It is always interesting to see what ideas legislators come up with during session. There was a lot of conversation about school library books late last year and at the beginning of this year — but in the end the Republican-controlled Iowa legislature did nothing.
Democrats, meanwhile, rallied behind sexually explicit books being in school libraries.
Perhaps the poster child book of the debate was “Gender Queer.” This title contains images that Google flagged as containing adult sexual content and Facebook flagged for violating its community standards on sexual activity.
Yet Iowa House Democrats rallied behind the books. A number of Iowa House Democrats proposed a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the legislature from making a law that restricts the books or other written materials used to instruct students in elementary schools, secondary schools, universities or any other educational institution.
Perhaps Iowa House Democrats are not familiar with the images from “Gender Queer.” Reader warning, they’re vulgar, but can be viewed here.
The resolution did not go anywhere, but it is worth noting that only the Iowa Minuteman Civil Defense Corps registered against it.
The Iowa Library Association, Iowa State Education Association and Iowa Chapter of Sierra Club joined AFSCME Iowa Council 61 in support.
The proposed amendment was sponsored by Democrat Representatives Dave Jacoby, Charlie McConkey, Bob Kressig, Steve Hansen, Monica Kurth, Dave Williams, Ross Wilburn, Traci Ehlert, Sharon Steckman, Rick Olson, Beth Wessel-Kroeschell and Amy Nielsen.
Excellent rebuttal to the garbage published in the Des Moines Register. There is objectively, and factually, overwhelming amounts of evidence of the fraud in the 2020 election, and yes it is a result changing amount.
Since when do 4 states – nearly simultaneously – stop counting votes on election night? Coincidentally, they all returned with a massive swings in votes for ONE person and the vote dumps just happened to bring Biden ahead?
There are government property videos obtained from FOIA requests showing a massive ballot harvesting operation with THOUSANDS of ballots muled into drop boxes by tens and hundreds of the same people – in states where ballot harvesting is ILLEGAL. The states with ballot mules caught on video just happen to be the same states Biden needed 3-4 additional days of counting AFTER the election was over to just barely overcome Trump’s lead and scrape out the slimmest of wins. 2020 was stolen. If not for the 4 states Biden magically won after massive vote dumps occurring post vote counting being suspended, which all created the smallest of vote leads (a grand margin of victory totaling just ~40K “votes” if all 4 states combined) – he never would’ve been declared the “winner”.
At this point, the people STILL claiming there was no evidence of fraud in 2020 are either part of the corruption, imbeciles, too lazy to look at, or for, the evidence (making their opinion worthless), or they are simply choosing to LIE and actually DO KNOW the election was stolen. Being able to admit there was massive fraud and the 2020 election was stolen does require a person to have a tiny amount of common sense and and an ounce of integrity. Any person void of both need not opine – unless they prefer to publicly lose all personal and professional credibility, which perhaps the 2 professors opining in the Des Register NEVER had to lose?
