My main goal is to provide you the tools to rationally share your opinion on tough topics.
I've adopted the mindset that you can either be a victim of your past or a victor of your future and that at some point, you have to move forward in your life and accept that you are the present manifestation of the past.
I'll always be here to share my thoughts and offer a new perspective on tough topics. From politics to culture and self-development to new ideas, I'm here to talk about it all.

Just found your channel. Great content. We all need to hear more voices like yours in society. Rational, reasoned and sensible debate. Great stuff. You have a new subscriber.
Go check out the WPATH files. It's quite an interesting read.
I keep posting and it gets shadow banned out of reality every time! Can anyone else see what I commented?
READ THE WPATH DOCUMENTS. IT'S QUITE AN INTERESTING READ.
my gay neighbor feels the same way. and people will judge gays for this even if they don't agree with these books
People against this aren’t against gays or queers. They’re against the suggestive content.
This video better not get age restricted.
While it proves the point I hope it does lol. I wouldn't want a kid running across the images from the video.
People who claims that it's "against us" are completely stupid, TOO stupid to understand the real issue with those books.
While these extreme examples def need to be removed, there are many parents and boards who try to get rid of books literally just for having any gay couples or have any example of racism. It's all about balance and reason.
@@darkriku12 Exactly. That's why there needs to be fair oversight. Extreme liberals and extreme conservatives are both TOXIC to America and the world.
I ran into this content when I was 10. Let me say, I WAS NOT OK. It royally fucked me up as a kid and I was a 10 year old addicted to porn.
The people saying it’s not that bad don’t have children in school
A.K.A Breatuder who claim we’re “overreacting”
They also should not be allowed near schools if they’re saying this crap.
Fr
I don’t have kids in school and I’m honestly shocked 😳
Hopefully they don't have children at home as well
They should be learning their ABC's. Not STD's
Lmaooooooo
I don't understand why you think this is funny.
@@dromsealis4844it’s just funny because it’s a play on words, but it is still a very valid point
Teens should be learning about STDs, but not reading porn.
@@SUPRFCFr porn should be 18+
CORRECTION: Sexually explicit books have been banned by schools. It's PORN and porn has no place in the school libraries!! Even at the 7-11 porn is kept behind the counter!
That's already bad, so bad that a gas station has higher standards than a school a place that should have higher standards than a mere gas station
If you wanna know.
Public pornography is illegal.
( ^ Reviewing pornography with 0+ y/o people with no consent. Whether in your own property or not. )
Private pornography is legal.
( ^ Reviewing pornography alone. Only considered private if in your own property. )
The fact that it was even in schools to begin with…yeahhhh
Of course, it's possible to make a pornographic book, that has no place in a school library. However, there are also many pearl-clutchers on the right, who want to "protect" people's feelings, jealousy, etc. - and those are the same people, who humiliated everyone else in school, by getting to feel human and good enough for sex, while others could not and got targeted and bullied by these people, who only now, claim their innocent wholesomeness, and probably also encourage their daughters to humiliate boys and make them feel ugly and worthless, to drive them insane, to pressure them to commit rape and school shootings... For sadistically gleeful FUN-supremacy (for girls, until they get raped or shot, at least)! In my view, they need to clean up their own front yards, before opening their mouths. And they can't because it's all in the past, now they're adults and not sexy enough to remove the humiliation anymore, they can't stop the pain they caused. So they need to shut up, and butt out entirely, and live with the shame of causing irreparable damage to other people's minds, dignity and lifetime happiness.
Oh yea in some places at 7/11 you can buy hentai for sum reason, don’t uhh ask how I know.
I hate it when things are oversexualised. People forget about true genuine relationships and good stories.
I’m beyond tired of the over sexualization and pornification of our society. It’s ruining people, men and women, in different, life-altering ways. This is all being done on purpose to take away the innocence of children and to take away childhood itself.
So many books, movies, TV shows with ridiculous scenes that were totally unnecessary.
Everything gone bad, gone sexual.
Kids need to learn more about healthy friendships. The loneliness epidemic is a thing.
@@Gatefan1565It's better in canada. I rewatch my favorite canadian shows because they don't rely on the stuff american hollywood does for shock value.
The amount of gaslighting people will do to try and say this is ok. It’s vile.
Tbh i think we america is becoming too accepting of bad behavior like child drag shows and these books. A system needs checks and balances to prevent bad people from taking over, the 2SLGBTQIAPQAS Community doesnt, (how many acronyms are there now compared to 10 yrs ago?)
@@DumbOrangeFrogfrom what ive seen, they only accept it because they wanna be seen as good people. having boundaries = bad person nowadays.
i only say this because any time someone pushes back on these things the first thing ppl will say is “your __phobic” as a way to maybe guilt trip you or scare you?? it’s not even scary so im not 100% sure why they resort to labelling lol
@@kaloreadings4367 What’s there to be scared of, honestly? 😂
Probably because they’re perverted themselves. Same type of people to have open marriages and sleep with a new person every weekend. No morals, no values, just living a life of instant gratification and selfish pleasure.
It's amazing and sickening. The line that bothers me the most is that the children need to see this stuff if they are gay. First off, a parent doesn't know for sure that a child will ultimately be gay as an adult. Second, just because a child is gay doesn't mean that they aren't an innocent child, and aren't worthy of the same protection as any other child. It's really sad and has made me realize just how at risk for abuse these children are. People don't view them as ordinary, innocent children.
In late elementary school I asked my mom about LGBTQ+. I already knew the basics of LGB, but i was curious to hear it from an adult and not a friend or online.
All she told me was; “Gay is when a boy likes a boy, lesbian is when a girl likes a girl, and bisexual is when you like both boys and girls. Anything more then that you don't have to worry about till you're older. Come back and ask in about it when your in 6th grade.”
That’s the perfect description. No encouraging, no discouraging, just explaining.
