Texas book ban backfires after school removes Bible over 'sexually explicit' contentThe Friendly Atheist, By Hemant Mehta, on December 23, 2024https://www.friendlyatheist.com/p/texas-book-ban-backfires-after-schoolIn 2023, Texas passed House Bill 900, banning sexually explicit books from school libraries. This law led the Canyon Independent School District to remove the Bible from its shelves due to its graphic depictions of violence, incest, and sexual assault. However, once this removal was discovered in December 2024, Republican Representative Jared Patterson—who sponsored the bill—reacted angrily. He accused the district's superintendent of misinterpreting the law and demanded the Bible's immediate reinstatement, dismissing claims that it contained explicit content. Despite the law being applied fairly, political pressure forced the superintendent to reverse course, restoring the Bible to school shelves without explanation.This situation exposes the hypocrisy of lawmakers who create sweeping policies but expect exemptions for religious texts. The Bible, despite containing mature content, was treated as immune to the very standards imposed on other books. Patterson's reaction demonstrates how political interests can override consistent application of the law, prioritizing religious favoritism over educational integrity. Critics argue this undermines the separation of church and state and compromises children's educational environments by making exceptions for religious doctrine while censoring other literature. The superintendent's capitulation to political pressure reflects how deeply religious influence is embedded in educational policy, especially in conservative regions like Texas.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.2.4 featuring Jimmy Jr., Tracy Wilbert, Helen Greene, and Stephen HarderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

In this week's brain dump, we talk about Utah's recent book ban that included our girl Sarah Maas' entire repertoire. Lip service to protecting children from the dangers of explicit sexual content or an actually effective limit on access? And for older, middle and high school readers, are these books better to read than viewing other explicit content on the internet? Stay bothered, readers!

Hawk is not holding back on the MAGA madness! This time, he's tackling a Rolling Stone article about pro-Trump election deniers infiltrating swing state election offices. But don't worry, he's not buying the fear-mongering. He's pretty sure 70 conspiracy-loving Gomer Pyles can't outvote millions of sane Americans. Plus, he reminds us that Trump's not in the White House anymore, so his "find me 11,780 votes" shtick might not fly this time.Our host then dives into the Republican obsession with controlling everyone's lives, wondering why they're so fixated on other people's business. He ponders if they're all just incredibly repressed, noting that Grindr crashed during the Republican convention in Milwaukee. Apparently, these good Christian soldiers love Jesus almost as much as they love...well, you get the idea.Finally, Hawk gushes about Kamala Harris's campaign like a teenager with a new crush. He's practically doing cartwheels over her fundraising numbers and volunteer sign-ups. Meanwhile, he paints Trump as a rambling old man talking about electric boats and Hannibal Lecter. Hawk's so confident in a Harris victory, he's already planning the "I told you so" party. Just don't invite Chuck Schumer - Hawk's not sure what that guy's been doing for the last four years anyway.

A local council ban on a children's book about same-sex parenting has been overturned, after threatened funding cuts and community outcry.
A local council in Sydney has voted to ban books about same-sex parents from its libraries. Six Cumberland City Councillors voted in favour of the ban, while five, including Mayor Lisa Lake, opposed it. The New South Wales Government has warned it could breach the Anti-Discrimination Act and even threatened to pull the council's library funding, as a result. Councillor Steve Christou proposed the ban, arguing that most of the council's constituents are conservative and religious, and don't want “any form of sexualised experiences” available to children in the library. But is a same-sex parenting book sexualised content? In this episode, Bension Siebert speaks with Councillor Steve Christou to find out why he proposed the ban.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We continue our series of episodes about books that have been banned or challenged around the country. This time, it's the Newbery Award winning novel by Madeleine L'Engle: A Wrinkle in Time. According to the Carnegie Mellon Banned Books Project, the book was challenged in 1985 by parents in Florida who said the book “opposes Christian beliefs and teaches occult practices. The school principal did not remove the book from 4th grade curriculum. In 1990, a parent in Alabama asked to have the book removed because it “sends a mixed signal to children about good and evil.” The school board and superintendent voted unanimously to deny the request. Six years later, the book was challenged in North Carolina for undermining religious beliefs.The school board denied the request. Madeline L'Engle herself told the New York Times in 2001 that “it seems people are willing to damn the book without reading it.” We read it with a group of young readers and this is what they have to say about A Wrinkle in Time. This week, we tackle a classic – the 1963 winner of the Newbery Award “A Wrinkle in Time” by Madeleine L'Engle. Our readers are 5th graders from the British International School in Washington, DC. Our celebrity reader is public radio journalist Stephanie O'Neill. Madeline L'Engle passed away in 2007, but we're joined by her granddaughters Charlotte Jones Volklis and Lena Roy. They've written a biography of their grandmother based on her journals called “Becoming Madeleine.” Kitty Felde is host.
