Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

i expect them to trust their kids and not try to micromanage the entire country because the don't.
are those mutually exclusive? i didn’t find them to be. as with every single thing, you have to be attentive and responsive to the actual kids and situation. those change as time goes on…
Tf school are you seeing do that? Honestly.
How is it relevant if it isn't happening???
If hustler releases a text only version of their magazines, that should be allowed.
There is no reason to restrict information.
There is a reason to restrict nude pinups, as there is not an educational purpose to them, they are entertainment.
There is no reason to restrict non-sexual depictions of nudity.
There is no reason to restrict sexual depictions of nudity, if the depiction supports a narrative of conflict resolution, safety, or another educational purpose.
I said
The article says
Libraries also serve highschools.
This article is completely age appropriate for a teenager even if it's above your reading level.
This text is pornography? It's candid, and it's opinionated in that it's pointedly describing how women's rights are being eroded.
This text is fine.
The images around the text are absolutely pornography, if you can't make the distinction between words and pictures you do need help.
Like I said earlier...
How are you not following, you bring up hustler, I say the text in the magazine could be fine, and then provide a link to an example of text in hustler magazine that is fine.... Do you click on every link without looking at the URL?
What's your point? The current laws allow for hustler magazine to be curated in a library? It doesn't.
What books have graphic depictions? Do these books “lack serious literary, artistic, political, educational, or scientific value.”?
Is your point that even if a book has serious literary or educational value, it should still be banned? Wanting to ban things of educational or literary value is censorship. It's a free speech issue because these books are forms of expression. Banning things with value deprives other people of that value.
What books? Give an example, if they really have no value it should be unanimous.
No example of a "pornographic" book? Not even the gay penguin one or the other book authored by Mrs Gay?
Spineless shit, prove you aren't a bigot.
Right, your hallucination of pornography in libraries isn't actually happening, and this law is designed to harass educators.
Get bent.
Pornography is not the same as books that acknowledge that the LGBT exist.