I remember a LONG time ago, I had this SpongeBob shirt where SpongeBob had this fluffy scarf around him. And I begged my mom for it! She told me no, and that he looked gay. I asked her what that meant and she said it’s when a boy acts like a girl and when a girl acts like a guy. And yeah, that’s not all it is, but I kinda understood. She still bought it for me because I kept telling her I wanted it lol. My mom and I also used to watch Modern Family together, and Mitch and Cam were the first “gay” couple I had ever seen. They didn’t dress like girls, but Cam did act feminine. But they were regular dudes. They were hyper sexualized freaks we see today. And no, my mom is NOT homophobic. She was just making a comment, she actually has no problem with gays lol
6th grade..... I mean thats a bit young too but whatever
@@JinxMarie1985no hate just wanted to get this out but I know first-second graders that know what all of it is
@@Pikupikuya yeah and thats absolutely disgusting.
Can we talk about how I am an art major in college and we still have to sign release forms for nudity? AND WE ARE ADULTS. Yet, this is openly being out in schools? Kind of wild
For the nude models or to make nude art ?
Probably for seeing nude models for drawing.
Well if i was doing a art class i wouldn't want to du nude art.......
@@THEONlyGOOdmemes32 then you wouldn’t be an art major in college. It’s a part of art, not separate from it

If the content is too inappropriate to be read in a meeting of adults then WTF is it doing in the schools with children.
Reminds me of someone reading out an assignment to a school board and had her mic cut because “It wasn’t appropriate for her to be reading that material in a Meeting of Adults” when she was reading, her daughter had to read out loud in a Classroom.
@@americankid7782 Contradicting much?
@@rogersepeda exactly
Because the schools suck at reading the books they’re putting in the school. My school had the Book IT…if you don’t know, that book has a scene where a 13 year old girl is hangbanged by her fellow 13 year old friends.
@@Taz.K just like video games , it should be rated E , E10+, T, M, Ao.
On "My Shadow is Purple": Tomboy erasure is real, ya'll.
Also, how the hell did we go from "Boys can play dress-up and girls can play sports and there's nothing wrong with that" to "Your 4 year old son likes Barbies? He might be a transgirl"?!?
Now there's no "might be"! It's almost assumed. So NOW we have stereotypes again? Now people can't just be a boy who likes pink or a girl who likes active outdoor play? Now that makes them the opposite sex? Wokeness is SO regressive on so many fronts while claiming to be progressive! Those in the woke cult don't see this! [Edited for length & clarity.]
Took the words right of my mouth.
I’m a proud, married tomboy. I’ll kick your a$$ in game or beauty pageant, I don’t care which.
TBH this reminded me of how much I hated being called a tomboy. I am a female and I was raised in Idaho with a dad who was a backyard mechanic so I learned how to do cool things like ride motorcycles and rebuild carbs. I am a female, though. Tomboy was our parents regendering us, it was the first step to the hell we are in now.
@@NiaLaLa_V Tomboy ain't gender though. But it is gendered and that's why they're trying to get rid of it. Much like all other gendered terms, and even some that aren't (herstory, really) it has got to go according to the cult.
Because evil people spend a great deal of money and make a great deal of money from it.
People are confusing "personalities" with "gender." A man with more feminine traits, is still a man. Women with masculine traits are still women. Just because you may have some personality traits that are more common with the opposite gender, does not make you that gender.
yeah...
They're going against gender stereotypes
exactly. not every man think alike or like the same thing, same for women. why is this an issue or being brought up in schools? let kids be kids.
It's ironic considering how they talk about gender being a man made thing but will spin on a dime and say a dude who bakes or likes bright colors is "feminine." Tomboy used to just be a gal that was a bit rough and tumble or dressed a bit like the guys, but now, according to them it's actually a whole other gender, or a sign that you're trans.
I've been saying the same thing since this whole thing started. It's why I don't understand how you can "feel" your gender. Your clothing choices, hobbies, choices of tv shows, books, etc, are preferences. They don't define your gender. Sure, you can be a girl and like traditional "girly" things but that doesn't make anymore of a girl, then females who prefer more traditional masculine things/actvities. People who are "non-binary" say that they identify as that gender because they like to wear boys/girls clothes and have interests that are traditionally linked to both genders. SO DOES THE MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION! We all have both masculine and feminine energy,(hormones anyone?) It doesn'tfefine your gender.
The thing that I am trying to understand is that if children cannot consent to sex until 18, why are we publishing such graphic books detailing the whole process of engaging in these behaviors for our children to reach. Granted we have health classes to teach us about the general anatomy and how “pro-creation” works but we don’t need to be pushing this agenda in our schools
There are thousands of schools in the USA. Bad books slip through the cracks. It’s not an “agenda.”
in australia the legal age of consent is 16, and they teach us these things in the form of silly little animations from 12
@@my.fav.no..is.12.point.9same in the Uk
My daughter loves the show “Heartstopper”, the Netflix series of Nick and Charlie, it IS actually quite sweet (and I’m a Conservative mother). Not inappropriate for most. There are some parts where she knows to turn away from looking at the more aggressive kissing which isn’t happening constantly, it’s more about the feelings of belonging, friendships and first love. I agree that all of the other books are basically versions of the Kama Sutra. It’s insane. The fact that parents aren’t given the material beforehand and consulted is a clear indicator that there are people out there using this material to groom our children. Thank you, Amir for opening up a truthful conversation, as always. ❤
Agree and North American man boy love association should be shut down
YESS!
As a 16-year-old lesbian, I find it completely completely disgusting How schools are trying to rub LGB content on kids and teenagers, honestly it’s driving me crazy
As a fellow lesbian in high school, I didn’t realize how bad it has gotten, because my school doesn’t do that (despite living in a liberal-ish area). We have a shared library, and if a book has mature content the librarians won’t let the middle schoolers check it out (I think). We do have a banned book celebration, but it’s about books that were banned for strange reasons, never because of sexual content (but I don’t know much) They let us know. It’s crazy that people don’t ever consider this.
It's causing acceptance for LGBTQ people the plummet because the loudest people are the craziest activists.
Many people have only one priority in life: to get back at their parents for making them sit through church.
I love your pfp!
You're already destroyed and living a delusional life
Kids shouldn't be shown sexually explicit content, whether straight or gay. Simple as that.
Also side note you said "That's why i spent over 100 dollars on these 2 books" which is absurd.
Welcome to the “professional” book market (aka ramped up prices because they’re considered learning material). I’ve tried getting some music theory books and they ain’t cheap
Took the words right out of my mouth! Leave the kids alone!!!
