Stop, Consumer! You have comitted wrongthink! The Small Government ^TM^ is coming to protect your children from the woke contraband. Please stay calm. Your child has been exposed to empathy and understanding. We are taking every possible legal measure to ensure your child stays neatly within the Christian approved boxes designed 6,000 years ago when our Earth was created. This law was brought to you by the Kock Brothers and other conservative Super PACs.

Pearl-clutching MAGA Moms and police abusing their power. Name a more iconic duo.

The accompanying photo, while inaccurate, is hilarious.

No it's true. They sent a SWAT team in, busted through the door and threw flashbangs and smoke grenades.

12:05 we arrived on the screen. Subject: 9 year old white female, 4ft 3in, brown hair, pink dress. 12:10 we identified the lgbtq+ book the subject was reading based on the rainbow dusk jacket. 12:15 deployed flash-bang and smoke grenade. 12:16 assault team b breached the rear of the building and assault team a entered front of classroom 12:27 subject offered little resistance and was taken into custody. Medal of valor was awarded to all operation members for their bravery.

Sounds like a SCP report... hmm, maybe this is how those conservatives see open-minded books.

Not hilarious, kind of terrifying. It seems like something that could actually happen. Especially if Trump is elected

Honestly what do these people think happens to someone who reads a book? Reading books seems like the least threatening way to get information, I mean you can stop reading the book at any time you feel like.

They're afraid kids will pick up the idea that some people being LGBTQ is just a normal part of life.

They get ideas.

Which is why these idiots only want people reading their book.

From the people who love to say "it's just words, words can't hurt you" here comes "books and words are super dangerous and needs to be banned!"

Wrong department was called. They should have called in the firefighters.

I mean, I'm just saying... if I was a kid again, with kid motivations... I'd be making constant anonymous complaints about 'obscene' LGBT books to get out of a few minutes of classwork.

Would you feel guilty when the first time you do this they shot four of your friends due to "resistance and possible weapons" and two of them are now dead?
