I once took the Freedom From Religion Foundation's online test of my 'Bible Knowledge' and got a great score. They asked a lot of question's about smut in the bible and I knew the answer to every one. Every. Single. One. Because when a young man has bible study foisted upon him in his youth he naturally tends to read and reread the parts where all the action is!
BTW- they surprised me with questions about what Jesus himself thought about slavery. He may have been cool about Love, Peace and Understanding but he was decidedly retro about human slavery.
BTW #2- They congratulated people who took and flunked their test; those people had been spared personal damage. For me, with a high score of correct answers, they sent along their sympathy and well wishes hoping that I get well soon.
While I agree, I wasn’t suggesting that the demagogues are genuinely afraid of the former. Instead, they’re targeting parents who don’t know shit about sexuality. The goal of the demagoguery is exactly what you describe - marginalization and persecution of people are “different.”

We're going to have to start some kind of underground bookmobile for the slave-to-television states.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?

Is it possible that the stupider something is, the better it plays for the profoundly stupid?
Libraries are lib-tard strongholds where people can learn things! Bad for the GQP.