The way my eyes almost bulged out when he mentioned how much he paid for them.
Plus it’s illegal to show this to kids
Absurd** 😊
"It's perfectly normal" sound like it was said by that weird, drunk, touchy uncle of SA victims.
And yes ALL books about sexuality, particularly how to perform, where to perform, how and where to get partners to perform with etc. be it straight gay or otherwise, has no place in Schools. Our children aren't even learning core subjects any more, let alone how to be productive members of society. ONE reason is diverting energy and time into this, and related agendas and subjects in classrooms.
Not right wing, not anti-gay, not anti-sex education. But adults showing books to kids telling them how to have sex? No, we absolutely know what that leads to 😡.
Thats the point... The creators and pushers of these books WANT that.
Like, u could give them a vague idea, but DONT SHOW THEM THE DIFFERENT POSITIONS💀💀💀
This!
Depends the age. Once kids start puberty I don’t think banning them from sex education is the right thing to do. Learning about how sex works is so important to prevent pregnancy and STD issues from happening. What age are these books targeting? 14+ children should 100% learn about sex and how it works. You expect them to turn 18 and magically know how to function as a human after years of repression and censorship from basic human functions?
@Twink6629-lg3te
There is learning about the functions of s-x, and then there is *crossing the line* by depicting s-xual positions / instructions on _how_ to preform the acts.
You can educate teens about safety measures, potential diseases, etc...
Like what education I had as a teen in class, it never depicted anyone in the middle of the act or described how to preform any lewd acts and just as effectively got the point across.
Edit to add: In no way does a teenager need to know _how_ to exactly blow an Oscar Meyer weiner.
Man I remember when the best children’s books were Rainbow Fish, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. What happened to THOSE?! 😢
I read all three even had my own copies way back when
@@kirayoungbloodI did too :V I read TVHC to my nephew when he was a baby
Damn the very hungry caterpillar is ao nostalgic
They are racist now
Those are still popular...in preschool and kindergarten. My child loved all of those books. There are incredible selections in children's picture books nowadays, I haven't come across anything inappropriate from all that I've seen at my libraries and bookstores. It's when you get into the chapter books and YA where you'll see more inappropriate content.
7:35 My Shadow is Purple
Personally, I understand why this book shouldn't be read to elementary school children, yet I still understand where it was coming from. If that makes sense.
To clarify, I FEEL that the focus was a bit off with the focusing on being nonbinary. Yet, the book was RIGHT with the message that you can like things that aren't "traditionally" specific to your sex or gender. For example a male can like clothes that are considered socially female while still being a male and identifying as such.
I also FEEL that the teacher had the right intention, just the wrong direction. She shouldn't have gotten fired but instead put through some type of training.
I'm open to RESPECTFULLY discussing this with anyone ❤️
But to label EVERY kid as Non-Binary is kinda of a stretch. Both genders could like the opposite things that is assigned to specific genders which can gives:
-boys
>tomgirls (erasure)
-girls
>tomboys (erasure)
-transboys
-transgirls
In the book, by the very end of the story, all the children comes out as one "gender" and that's non-binary.
@@DrunkHorse-INN don't know how I missed the fact that they had every kid come out as non-binary. To my understanding, the kids were just showing off things they like to do that people don't expect from their gender. But, yes, I agreed that you shouldn't label everyone as Non-binary ❤️
Non binary isn’t real. A 5 year I’ll d is so impressionable that they’ll think they’re not a boy or girl just cuz they like certain things. It’s called personality. Not gender. Only two genders.
@@whyyouneedtoknow419Being nonbinary, trans agender etc is fine but it really smudged the intended message and it's really weird because it's fine to just stick to the gender binary and I think if instead it just focused on the main character not feeling like a man or woman it would be pretty much ok but still for an intended for 10+ because smaller kids could still be confused
I think "My Shadow's Purple" could be saved. Just have shadows represent a person's individuality instead of gender and chop the whole gender non-binary message out and replace it with "you can be a boy and wear dresses and do girly things, and girls can wear suits and do boy things".
The book's such a waste tbh. It could've had a great message for students who didn't feel "feminine" or "masculine" because of what their wore, their hobbies, etc.
True I'm a gal who loves both girly and boyish things,like Doom, Dungeons and Dragons,MLP,Barbie,dresses and I'm still a gal,me liking both doesn't mean I'm a boy or nonbinary.
@@PercydeRoloFangirlSame, i like femenine clothes such as dresses and shows that are considered for girls, despite, i still feel as a boy
Kids should NOT be exposed to this sexually explicit material! They are way too young to understand this! After they are 18, they can do whatever they want! Teachers should be teaching kids Math & Reading!
Imagine if it was a lewd manga
exactly
Yessir that's facts
I wonder how is the education system now
@@MrBrandonStar ironically? They would be the first to call for a ban, but those "educative books"? It's a-ok.
Why can’t teachers just focus on their students how to excel in Math, Science, writing, sports, good manners and right conduct, and How to be a good citizen. This is so sad.
They still don't teach how to do taxes. I feel that really should be a higher priority than all this jazz.
Well in their point of view , this is teaching good conduct and good citizen. What bad to one person can be seen good to someone else. That why it better for schools to leaves morality up to parents and not teachers
Like the chinese
Point of school is to make you smart enough to pay taxes, and vote. If your to smart you become a problem
Remember its the STATE who is pushing this, ie DEMOCRATS, teachers are forced to teach some of this, of course their are also some lost souls who have been brainwashed by this movement who are more openly promoting it while others try to supress it as best they can.
I never realized it was this bad. I'm a senior, about to graduate, and any less SFW books in the library were vanilla at *worst*. Why tf is this shit in a middle school?
I went over to the Trevor Project to check it out since so many organizations were advertising is as a safe place for kids who were suicidal. It's basically filled with kids asking others to date them or judge them on how they look. There are also lots of links to private discord groups that encourage kids to run away from their parents.
you should hear what I heard about them!! WOW...this comment confirms it!
"They're five, leave them alone."
Sums it up perfectly. Thank you for discussing this topic in such a rational and sensible way, so much respect for you.

there is an easier way to discuss lgbt topics in school, but the explicit books can be banned since those are not for kids lol
"Children are especially harmed when not celebrated and validated" Wrong. She is projecting.
