Conservative-dominated court restores books denounced by officials as ‘pornographic filth’ to school libraries
An appellate court has ruled that Texas cannot ban books from libraries simply because they mention “butt and fart” and other content which some state officials may dislike.
The fifth US circuit court of appeals issued its decision on Thursday in a 76-page majority opinion, which was written by Judge Jacques Wiener Jr and opened with a quote from American poet Walt Whitman: “The dirtiest book in all the world is the expurgated book.”
In its decision, the appellate court declared that “government actors may not remove books from a public library with the intent to deprive patrons of access to ideas with which they disagree”.

Didn’t Trump fart all the time while in court? I’d expect them to love farts and huff them all the time. Their lord and savior deemed it good enough for his behind, so it shall be good enough for their noses. It was his political statement, banning farts from books is political motivated terrorism or something like that, I don’t know. I’m not insane enough to understand their intentions.
which was written by Judge Jacques Wiener Jr
Heh heh
Poetry in motion
Imagine having to write 76 pages in response to this bullshit
The primary opinion is only 27 pages. The rest is a three page concurrence a 46 page dissent by Duncan.
To be fair, he didn’t have to make it that long.
On the other hand, we wouldn’t have gotten this:
• Seven “butt and fart” books, with titles like I Broke My Butt! and Larry the Farting Leprechaun;
for extra effect, I recommend reading through the opinion first before imagining. The high quality of the writing really accentuates the ludicrous degree of clown shit on display from the GOP.
Anyone else thinking that this Judge would have gotten his autobiography banned for profanity just for the name?
And these old farts are complaining about how “soft” today’s youth are? They really need to get their heads out of their butts.
And also tout freedom of speech.
They gonna come for your post next.
And when bullshit like this gets passed and they get in trouble, they automatically assume it’s the left lol
Get fucked fascists. Exactly never are the ones banning/burning books on the right side of history.
Take that you butt-hurt fart knockers.
Sounds like they’re the ones in need of new butts.
Every child between the ages of 2 and 10 would find a book with nothing but the words ‘butt’ and ‘fart’ endlessly amusing.
The Bible describes God showing Moses his ‘backside’, which a number of actual scholars interpret as including his butt.
Not sure about farts in the Bible, but there’s stories about rape, incest, at one point a description of men with ‘emission like donkeys’, ie, huge cum loads from big dicks.
They seem to never learn that if you try to ban ‘pornographic’ text, you’ll have to ban the Bible as well.
That’s one angle though isn’t it, so then they can claim religious persecution?
Nuh uh. I swored on the bi-bull three times. That ain’t in there. I never heard my preacher say that and all he ever talked about was the bi-bull.
Apparently terms that anyone over 12 years old doesn’t find funny anymore count as “adult”.
Is this conservatives admitting that they are all just immature children?
Butts make funny noises when you pass gas. Babies laugh at it. They have no idea what’s going on at all 95% of the time, but they get that farts are funny.
Awesome. Time to check out “The Poop That Took a Pee.”
Is this a form of gaslighting?
And in 5 years they’ll all be wearing “Make Butt Fart Again” hats.
I want that hat. It should be brown.
I haven’t farted in like twenty years. You have no idea how much you start to miss it.
Jesus, I am propelled everywhere I go by farts. Makes the kids laugh so I guess I’ll be alright.
Now I want nothing more than to parade around in front of a bunch of conservatives in a “Make Butt Fart Again” hat
