        Use tor before they start filtering it. That’s usually what they block first. Submit from multiple IPs to make it harder to filter. Be realistic - there are websites that’ll help you generate fake names, addresses. You can even use ChatGPT to write time wasting comments. Try to avoid using real people’s names so you don’t get innocents harassed.

        After our office consistently heard from student, parents, and teachers about objectionable curricula, policies, or programs affecting children, we launched the Eyes on Education portal.

        Our kids need to focus on fundamental educational building blocks, not political ideology - either left or right.

        Eyes on Education is a platform for students, parents, and educators to submit and view real examples from classrooms across the state.

        The Office of the Attorney General will follow up on materials submitted to the portal that may violate Indiana law using our investigative tools, including public records requests, and publish findings on the portal as well.

        To view examples or submit to the portal, select the school corporation and name of the school and upload your documents.

        Upon submission, someone from our office may contact you for additional information or clarification.

        Submissions to the portal will be reviewed and published regularly.

        this is the most ridiculous rhetorical doublespeak I’ve seen in a while. kids need to focus on education, not political ideology, so let’s shove some political ideology down their throats? And, of course, the ass-covering BS logical absurdity that anything “objectionable” must, certainly, be unsafe for children.

          I just watched a youtube video discussing how much fundies have had shel silverstein books banned over the years. I guess they found them “objectionable”. You know, where the sidewalk ends. Fucking psychopaths.

            by the time I was in school - the age we were reading Silverstein - was the mid-late 80s. he’d a had couple banned by then, but my teachers were in love with him, so I got to read most of his books as a kid. what books of his weren’t assigned were to be found in our school’s library and were often fought over. we had a school that really pushed a curriculum that relied heavily on using both the school and local public library for research, even in elementary school. I remember my parts being annoyed at how often they had to take me to the library for even basic schoolwork.

            I loved it.

            I really lament that, today, with the internet, there isn’t a central public repository of trustworthy information for research. the closest is Wikipedia, and, for what it is, it’s pretty fucking great. It’s a great jumping-off point for anyone to start learning on any subject, and I’m super-glad it’s there.

            bringing it back around, Shel Silverstein was a wry observer of humanity but poked his finger in the eyes of too many powerful critics. He had a way of opening the minds of people - especially children - that made people who would like to manipulate the weak scared that Silverstein’s message would make their efforts more difficult. It’s no wonder the would wish to silence him.

            The theater adaptation of Where the Sidewalk Ends was one of our middle school plays at our decidedly “rural” school.

            One mom had a problem with it, and it was only with the “rebellious” bits. She shut up when every other parent rolled their eyes at her. It’s crazy how attitudes shift.

            They want objectionable Shel Silverstein? Because that can be arranged.

            (I don’t want them banning Shel Silverstein or anyone else, I just think it’s funny that they want to ban the only non-dirty stuff he ever did.)

            Shel was a known cannabis user and a bit of a hippie. That’s probably why.

            Fun fact, he also wrote the Johnny Cash song, “a Boy Named Sue”

        Man, that form doesn’t verify any contact information. It sure would be easy to flood it with genuine concern in picture format.

    And just when I thought my state couldn’t get much worse, we’re wasting time and taxpayer money for witch hunts.

      I think you missed the time and taxpayer money that has already been spent on persecuting Dr. Caitlin Bernard for performing a legal abortion on a raped 10-year-old. Rokita has been doing witch hunts for a while now.

      Hello fellow Hoosier, I emailed our school superintendent last year when the stupid book banning bill thing was proposed, and then passed. I wanted to know if there would be a way to tell if people requested books to be banned, so I could go out and buy them for my kid to read. (because obviously they must be read worthy)

      I followed up with him recently since the bill had passed. He did, at least, inform me that no ban requests have been made. So at least in our school there wasn’t some crazy people waiting to start complaining and getting books removed. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to search for banned books though which I would like to see as an option.

        Well that’s definitely encouraging. I’m from a small town (my graduating class was less than 60 people), but I haven’t heard about any book bans here either.

          I actually filled out their form, with my info but didn’t meme them. I wrote out a paragraph or so message about how disingenuous the GOP has been. That this Grandstanding and fear tactics are what has been “dividing” people and that his webpage/form, along with other bills they continue to introduce are the problem. I also reminded him that children aren’t racist, homophobic, (should have included religious) until adults teach them these things.

          I’m sure my message will get lost in the memes but it made me feel better.

    This is like when a little boy has a crush on a girl but pretends they’re disgusted by them and their cooties. I suspect there’s more projecting going on here than a voice-throwing competition.

      Everything that a conservative does is in the name of their own, personal insecurity. It’s all projection of their internalized fear and self-disgust.

    Excuse me, but as a Hoosier, I expect you to always use the full title when discussing Mr. Rokita: Attorney General, Colossal Shitrag and Future Governor Todd Rokita.

    Why yes, it does suck here.

    Figures that the right hates “socio-emotional learning”. Could maybe help make people less shitty, and that’d mean fewer conservative voters

      Emotional intelligence is a four-fold better predictor of economic success and family stability than is intelligence quotient. The right has always been about preventing people from managing their emotional reactions. Their whole shtick is trying to control other people so they never actually have to learn to control themselves. It’s literally always projection with them.

    Why do the hard stuff like work to materially improve the lives of everyone in your state when you can do the easy thing like whatever the fuck this is?