Children need to be loved and supported, but they also need to be guided, taught facts and disciplined. If all you do is celebrate your child's every move including wrong and bad behavior; as they grow you will raise entitled narcissists.
Facts friend.
Both are true
Nonbinary is one of those things that just genuinely irks me. Especially when people start to point to animals that would be classified as nonbinary.
But those animals are biologically in a non-binary state. They are born in a way that we cannot specifically label them as male or female. And a lot of them are just forms of hermaphrodites that change according to what they need at the time.
A boy putting on a dress does not equate to how clownfish are largely "nonbinary". It is just a boy in a dress trying to claim that they are neither a boy or a girl.
Besides, non-binary is a gender. They assign gender labels to animals through a human society lense. Animals don't have genders. They only have bio sex and their instincts dictate how that sex should behave. Humans created the concept of gender and assigned it to people's sexes, we don't have instincts. And despite that societal pressure all of us are non-binary (by those clowns' own definition), no one on this planet is 100% feminine or masculine. Main character syndrome idiots think they're the only ones who's special and need a special gender trophy meanwhile everyone else is a NPC with gender programming.
Non binary people have existed for thousands of years. Not everyone is a boy or a girl. Sorry if that makes you mad but not everyone fits into a strict gender binary.
If you think gender is something that has to be biologically determined how do you feel about intersex people or trans people? You think human beings should be reduced down to a set of genitals or invisible chromosomes? I get what you are trying to say but it’s just false. By your logic non binary people still exist, because intersex people exist and they can be the only “true ones”. Non binary people existing shouldn’t make you mad. Sounds like sensationalism has gotten to you
People use animals as an example because the claim is that breaking the gender binary is unnatural, yet there are animals that do it. People can technically be born into non binary states if you remeber that intersex people exist.
Yea,
And makes u question their intelligence..
Honestly dude, why do you care about nonbinary gender identity? It doesn’t really involve you. Just respect the pronoun like you respect someone’s name. It can get weird, yeah, especially with neopronouns, but they’re the ones with the gender crisis
I'm sorry, who tf thinks this should be in schools!? This is so wrong, personally I read some explicit books but nothing like this should be in ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
I'm in a group for moms. One mom had a story of her nine year old boy coming home crying because he was hoping to be gay but doesn't think he is. His entire group of friends are part of the lgbtq+ community and now he was sad because he wouldn't belong. He is NINE!! What are the odds of an entire group of nine year olds at one school being in the lgbtq+ community?? Pretty slim... unless they are taught that they should be.
This world is effed up.
That’s absolutely heartbreaking 😞
That happens when you have educators celebrating the LGBTQ kids, while discouraging the straight kids. The straight kids (especially the white ones) need to learn about the LGBTQ kids, the straight kids are not like a rainbow, the straight kids are not special and have no flag, the straight kids don't get an entire month celebrating them, the straight kids will get in major trouble if they hurt the feelings of an LGBTQ kid, etc. They are drawing a clear good/evil line whether they realize it or not, and most children that age want to be good.
Vile
It's a social contagion. It's in schools, but they have access to p0rn 24/7 and social media through their devices. The transing of kids started on Tumblr. Now TikTok is the place where all the disturbing stuff is occurring. If I had kids, I'd block both sites, plus Reddit & Twitter, & take their devices away at bedtime & at other times.
20 years ago it was the opposite. None of this is ok.
The fact that CZcams can censor you video for showing the image in the books but the schools think it's appropriate
Some school boards even get mad at parents trying to read excerpts from those books at school board meetings because there are minors in the audience but those minors could read the books in the library.
He shows some small clips at the beginning of people reading parts of them at PTA and School Board meetings. What he didn't show is that at these same meetings the the board cuts people off and will kick them out for quote "making statements of an inappropriate nature".
That's an incomplete sentence. Did you just get distracted before finishing it? "The fact that..." - is what? Shocking? Disgusting? Infuriating? Hypocritical? Crazy?
The same happens with vegan content. We can't show you what happens in the slaughterhouse because it would offend you, but you pay to make it happen.
@@NiaLaLa_V people pay for food, not for animal cruelty. most people wouldn't support that if they knew. raising animals for food lovingly can be done.
berating others for their food choices isn't, and shouldn't happen. Humans' ideal diet is based on animal products, that's factual and undeniable. that's where the vegan movement loses respect
There was a book in my public library that was labeled tween and teens from age 12 to 18 and it was pure pornography from the cover to having a naked body part in every single page. A girl told her mom about it and she went to the library assistant’s and they told her she was exaggerating. Til this day they still have that book up in display.
I hate how careless some school libraries can be
The far left is revolting, no wonder I walked away 4 years ago
"It's perfectly normal." Exactly what child abusers say.

I was exposed to sex and sex acts at a very young age without school influence; I'm now an adult in therapy, 6 years now, fixing what I learned at a young age.
If kids are exposed to this on purpose in school, they don't stand a chance! 😢 I will never be ok with messing up kids on purpose!
in my country it is required by law to teach them. it doesn't matter if it is public school or private school.

This is kind of an off-topic question, if you dont mind me asking, but what courses should I take in college/university in order to become a teacher? It's a career I've had some interest in and I'm curious as to how it's achieved.
@@Josh-630It depends on the state you live in and their requirements for teachers. Contact your local colleges and ask about the course load to become an educator.
Sex education should always have been something handled by parents. Unfortunately, too many parents get to embarrassed about having that conversation with their own children. Sex education needs to be sent back to the parents. That way, if the parent wants to talk to their child about all the different sexualities, they can. If a parent only wants to cover straight or gay, done.
If kids get in trouble for accidentally reading a spicy fanfic on a school computer the question of housing such books shouldn’t even be up for debate
Make it make sense
*_|||"If kids get in trouble for accidentally reading a spicy fanfic on a school computer the question of housing such books shouldn’t even be up for debate"|||_*
And, yet: there still is the debate as to what alternatives for educating and informing kids on their bodies, safe sex, unrisky behavior would be if schools banned sex education videos and lectures in elementary and middle-school science classrooms.
Oh! But, I guess that didn't occur to those gay-community-criticizing LGBT folks on this comments page, now, did it?
