I GREW up with the stories about Puss in Boots. That could be problematic today, at least in certain states. Puss never wore pants, always strutting around bare below the belt. Pervert, I heard a mother hiss deep down in Alabama. A president shouldn’t interfere in the upbringing of other people’s children, but show me a cat or a dog wearing any type of bottoms, and I’ll tell you what’s the matter with them. That boy is incontinent, or else she’s just recently had her hooha snipped.
In Florida, it is not allowed to teach that slavery was actually bad for the slaves. In Texas, a book is banned about how Anne Frank wrote about her own pubescence. And in Collier County libraries west of Miami, 16 Stephen King books were removed from the shelves. What’s wrong with these people?
In President VanderBus’ America, all parents can decide which book their child can or cannot read. But not which book other parents’ child may or may not see. Want to ban Puss in Boots for your own child? Fine. But you get zero say as to what your neighbor’s child may read.
What a silly debate, anno 2024, in a country where half of all children will have their own smart phone by the time they are 11. What do you think, which pictures and stories do they look up first as soon as they get the chance?
