  3.  @patrickcleburneuczjsxpmp9558  The Union (Lincoln) was apprehensive about making the war about slavery, because plenty of white people in the north really didn't care about it all that much. In the beginning, the conflict was (to the Union) about reunifying the states. The Confederacy, however, had explicitly different ideas: "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world." - Literally the second paragraph in Mississippi's declaration of secession. "[The Union] demand[s] the abolition of negro slavery throughout the confederacy, the recognition of political equality between the white and negro races, and avow their determination to press on their crusade against us, so long as a negro slave remains in these States. - from Texas's declaration of secession. "[...][The Republican Party] entered the Presidential contest again in 1860 and succeeded. The prohibition of slavery in the Territories, hostility to it everywhere, the equality of the black and white races, disregard of all constitutional guarantees in its favor, were boldly proclaimed by its leaders and applauded by its followers. With these principles on their banners and these utterances on their lips the majority of the people of the North demand that we shall receive them as our rulers. [...] We refuse to submit to that judgment [...]" - from Georgia's declaration of secession. Need I go on, or would you care to read the document OP is referring to, yourself?

  31. ​ @NinjaKittyBonks  Which books were showing sexual material to five-year-olds? As I understand it, books discussing LGBT stuff do just that: discuss it. I would be very interested to see examples of these "graphic descriptions" and "suggestive images" that could be understood by someone who is five. Unless two male ice cream cones holding hands is what you consider to be "graphic". "Same-sex images or scenes" are not adult activities. Same-sex intercourse is an adult activity, as all intercourse is (or should be). I hate to take the worst-faith interpretation of what you're saying, but the constant conflation of gay relationships and gay sex is the modus operandi of right. It serves there interests to associate gay people with the perceived "gross"-ness of sex to their prude voterbase. If you aren't conflating the two intentionally, then you've been drinking too much of the Daily Wyre's cool aid. The concept of an "age of consent" is actually a fairly recent development, which is why there are quite a few countries around the world (even in Europe) with the age of consent as low as 14. Of course, I don't think it should be that low. But the idea that there is any kind of consensus about that (especially for/over "thousands of years") is completely wrong. I'm not asking that every five year old receive a graphic description of sex in order to graduate kindergarten. But by the end of elementary school (so like 8 or 9) should at least know that gay people exist. They certainly know that straight people do! I had already been in and out of my first relationship by the time I was in 4th grade, and we all got "the talk" when we were in 5th. "Protecting the developing mind" from the existence of gay people isn't responsible... it's censorship.

  37.  @NinjaKittyBonks  Not engaging you over your obsession with my channel. Sorry! 1.) Gender Queer was suggested for EDUCATORS (teachers) to read, not their students. A quick google search of "Gender Queer in schools" brings up a Poynter fact-checking article that pretty quickly debunks the notion that teachers are forcing 1st- and 2nd-Graders to read Gender Queer. According to the article, "Fox News itself noted the NEA’s list was for educators in a separate online article published July 4." Following blowback, the NEA (National Education Association) appended its recommendation on the 5th, saying, "Educators read diverse books so that they can better understand their colleagues, students, and families they serve... The books here are not recommended for students." I sincerely encourage you to examine information that gives you a strong emotional reaction. More often then not, it's doing that to hide the fact that it isn't true. You go on about this book for three paragraphs, but given that I've provided a source that debunks your claim at the root--that young children are being exposed to "Gender Queer"--I needn't address this further. I don't appreciate the constant bad faith accusations. Many of your comments have gone missing, so I haven't been able to read them! 2.) I agree that young kids shouldn't have access to porn from their school libraries. We disagree, however, on what constitutes "porn". Please tell me about a book that is actually pornographic, and is also actually available to children in the public school system, so that we can continue this discussion. I will happily go through and address every single book that comes to your homophobic little mind. <3 3.) You may be personally invested in stopping children from seeing porn, but that investment is being manipulated by the people you receive your information from. They do want to hide the existence of gay people, because it serves their homophobic interests. You, by spreading the misinformation that they made up, are helping them to erase gay people. Do you just uncritically think that there is some mysterious force pushing (((THE AGENDA))), or do you actually mean something specific by that? WHOSE agenda is it? What do they intend to accomplish by allegedly putting explicit material in schools? 4.) There is actually no difference between the things you listed and the book we are discussing, in the sense that NEITHER ARE AVAILABLE TO SCHOOL CHILDREN IN SCHOOL.