After all, no one's complaining about it (anymore?), so perhaps it's not an issue. Right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you're fine with 5th grade sexually graphic sex ed videos with naked cartoons (and sometimes real-life persons) and middle-school science teachers discussing matters like pubic hair, "new scary feelings", and nocturnal emissions with their students, I'm not understanding why you would be joining with the same heterosexual loudmouths who may actually be anti-gay and homophobic.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My bottom line: There comes a point when those LGB and TQ individuals who sharply "hate on" the gay community for corruption, waning credibility or growing failure (and either think they're the first to do so; or, as a defensive response against *_that_* , that they're part of some silent majority) *_ought to realize and own up to their brown-nosing_* .
(For the record, I'm not surprise that some stubbornly myopic individual will respond me that I wrote an entire novel and said absolutely nothing. My follow-up: If you actually can't tell what my central point was, I'm not sure what I should do to help you get it.)

Thank you Amir! The best defense to the lazy and intentionally misleading articles from the media is for CZcamsrs to actually walk people through what's in the books! Thank you!

Any school board, administrator, faculty, and staff that knowingly allow such books into their schools should 100% be charged.
Teachers don’t think this is ok. Weren’t consulted on any of it before it was put in a school. Teachers DON’T choose what is taught to American children.
PARENTS choose curriculums.
PARENTS wanted this stuff in schools.
PARENTS create lawsuits when you don’t give them what they want on a silver platter-which is why this happening in the first place.
Take it up those PARENTS.
Clearly all of you aren’t on the same page, but blaming teachers not only isn’t the answer, but it’ll also get us no where. Why? Teachers have no power over parents and their kids…it’s been that way for decades.
Somewhat true, but when some states put into place laws that allow teachers to talk to kids about Transitioning without parent consent or knowledge, then teachers very much have more potential authority than parents. Plus, some of these books are absolutely read to children in class by their teachers without permission or consent. To claim the teachers are so innocent is dangerous and dumb.
@@stevereynolds5684
Completely true.
Teachers didn’t request permission to talk to kids about transitions. We don’t even like talking about séx ed. Why would we ask for that when we’re out here drawing straws for the class no one wants?
Parents in support of it demanded that teachers do this to other people’s kids, under the claim that it’s somehow ‘healthier’ for their mental state. Because those are the same parents who believe that other parents who don’t support the community is ‘abusing their child’s right to be/love who they want’.
This is how parents undermine each other. No more no less.
Again, we don’t pick the books we read in class. They’re chosen via curriculum. *And I never said teachers were innocent, so don’t put words in my mouth.*

100 percent agree with you. When I was in school this wouldn’t even be a discussion.
Theres a reason why we don't show Corn to kids as young as 10. I'm a prime example of the after effects.
At least I’m not the only one.
As a white, conservative, straight guy, I am and have always been OK with different people having different sexual orientations (sex, race, etc.). I also agree with you 100% that certain books (explicit) shouldn't be banned, however they should NOT be allowed in schools.
Exactly. Saying u know that some men love eachother and some woman love eachother is one thing,because it’s just a fact of life. Like talking abt how different people are different races. But that should be a conversation for like 4th 5th grade when they can even understand that. But these sexual things shouldn’t be in schools. Not only is it inappropriate but the gay kids that are in these classes who probably don’t even know there gay yet is being taught that being gay is just abt being sexual. Like when I was a kid I didn’t know I was gay I didn’t know what sex was but looking back I did just gravitate like in a weird way as a kid. Like when kids have a “crush” there obviously not thinking abt sex it’s just that they like them more u know. So telling all these gay kids who don’t fully even understand what relationships or romantic and sexual stuff is . This is gonna do a lot of harm to these kids mentality especially if they are gay and think that they are just objects because of these books that treat it like that. Like this actively will harm gay kids
how tf u gonna have a racial orientation
we do need gay books in schools, we just need them to be age appropriate. a lot of these books are written for young adults finding themselves. not for children. and sex education is important if its done so in a structured controlled lesson not random books in a library.
@@moon-pw1bi yeah but sexualizing gay people especially to children is awful as I said gay kids could think that’s all they are. When love is a lot more than sexual stuff.
@@moon-pw1bi I agree with u 100 tho the books aren’t even bad there just not meant for kids and I don’t understand how that’s controversial straight or gay I wouldn’t want any type of sex to be in books for kids.
My mother was the librarian at my high school. There were sex education books, but she would not lend them to the students under a certain age (They were for 16 and up). The books were also in a specific section and she would intervene if she saw younger kids giggling and messing around with them (there were like 12 books at most). She would have loved to keep those books in the back of the counter but the school wouldn't let her.
She's retired now and I'm scared her replacement isn't as thoughtful as she was.
That’s a really good system. A lot of the books these folks complain about, I have no problem with being in a high school, especially if it’s restricted to older grades. Reading about sex, even a very sexually explicit scene is not the same as watching porn. It’s not the same process in your brain. If kids want to READ about sex, let them read.
this is very ideal actually, sex ed is pretty important but only to the age group it applies to, and as long as the books are actually meant to be purely informative and not lewd. unfortunately people in charge lack common sense to make the right decisions.
@@mollygrace3068 Actually it IS the same process and actually a huge reason why Erotica is mostly populated and consumed by women at the same rates as video pornography is accessed by men. While the consumption is different based on gender due to males being more visually oriented because they are object oriented scientifically, the sexual arousal is the same.
So yes, reading erotica in a book is just as bad as letting a 16 year old boy rent porn from the library. It activates the same arousal response and can lead into a severe disassociation between reality and fantasy when it comes to sex if this is a teens first introduction to sex. In fact, for erotica the threat is more severe. At least in porn there are actual human beings on that screen doing the acts. At worst the actors overplay the pleasure of the acts and display positions or acts only to be done by professionals (BDSM, Kinks, flexible positions, etc). But erotica is entirely in the imagination of the reader. Like reading about Christian Gray chaining up Anastasia and hitting her with a crop can mean fake foam chains and a little tap or literal bondage and hitting to dig shit out of her. The level of extremes depends on the reader and only gets more and more extreme the more you read it. Next thing you know you have girls talking about having a choking kink or into blood play at the age of sweet 16. This is obviously not normal or healthy and is just as worrying as a 16 year old boy saying he has to jack off once a day because he developed a porn addiction and can't look at a girl's midriff without popping a boner.
