A policy that turns your neighbors into German Stassi era informants reporting
on their child's school librarian just went into effect in Louisiana.
Thanks to their attorney general being a sore loser.
On Tuesday, the attorney general of Louisiana launched an online form
encouraging residents of the state to report librarians who they suspect
of stocking sexually explicit books.
Talk of being Orwellian or anything else.
They might object to being seen by their kids who they suspect of stocking books,
not even with proof.
I said that librarian looks a little shifty to me, report them,
ruin their lives.
This comes after a failed investigation by said Attorney General,
Jeff Landry, where he aimed at library books
he thinks are corrupting kids with no research to back it.
The investigation hasn't turned up any legal material, but rather than admit
defeat, Landry is pandering to conservative parent's worst nightmares.
Of course he is, by soliciting tips from the public to unveil what he describes
as the taxpayer subsidized sexualization of children.
The form also allows members of the public to snitch on teachers, school board
members, district superintendents and library supervisors as well.
Like it's not hard enough being an educator these days,
let's make it more challenging and
try to root them out of the important service they're giving to our kids.
A patron's website explains how he's fearmongering,
librarians and teachers are neither empowering nor liberating our children.
By connecting them with books that contain extremely graphic sexual
content that is far from age appropriate for
young audiences reads a page on Landry's website titled protect minors.
Louisiana, of course, is just the latest in a long list of Republican psychos that
are making up problems out of thin air and then making it the only thing they talked
about, they don't want to fix real problems.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has instructed the public to report parents with
trans-children as child abusers.
He's also directed Texans to email him personally with tips on school librarians.
Are they confusing real librarians with librarians and porn movies?
They are the sexually explicit ones.
Leave the regular librarians alone.
Glen Duncan has also introduced a critical race theory, tip line librarians
are trying to fight back against this insanity while being very quiet.
Some librarians say they're flooding the form with accolades for
librarians and teachers and report their harassers to the state.
>> Yeah. Look,
the Republican Party has lost its spine.
Let's be clear about it.
Now they've got a war on librarians like librarians
are the real problem because not bankers, by the way.
The bankers are protected by Republicans,
not corporate executives that have been robbing us blind for all these years.
And legally bribing politicians and getting them to do whatever they want,
not the oil companies, not the richest people in the world,
not the most powerful people in the world.
No, it's the goddamn librarians.
Really you right, when schmucks?
You believe that the real problem is the librarians and
Landry didn't does an investigation and turns out he was totally wrong.
None of the books that he thought was in the library were in the library.
But undeterred because he doesn't care about facts.
He's trying to do propaganda.
He's not just trying to get you to hate other people in this case LGBTQ people and
then when they talk about critical race theory, that's a graduate level class.
It's not in the school library is not in the school textbooks.
No, they're just saying, yeah we don't like teaching racism, do we?
I mean come on we're here in Louisiana,
we don't want people to find out our ancestors were racist.
Let's just stop teaching and let's just stop teaching.
So the fact that he's not backed up by evidence is he relevant to him?
Because he was doing propaganda in the first place.
It's not like he was actually trying to find inappropriate books in the library.
He knew they didn't exist.
And the other thing with these guys, this is always projection guys always
protection when he says let's protect the miners.
That means in his head it's constantly running through
everybody wants to have sex with minors.
Gee I wonder why Landry is thinking that we just told you look we've done this
week alone.
How many stories like half a dozen stories?
The one we did yesterday.
One of the Q and on leaders.
Okay made so much money bought a $1.7 million house from all the money
he collected from Q and on follow, right turns out slept with a 15 year old.
Of course whenever they call anybody a groomer,
they're very likely to be groomers.
And by the way he groomed her when he was a coach in the school and
she was a 15 year old girl in the school.
So these perverts, these pedophiles, these groomers that are right wingers,
then go, I bet it's the librarians.
Yeah, I bet it's the librarians and
right wing schmucks all across the country like yeah, it's probably the librarians.
And of course the teachers, leave the bankers alone.
The real problem is the teachers.
Let's go attack them.
>> Librarians aren't sexualized anybody that didn't let you talk out loud.
