And I knew you wouldn't be able to back up your allegations about "perverted" books.
And yet, I did...and you couldn't be bothered even to go and look. You said so, yourself.
You said: " We're talking about the "educators," particularly in Florida, who have been grooming children in public schools with perverted books", those were your words, and all I am asking is that you take responsibility for them. In order to be able to make such a claim about books, you surely know which books you are referring to, and exactly what they contain, so I don't understand why you will not name them. What's the problem?

How do I know?
Who else would? They're your criteria.
What criteria? I never said I had criteria for determining what is suitable for children to read.
But I get why you won't answer. It's very simple: we're not arguing over the principle of choosing some books to be age appropriate and some not.
That is actually correct; we are not arguing about that. This is solely about a claim that you made concerning certain books, and nothing more. I find it hard to believe that school authorities would knowingly make books that deserve to be described as "perverted" accessible to the children in their care, and that is why I have been asking you for information that would enable me to establish the truth of the matter. The truth, or otherwise, of your claim is my only interest here.
Because even a pedophile groomer knows that some are, and some are not...which is why he so often does his work behind the scenes, if he can, and does not let parents and normal adults know what he's trying to do.
You forgot to make reference to "the Left"; it's not like you to miss an opportunity.
All you and I are questioning is which sorts of materials should be allowed to children. At least I have criteria for deciding that; you want me to think you have none...and aren't troubled by it?
I don't want you to think anything, and I am not questioning which sorts of materials should be allowed to children, I am questioning a specific comment you made about "perverted" books.