Erotica should be for adult women, not accessible to young girls.
@@mollygrace3068yes I agree! I’d like to add, (and I don’t know about you-) but I had a lot of questions regarding my body, sex, and gender when I was 10 and 11- in middle school- which is the demographic these books target. So why not sex education in middle school? I mean, I already knew of these concepts, wouldn’t it be better if my perspective were shaped via reading and education rather than relying on peers, pornographic media, and all the misinformed people out there?
@@USER_S4V4NTyes agreed! To me 10+ seems appropriate to be educated in these matters. I’d even argue it’s safer.
NO FUCKING WAY THOSE ARE KIDS BOOKS
"We NEED to teach seven year-olds about rimming, it's perfectly normal."
No.
Thank you for addressing this. I myself am a member of the lgbtq community, and I agree that students should not have access to to these books. Some may argue that “they need to know this stuff” but ppl are forgetting about the health classes, and parents teachings the kids.
This. It’s a parents job to teach their child about sex and morality at the right age. Health class can teach about anatomy and std’s. Neither of those require pornographic books.
❤
I think what makes this more disturbing is that these were written/drawn by adults. (Some of the illustrations depict teens too) If any other group gave kids access to this stuff they'd be imprisoned. It's illegal to give kids explicit content. (I'm not talking anatomical books teaching teens about body changes)
I'm lesbian & I hate that "LGBTQ" moniker for a so-called "community" that doesn't even include most LGB or even T people anymore! I want nothing to do with anything beyond the LGB. Everything was fine until the self-identified TQ+ started using us to claim that allowing men in women's spaces & indoctrinating children & college students was a "human right" or "civil right". The TQ+ is a way to opt-in to an "oppressed" category! How convenient in a world where victimhood & claims of oppression are rewarded!
I'm older & I know how LGB people got our rights. We EARNED them. We didn't just demand things & bully people to affirm our every whim lest they lose their jobs or have the mob cancel them or be assaulted! We won hearts & minds by our character & by coming out when there was actual risk involved, not when everyone celebrated it! We won people's respect. My goal was to be integrated into the larger society where no one cared anymore about one's sexual orientation (or race), where everyone had the same rights. And WE GOT THERE! But the DEMANDS being made now by the TQ+ are not RIGHTS! They are seeking to deprive OTHER people of their rights (the safety & privacy of women & girls, freedom of speech, freedom of association, political & ideological diversity, etc)! That's a HUGE difference. I feel like these people used me as their Trojan Horse, so I cringe when I see "LGBTQ". Actual transexuals can have their own movement to build their own public spaces, services, sports leagues, etc., just as women did over the past CENTURY! Don't just steal all that hard won progress FROM women! The TQ+ are just hetero people who want to feel special & opt in to an "oppressed" group of people (who are not even actually oppressed!). The only time I will ever use those letters anymore is either by themselves or as part of "LGBTQ+WTF".
@@emilywenig4390Yeah, there's a female author who wrote a series about two gay boys called "HeartStopper" (Amir mentions her towards the end). Her writing something of this nature makes me think it's a fetish... seriously. If a grown man wrote about a young lesbian couple, wouldn't that seem off? Also, there are shows like "Elite" and "Young Royals" and "Euphoria" that depict teen promiscuity; even if the actors are 18+, that's sus.

You came out of that lifestyle good on you. May God bless you richly. I'm glad that you are free from that.
Y’all when I said LGBTQ+ books should be in schools, I didn’t mean these ones. Take these out of schools.
I believe that certain topics should be presented to children not just on the basis of their age but their actual maturity and rediness to address a topic. Their family should be the most in tune to what is appropriate discussion. Also, relationships are hard. Sex is a part and only a part of that. No book or books are sufficient. It should be part of an ongoing comversation. If a child loses a grand parent, you dont throw a book at them and leave it at that. Raising children is the hard stuff.
I remember when I was about 17 years old, and in the Helsinki library I found a number of LGBT books. I got curious and started reading. It wasn't about sexual things or how your genitals should work, but about different relationships, struggles, different families and feelings, and it's okay to be different from others, etc.
There is almost no mention of any physical stuff, because children were told about it in sex education classes.
So true! It's so sad that oversexualization of media is overshadowing the more important and deeper aspects of the LGBT community.
LGBT book shouldn’t be in school systems though, it is up to the parents. It’s like putting religious books I s schools without parents’ consent. That’s a relationship that should be had at home. As a Christian I don’t think teacher should read Bibles if the parents aren’t fine with it, same with lgbt books.
Good for Helsinki. In American sex ed in the 2000's, we learned "Some people are attracted to the same sex and those are called homosexuals." And, "Homosexual men are the most likely to contract HIV." That was it.Their only advise was be abstinent or get married, and the gay people couldn't get married.
@@Cowabanga.Broshaka that's stupid. We know that gays scientifically exist, but there's no proof of god existing. Being gay isn't a choice and children need to know that, being religious is a choice.
The my Shadow is purple book is really effective for debating the "don't put me in a box, I don't fit into pink or blue" because they are the ones limiting themselves and creating these boxes that they don't want to be put it. The book should be about finding a personality and interests rather than focusing on gender. Gender is not a replacement for a personality and an actual identity. If nothing matters and you're free then why do these labels matter so much to them.
i couldnt have said it better myself, these days gender is a replacement for a personality or interests and hobbies instead of a very small and mostly inconsequential part of yourself
Exactly, and the book is full of stereotypes
" its a hole what did you expect " that part killed me
I appreciate that you seem to be in the center. I feel like mixure of both sides is usually the best outcome.
I am for restricting books. I had to read The Handmaiden's Tale in HS when it came out...and as a child who was a victim of SA when she was 6yrs old, I ended up puking all over my desk and my poor teacher because it instantly brought that back and I went full panic mode to the point they had to call my Dad from OVERSEAS to get me to calm doen because I couldnt stop crying and panicing after being triggered. Please for the love of fucking god do not give the kids graphic sexual content books to read. Not only is it inappropraite, Im a good 90% Im not the only child who remembered they were assulted thanks to reading class with these kinds of books.(GRANTED, my case is a very specific one as a victim of csa, but the dark reality is that im not the only one.

