his five-year-old son is never exposed to books featuring LGBTQ+ characters.

As the Boston Herald reported, the father, identified in court documents as Alan L., is described as a “devout Christian” who objects to the inclusion of certain children’s books featuring LGBTQ+ characters in the kindergarten curriculum of Joseph Estabrook Elementary School, where his son, identified as J.L., is enrolled.

Ok, no more Bible. After all eve came from Adam's rib right?

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Now all I can think of is Eve pleasuring herself with a human rib.

New kink unlocked.

Giggity, but is rib just another word for penis?

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

It would explain the Mcrib

[–] Triumph@fedia.io 15 points 1 day ago

TBF, everything is another word for penis.

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

No, it was a pun for "life" in the Sumerian original.

Penis bone, or baculum

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, I guess it wouldn't be a barbecued pork rib, would it?

Pleasure yourself with the all new McDonald's McRib this Easter.

Some Athiest should sue to get all religious texts banned in that district, using this ruling as direct precedent.

Do you think they read the Bible? (Or read any books at all?)

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 3 points 22 hours ago

The average American has a sixth grade reading level and some 14% are functionally illiterate (https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/education/adult-illiteracy-us).

Do you know how hard the bible is to read even as a literate person? Even if they did read it, most wouldn't know what they were reading.

The bible confirms God has male and female sexual organs

So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:27

[–] boogiebored@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Gen 1:26 weirdly

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground”

Monotheism came later.

Correct, either Adam or Eve was canonically trans.

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Yeah, so men are giving their own rib. That's kinda gay. Not that I mind being called gay, even though I'm straight (I tried sucking dick. Twice! Not my thing) 🤓
