Progressives enraged as Kennedy promotes books they endorse in schools.
What’s creepier? A 71-year-old Senator reading explicit pornographic content out loud during a Senate hearing or your fourteen-year-old child reading that same explicit pornographic content in school.
There’s a correct answer here, but yours may depend on which side of the aisle you’re on.
Progressives were outraged when Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana began reading literary pieces of filth during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Book Bans: Examining How Censorship Limits Liberty and Literature, according to the New York Post and The Advocate.
Kennedy was addressing Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, who had previously supported legislation that aimed to withhold funding from libraries that did not adhere to the guidelines set by the American Library Association.
Among the books are “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and “Gender Queer,” which contain extremely explicit sexual material. Since the Democrats were opposed to banning these books from public school libraries, Kennedy decided to give them a taste of what was in these books, reading a passage from the book, “All Boys Aren’t Blue.”

“I put some lube on and got him on his knees,” the 71-year-old read. “And I began to slide into him from behind. I pulled out of him and kissed him while he masturbated. He asked me to turn over while he slipped a condom on himself. This was my a**, and I was struggling to imagine someone inside me. He got on top and slowly inserted himself into me. It was the worst pain I think I have ever felt in my life. Eventually, I felt a mix of pleasure with the pain.”

Kennedy then read an even filthier passage from “Gender Queer” that’s frankly not fit for reprint.
“Now, Mr. Secretary, what are you making us do?,” Kennedy said to Giannoulias. “Are you suggesting that only librarians should decide whether the two books that I just read should be available to kids? Is that what you’re saying?”
“No,” Giannoulias responded, and for just one moment, it seemed as if he had some humanity and understanding for what parents seeing this content in their child’s bookbag might feel.
But when pushed by Kennedy, he gradually regained his composure and his ridiculous stand on this kind of literature, saying, “With all due respect, Senator, the words you spoke are disturbing, deeply disturbing, especially coming out of your mouth, it’s very disturbing… but I would also tell you that we’re not advocating for kids to read porn.”
When asked what he was advocating, Giannoulias continued, “We are advocating for parents, random parents, not to have the ability under the guise of keeping kids safe to try and challenge the worldview of every single manner on these issues.”
Which sounds like another way of saying, “I really don’t have an answer here, but it’s my party’s platform to keep parents from protecting their kids’ innocence.”
Other Democrats expressed outrage too — not at the content, mind you, but at the retelling of it.
“The real story here is: the paper is blank, Kennedy’s reciting from memory,” Keith Obermann tweeted, not even seeing how his comment mocking Kennedy actually reflected on the fact that he thought the content was smut and yet condoned it for children.

“Didn’t know Sen. John Kennedy was an ally!” Ben Collins from NBC News tweeted, seemingly oblivious to the fact that in making that joke, he was admitting that anyone who wanted to distribute such content to kids was an “ally.”

What Kennedy did may have been a stunt but it showcased the hypocrisy of those on the left who support giving such books to children but cringe when an adult reads it to a room full of other adults.
“Mr. Secretary, I understand this is good for your politics back home,” Kennedy finally said after going round and round with those on the Democrat side with no solutions offered other than cliches about censorship. “But you came here with a problem and I’m trying to find a solution and you don’t have one, other than to tell us that if we don’t agree with you, we’ll be on the wrong side of history,” he said.

So, what’s creepier than a 71-year-old reading porn? The other people in the room who would rather have kids reading it.

How do individuals on both sides of the debate view Senator Kennedy’s act of reading explicit content in a Senate hearing?
G=”en”>Why is Senator Kennedy reading sexually explicit material to the Senate Judiciary Committee? This is not a question that anyone expected to ask, but it has become a reality. The controversial act has sparked a debate about what is truly disturbing: a 71-year-old Senator reading explicit pornographic content out loud during a Senate hearing or a fourteen-year-old child reading that same explicit pornographic content in school.
The incident occurred during a hearing titled “Book Bans: Examining How Censorship Limits Liberty and Literature,” in which Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana decided to make a statement. Kennedy was addressing Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias, who had previously supported legislation that aimed to withhold funding from libraries that did not adhere to the guidelines set by the American Library Association.
To illustrate his point about the content of certain books that were not being banned from public school libraries, Kennedy read a passage from the book “All Boys Aren’t Blue.” The excerpt he read contained extremely explicit sexual material that is not suitable for children.
While some argue that Kennedy’s act was a necessary step to shed light on the inappropriate content available to children, others view it as a political ploy or even exploitation. Progressives have expressed their outrage, claiming that Kennedy’s reading was unnecessary and graphic.
Following the reading from “All Boys Aren’t Blue,” Kennedy read another passage from the book “Gender Queer,” which was even filthier and deemed not fit for reprint. The intention behind this act was to highlight the explicit content that is accessible to children.
Opponents of Kennedy’s action argue that children should not be exposed to such explicit content, whether it is read by a senator or found in a school library. They assert that such material is inappropriate for young minds and can have harmful effects on their development.
On the other hand, supporters of Kennedy argue that his reading served a purpose – to bring attention to the need for censoring explicit material in libraries and schools. They believe that parents should have the power to protect their children from exposure to sexually explicit content at a young age.
The debate revolves around the balance between freedom of speech and protection of children. Should explicit content be readily available to children? Or should it be the responsibility of parents, schools, and libraries to ensure that children are shielded from such material until they are of an appropriate age?
Ultimately, the answer to the question of what is creepier depends on one’s perspective. It highlights a divide between those who prioritize the freedom of speech and those who prioritize protecting children from harmful content.
The incident involving Senator Kennedy has sparked a broader conversation about the role of censorship, parental control, and the boundaries of
