    Remember, to Christian fundamentalists and these Republicans, violence is ok for children to see in media, but love and sex is not. What kind of perverse society is that?

      Idk a lot of those fundamentalists don’t like the violence either. You know how many times video games have been blamed for mass shootings etc? They’d rather you just live in a nice whitewashed bubble

        I’m fine with that fundamentals take because…at least it’s consistent. I also think there’s way too much violence and sex in popular media but not for moral reasons.

        But it’s never about morals anyway, it’s about control.

    It’s disappointing that it’s all ‘parents are pushing for’, ‘teachers said’. Do the children, the actual people being affected by this get a voice, or are they just puppets of the parents?

      I’m mean they’re puppets till they’re told to go work in the meat packing plants. Then they’re just cogs. Entire idea is to get them used to being valued only by what they put into society and not what they intrinsically bring to the table.
