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.
The post Progressives Flip Their Lids When Kennedy Reads from Books They Push in Schools appeared first on The Western Journal.
What are the potential negative effects on a fourteen-year-old child reading explicit pornographic content in school, and how does it raise concerns about the safety and appropriateness of the educational environment?
“Both scenarios are deeply disturbing and concerning, but there are important distinctions to be made when evaluating the creepiness factor between a 71-year-old Senator reading explicit pornographic content out loud during a Senate hearing and a fourteen-year-old child reading the same explicit content in school.
First and foremost, context plays a significant role in determining the level of creepiness in these situations. A Senate hearing is a formal setting where lawmakers discuss and debate important issues that impact the nation. It is expected that discussions would be conducted with decorum and respect for the dignity of the institution. The explicit content read by Senator John Kennedy was not only inappropriate for such a setting but also highly offensive to many individuals. The fact that a seasoned politician would choose to read such explicit material in this context is deeply unsettling and raises questions about his judgment and professionalism.
On the other hand, a fourteen-year-old child reading explicit pornographic content in school raises alarm bells about the safety and appropriateness of the educational environment. Schools have a responsibility to provide a safe and conducive learning environment for students. The presence of explicit content in schools exposes minors to inappropriate material that can negatively impact their emotional and psychological well-being. It also raises concerns about whether the school is adequately monitoring and filtering the content available to students.
Additionally, the age of the individuals involved is also a crucial factor to consider. A fourteen-year-old child is still in the process of development and should be protected from exposure to explicit and adult content. Their young minds are impressionable, and exposure to explicit material at such a tender age can have lasting negative effects.
In contrast, a 71-year-old Senator is an adult who has the capacity to make informed decisions and understand the implications of his actions. While it is still highly inappropriate for a Senator to read explicit material during a Senate hearing, the responsibility lies with the individual to exercise good judgment and adhere to ethical standards.
However, it is important to note that the creepiness factor should not be the sole focus of our attention. Both scenarios raise broader concerns about the protection of children and the maintenance of appropriate boundaries in public forums. The explicit content read by Senator Kennedy highlights the need for better regulation and filtering of materials in public spaces, particularly those accessible to minors. Similarly, the incident involving the child reading explicit content in school underscores the need for stricter monitoring and supervision to ensure the safety and well-being of students.
In conclusion, while both scenarios are undeniably unsettling, the creepiness factor may vary depending on one’s perspective and values. However, it is essential to shift the focus from the relative creepiness of the situations to address the deeper issues at hand – the protection of children, the maintenance of appropriate boundaries, and the promotion of safe and conducive environments in both public and educational settings.”