They don't even do anything.
>> Listen, you hit the nail on the head.
This is not about facts at all.
You know who don't know what's in the library?
People who don't go to the library.
Republicans [LAUGH] Clearly don't go to the library,
this is the strangest story.
I can't even wrap my head around how we got here.
How did we get here?
But keep in mind, these are the same group of people or
his audience is the same group of people who didn't wanna defund the police until
they wanted to defund the police.
These are the same people who fly an American flag beside a confederate flag
and also storm the capitol and
try to take over democracy because they don't like what happened at the election.
Therefore. >> Along side the Trump flag too.
>> Don't forget the Trump flag which is the American flag to them.
You should know that their definition of old glorious Trump's first
campaign flag, not the stars.
[LAUGH] So and listen.
But let's check this out.
Here's the irony of all of this.
The most underpaid people are being criticized for being elite woke
groomers by a party that supports the shenanigans of Donald Trump.
The extravagant lifestyle of Donald Trump's kids charging our
secret service that we're protecting them to use the bathroom
at their neighbor's house in Georgetown Washington DC.
I am completely whenever I hear republicans talk now,
it's literally Charlie Brown BS to me, there's no facts in it.
It's all about how do I get the most money from these poor white people?
I heard a story about these librarians.
This one guy gave up his son's college fund to help
fight Louisiana's attorney general's case.
He donated so much money that his kids college is in jeopardy.
College education in jeopardy because he believed it so much.
I'm at a loss.
I need this level of trickery for my nonprofit so
that we can fund black male voter project.
Maybe we should say everybody that works at Starbucks
is over roasting beans in an effort to cover up their weed smell.
[LAUGH] Yeah, and Charlie Brown is a good analogy there because when they speak it
is like the teacher.
But also every time they go to collect on the promises of these Republican leaders
it's like Lucy pulling the football away.
They never see it ever.
>> Yeah, what's the only thing Trump did passed the $2 trillion tax cut for
the rich for the rich, right?
And by the way black male voter project,
great project by Mondale will put the link down below make
sure you check it out in the description box last two things on this.
Where'd it come from Mondale as well?
I'll tell you where it came from.
Southern strategy, the Republicans have been running that since the 1960s.
And what is that?
It's an avowedly racist strategy to pick up the racist voters in the south that
the democrats left behind when they did the civil rights act and
the voting rights act.
And it was a strategy by Nixon everybody knows it.
RNC has apologized for it a couple of times but they're still doing it.
So that's the attack on critical race three comes from the history of
racism in the Republican party that dates back to that strategy.
Where did the hatred against the LGBTQ folks come from?
It didn't come from Trump.
It came from a long line of hatred against gay people from the Republican Party
including 2004 when they put ballot measures in all this states against gay
marriage.
So that it would drive hateful people to the polls so that they would vote for
George Bush over John Kerry.
So the Republican Party has been doing this hate for a long long time.
And why do they target teachers because the teachers unions give to
the Democratic Party.
So they wanna make sure they cut off that source of funding for
the Democratic Party.
So they're tearing the teacher apart as part of a political attack against
democrats.
That's what this is all about.
It has nothing to do with protecting children or
any of the things that they're saying it's all political to try to help Republicans.
And of course their donors who are the corporate executives in the bankers that
actually run this country.
And then finally look, when I was growing up there was a stereotype that
liberals are nice but the Republicans are the smart party, right.
They know what they're doing.
The liberals are well meaning but they don't have it figured out right.
That was a long time ago.
Now the Republicans are mean everybody knows they're
the party filled with jerks and rude and hate and all of that.
Plus they're now also known rightfully as the idiots,
the idiots that are looking to blame the librarians for our problems.
So what's left in the Republican Party?
I can't believe anybody can still call themselves a Republican and
not be humiliated.
>> And because they're such echo chamber idiots,
it's never isolated incidents either.
Always spreads these exact issues right through.
So it's not just Louisiana.
Also in Tennessee, the current attorney general, when running for
office last summer flirted with the idea of prosecuting librarians for
what is on their shelves.
These things just metastasize every time.
>> A 100%.
>> Really crazy.
