According to https://alabamareflector.com/2024/07/02/autauga-prattville-library-board-approves-book-removal-policy-as-controversy-continues/ , books for minors in libraries cannot have "...graphic descriptions, illustrations or other representations of sexual conduct...sexuality, sexual orientation, sexual abuse or transgender identity. The book or material also cannot promote or glorify illicit drug or tobacco use, have racial or ethnic themes, sexual harassment or discrimination, homosexual themes, xenophobia or transphobia.

It also cannot have content that relates to gender identity, promiscuity, teen pregnancy, physical or sexual abuse, pedophilia, polygamy, or any other form of criminal behavior."

So, which books that you loved growing up with would be removed from Alabama's libraries?

I'll go first:

"Free to Be You and Me" -- gender identity
"The Hobbit" -- tobacco use
Just about everything by Judy Blume. (SO MUCH gender identity in every book. An awful lot of sexuality there, too.)
"Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" (Racial themes)
"Ozma of Oz" (transgender identity.)

Any others?

Rocky Horror Picture Show is owned by 20th Century Fox, which is owned by Disney.

Frank N. Furter is definitely a queen, so Rocky Horror is a Disney princess.

@thomasfuchs Daffy Duck was a Looney Tunes character.

"Disney is so woke now, cartoons shouldn't be political."

William Spivey did the right thing.

Life is too short to spend time around racists.

Oh, crap.

I just got a phone call from an agency.

Someone has scraped my resume -- but replaced my email address with theirs.

Luckily, they didn't change the phone number.

I have confirmed that the email address is live. But it's a @gmail.com address.

Do you have any suggestions on what to do?

Sadly, this terrible situation was a fact of life for many Americans for many years.

African Americans were not able to move safely until the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Here is a series of websites about their problems: https://negromotoristgreenbook.si.edu/

In the 1950s, women could be forcibly checked for possible STDs on the say of a policeman: https://www.history.com/news/chamberlain-kahn-act-std-venereal-disease-imprisonment-women

Attacks against Jewish people have been frequent, and continue to today: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antisemitic_incidents_in_the_United_States

All of these are wrong and terrible... but they have happened for centuries in the United States.

Grieving for the Israeli civilians who died today is not support for Netanyahu.

Grieving for the Palestinians who have died in this brutal war is not support for Hamas.

Don't you hate when the Moon almost crashes into Venus?

@feld Are you sure that it was timber and not sugar cane?