Cool rizz line to a u-tuber
*_|||"amir may not be pregnant, but he never fails to deliver"|||_*
Yes, he does indeed fail not to deliver his points.
He's prejudicial towards a community made up of people who share his sexual orientation, and he tends not to be completely honest in his assessment; either because he needs to feel like he is accepted into mainstream society, or because he think's he's invented a new clever way of grabbing attention; even negative attention.
In all of his videos, he has yet to address heterosexual people long doing the exact same things that he's criticizing his fellow modern gays for doing.
Example 1: A little girl dancing "suggestively" during a public showcase and parents tipping her "as if she was some stripper in a bar" is, according to Amir, just one example of the failing, now-obscene LGBT community. (My commentary: Had it not occurred to him that the girl doesn't actually do anything beyond *_pg-13_* (!) dancing, and that "tipping" her could just be a part of the family fun? Does he mean to say that kids haven't ever emulated their favorite non-PG-friendly celebrities they see on TV, which has never been g-rated, and showcase it in school night talent shows?)
Example 2: A "fabulous" glimmering trans-woman cartoon in BluesClues is just one instance of how trans community is "pushing their agenda" on little innocent kids. (My commentary: We see here a cartoon of a woman in Hollywood-style glamour clothes, singing about PG-rated LGBT subjects. That's about it. *_No sexual discussion whatsoever_* . I suppose Amir isn't so sure why this would even be much of an issue, so he had to un-integrously attempt to resonate it with R-rated excerpts of leather-puppy-dog spanking and women who weren't wearing much of anything amid a crowd containing a few kids.)
I hope the algorithm blesses you soon man. It’s refreshing listening to someone completely different from myself and finding common ground on principle.
Yeah people just really don’t get that teaching kids about sexuality should be reserved for when they should be thinking about sex. Because there’s more to you than just your sexual identity
Well when is it when “they should be thinking about sex” what magical arbitrary number are we going to pick? Kids start ouberty around 11-12 ish, and it’s only becoming younger as modern science shows. I agree a lot of these books are innapropriate for young children, but when is it supposed to be determined it’s suddenly okay for them to see these things? Kids already know about this stuff. They see it in movies. In music. You see it on National Geographic. Bubble wrapping children isn’t the solution either. Knowing how sex works should be 100% mandatory at puberty age. For learning how to prevent pregnancy, STDs, and even anal sex because some kids are gay and knowing how to do things safely should be common knowledge. (Not even only gays do it) kids can’t go there whole childhood being bubble wrapped then expected to be well adjusted adults at 18.
@@Twink6629-lg3te Of course and I won't say some of these books aren't educational. I haven't read any so I wouldn't really be able to mark when they should be available to teens but it should be teens and not kids. Also, sex only became more prominent in younger generations when gender identities and associating sexuality for individual identities started to become more popular in common and social media. Lot of factors at play here honestly, but I do agree with the fact that if it is more common in younger generations then it needs to be either educated about how to be safe or just double down on snipping it in the bud.
When it comes to books I've noticed a couple of things;
1) People associate banning books, any books, with fascism.
2) They assume that if something is in a book it must be true.
A few months ago I was talking to a friends girlfriend about oppression, race and all that. She had recently graduated in sociology. She was talking about how there is a hierarchy of oppression. According to some books and courses she had oppression was not only based on race but also on gender, disability, culture and other factors. Her point was basically that society should acknowledge and do more for people based on their place in this hierarchy.
In her mind, because it was in a book, written by some professor it was as much a fact as a physics book. To me, the social sciences are not hard sciences. It's not the STEM fields and much of it is opinions, subjective interpretation of data, and ideology. I think it's strange that someone wrote a book ranking various groups of people on oppression and it is thought in college and on top of that it's considered a fact.
Omg I hate to say it, but you're 100% right! People read something or see it on TV and they really do think it's true!
So true. When I was in university we were told to independently verify informative in books not to take everything as fact. Now Wikipedia is taken as fact.

Amir, it is so important to have people from the community speak out against this. No one wants to ban books (except the left, see censoring of Dahl and Fleming), but we do want to ban books from being available in schools based on sexually explicit material.

@@QueSeraSeraaaa Thank you very much. I have a (rather “hors-sujet) question to ask you. Do you believe in the Brigitte Macron allegations or do you think it’s just conspiracy? I’m trying my hardest not to believe this
Many of these people are not growing up with age appropriate material so they think it's okay to push material thst is not age appropriate as well. The age always goes lower with exposer in kids. So it had to be raised again fast. It's always a slippery slope so the slope has to be kept in check.
What the actual f**k?? That should be in an adult store.. not a schools library!!
It's like they're trying to give children "The Talk" but instead of just having a conversation about it, you just show it's explicit stuff and shit.
As a Christian, it doesn't at all bother me if you are gay, bisexual, whatever. It is not my business to judge how you feel or how you live your life. The moment you start trying to inject ideas of sex to children at an age where it shouldnt even be a thought is where the line gets drawn. If I am ever so lucky to have kids when I am older, I will do everything in my power to ensure I am the one to give the talk when the time is right!
And people act like it's unreasonable that my baby brother is going to be homeschooled.
Would your parents have decided to homeschool your little bro because elementary school teachers teach about sex ed in the classroom, showing videos about their body's male and female development as a requirement in curriculum? Heh. After all, they've.... done this since the age of the dinosaurs.
Why weren't *_you_* homeschooled, on this same note?
Books should not be banned, to adults.
But kids, in grade schools, that deserves moderation.
And to be clear, I 100% support sex ed. But there are right ways and wrong ways, and in some ways, depending on age, you really only need to teach consent (early on), and that doesn't even require using sex as a subject - because consent goes beyond sex.
Enjoyed this fair and balanced look at these "banned" (not actually banned) books.
The simple fact that the content of these books can't be shown or read aloud on TV without being censored, speaks directly to the inappropriateness of them for children.
You cant show the contents of the damn books on CZcams ffs. There is absolutely 0 excuse why children have acess to these books.
