I actually enjoyed my college psych 101 class. I enjoyed Fromm, Rollo May, Frankl, Carl Jung. I believe there is a science to psychology, the same as there is a science to anthropology and sociology, as long it's in the right hands.

These damn groomer librarians always causing trouble... Kinda sad that all the sleepy-heads are so afraid of people reading books and getting "ideas". I'm sure the folks here that don't think LGBTQ people are a target will simply ignore this and next week ask "what are you talking about?" when we once again point out all the hate that republicans are spewing at LGBTQ folks. Meanwhile the rest of us will understand quite clearly that your votes for these assholes supports the hate.

I rather fancied Carl Jung and his rather metaphysical approach. Otherwise, meh.

Oh God, drag queen story hour. It’s so over.Originally Posted by jp1
But I am just a hater.
Apparently it isn't over to republicans. And in this case it's not even drag queen story hour it's LGBTQ books that are oogy boogy scary to republican shitbags. but yeah, give up since you're a retired old lady who just doesn't give a shit about anyone else any more...
How graphic are the graphic novels mentioned in your linked story? Does it matter to you?
Also, what is the purpose of drag queen story hour? Is there a goal associated with it?

I found this article really chilling. This is a mother and grandmother who is receiving threats to her physical safety from these townspeople. I think that is enough to warrant her protection. This has nothing to do with "drag queen story hour." Who gives a s%%t about drag queen story hour. That is not what this article is talking about, and this whole minimizing of the violence that is out there now against regular people such as the women election workers in the Jan 6 hearings--why are people minimizing this and refusing to listen to what is going on with this kind of violent right wing rhetoric against our fellow citizens?
If that is happening, it's undoubtedly a reaction to something, I'm just wondering what that something could be. These stories always seem long on narrative and short on details.

You are right, it would be good to know how this situation started. Jackson Township is where the prison is. We used to drive through it on the way to Toledo and points east. It can be a rough town, but there is a lot there economically; it's kind of a cachement shopping etc area for a lot of rural Michigan. Unless I have the wrong Jackson? Because I don't think of that as western Michigan.
I am VERY concerned when public libraries are strong armed to get rid of reasonable works of any political,and societal stripe, and yes that includes graphic novels. This is just plain wrong.
No one is forced to read anything from a public library, these are not school class assignments we are talking about here. I doubt the material in question in this Patmos Library is extreme, it is just that so many parents don’t know what material is out there now in the mainstream publishing world. It is fine if any one parent says “my kid isn’t going to read that!” that is his right.
But when I drill down into the Patmos situation, it looks to me like this is a tiny independent library that is not part of a system. It is on its own for funding and that is a always a teetering, nearly unsustainable position. A $300,000 budget is… Not much. I don’t understand why all of a sudden the Patmos citizens have been asked to come up with tax support for this library but there’s some thing that doesn’t quite make sense to me in the whole story. Maybe Patmos is required to periodically reaffirm their tax support and that’s what this failed election is about?