8:24 the author of the book said that it isn’t about being nonbinary, he wrote it for his son, who got made fun of for wearing dresses and “girly things”. It’s about being yourself, regardless of what sex you were given at birth.
really good videos u are releasing, bringing all these horrific things to the public things and expressing ur own opinion, really good and entertaining!
When I was younger, I had a puberty book that my mom bought me from the american Girl Doll. Which showed girls having their period and how it effected them emotionally, socially, biologically, and what acne is. It went over how your breast grow in and sometimes your friends will make fun of you for having breasts, but there's nothing wrong with you. It taught how girls are just growing and you will grow hair in certain places that doesn't mean you're not normal. It even showed in the book how most girls feel insecure about puberty. It was a great book it didn't have any explicit stuff like these books have. It mainly talked about what girls go through and how the world changes when you change, which this book prepared me mentally for what I was in for when I was 10.
I got a book teaching kids how to masturbate, unlimited acces to the internet taught me that this was bad, If I didn't have Internet I would be a degenerate, some of my friends are degenerates now, these books are evil.
My mom gave me that same exact book! I loved it as a kid because I didn't want to ask questions about that kind of development since I was rather shy in general. It made me realize that everyone is different. I think that book "The Care and Keeping of You" is really considerate and comforting to girls and isn't inappropriate.
I had a similar book in school. It was a government issued book, and it was called lifestyle education. It discussed personal hygiene and STDs also. But nothing graphic.
For kids to "understand" their body??? Very predatory and disgusting!! This is outrageous
That kinda sounds like what Uncle Willie who has 5 children in his basement would say. (P.S., not talking about your comment, I'm talking about the "For kids to understand their body" part).
@@MapBotTheElsagateKiller Totally agree
Like middle schoolers might actually do this shit💀 what is wrong with the american government
Definitely gotta get ground news. Makes me anxious not knowing what’s going on, but trying to decipher who’s agenda is whose and unraveling truth from fiction.
I really appreciate your perspective on all these very sensitive topics and your honest opinion and willingness to look at all sides of these stories means a lot
In Sweden it's illegal to possess even drawn pictures of children depicted in a seggsual manner. It's seen by the court as child corn. I'm not even sure this would be legal in Sweden 😂
As it should be. Damn... we have got to fix America. It's a hot stanking mess.
*Japan has nuked Sweden*
Looks like Weebs got screwed
If "my shadow is purple" ended with the boy going to the dance with his combo outfit and his classmates making him feel accepted as much as his parents do, and it ends there, that is an acceptance story. The end that it has is absolutely indoctrination.
You got a sub for me. Keep doing this! Good luck and bless you! 🍀
As a Christian it is disgusting that adults are teaching young kids how to masturbate. I am against sexual acts before marriage and I’m against many sexual acts even after marriage. To teach kids how to do that, KIDS, and how to have sex with your same gender is disgusting, especially for children and teenagers… how am I supposed to act knowing my kids might be exposed to this at a young age because of a book their teacher might have? Teachers and school systems need to back off of our children, they’re not yours, you’re simply there to teach them the basic core subjects and take care of them.
curious, if you had a child who was gay or masturbated, would you disown them/punish them over it
@@engiturtle65yes
I learned in school, way in the 2000s, about the biology of male and female body parts, puberty, and how a baby is formed. We learned nothing about sex, how to have it, or even positions???? If we had questions, the teachers told us to ask our parents. And we started learning this at 11. We had these textbooks called Fully Alive.
I remember when I was 12 and I wanted to take out the first season of the anime Bleach from my public library. They couldn't ring it through - it was 13+. In the same stack, I had a copy of Junji Ito's Gyo, a comic book full of mutilated naked corpses. There were no problems with it. Later that year I borrowed American Psycho from my school's library, in which I read about a rat getting shoved inside and eating it's way out of a woman's vagina. I gained nothing out of reading either - capitalist business world social satire is lost on a 13 year old. This doesn't need to be an LGBT or whatever issue. Just because it is a book, doesn't mean it is a sacred thing meant for everyone to access whenever. If you think so, you clearly haven't read enough.
I’m sorry that you couldn’t Check bleach out that’s series is amazing
@@StrawberieAmelie well, I'm sure they've seen it since then 🤗
@@ennuiblue4295 was talking about the manga since they can get pricey and all
I watched it on some website that afternoon haha. Read the manga too, so happy ending @@StrawberieAmelie
Amir, you're awesome! Congrats on your 1 yr YT anniversary!
A relative actually bought a few of those books. While some of them were very educating and would be amazing to have for that education, I found that the one marketed towards 3-5 year olds should be more for 8 year olds, the one marketed towards 10 year olds should only be read by 13 and up. 9 and 10 year olds do not need to know those things.
Calling this a "book ban" is like calling R rated movies a "movie ban".
What did your comment even mean
@@divvy5310 ..... it's really not that difficult to grasp unless you're being willfully ignorant.
Keeping material out of the hands of children that they shouldn't see it isn't a "ban". That's hyperbolic nonsense meant to conflate two things and make it sound like people trying to put sexually explicit material in the hands of minors are somehow the heroes. They aren't.
@@01gharms I asked a question and you were being smart ass about it. Therefore you will get the same treatment.
People not understanding your comments doesn’t mean they are ignorant, ignorant is someone who is purposefully ignoring something for their own benefit. Anyways thanks for answering, you didn’t answer it politely but you answered it. Hope you snap out of your hateful attitude soon
@@divvy5310 lol I see, so when you realized you were too stupid to get a basic idea, you become outraged that I pointed it out.
Lol the person reading these comments to you must be exhausted.
@@divvy5310 Are you 10? I can't imagine an adult not understanding such a clear cut analogy even without his follow-up explanation
I agree! The books that can range from confusing children with the concept of non binary to introducing smut should never be allowed in schools. I don’t have to be a parent to say that 50 Shades of Grey and all of the books from GM Fairy are never even allowed in schools
They teach NB in schools? When are we getting the flat earth class in schools! (both are just as valid from a scientific standpoint)
I liked dinosaurs ,hated dresses. Glad someone did not say you are non binary
Thank you for buying these so we can get better context on this issue. You’re doing sky daddy’s work.
