MSNBC host Joy Reid debated Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice over a movement in which parents pressure school libraries to remove books containing sexually explicit content.
Last week, Reid argued against removing the book âAll Boys Arenât Blueâ from schools.
âWhat is the expertise that you have and other Moms for Liberty advocates have to decide that a book, an award-winning book like âAll Boys Arenât Blue,â isnât appropriate for students read?â Reid asked Justice.
Justice had an answer.
âWhat a tragic story of a young man who is anally raped by his adult family members. So you have incest, rape, pedophilia,â Justice responded.
âIn what context is a strap-on dildo acceptable for public school? Thatâs my question to you.â
Reid did not answer the question.
We donât blame her.
Explaining why a book replete with abusive and sexually explicit material should remain in a school is never an easy argument to make â even though that was an argument of which Reid was in favor.
But it was the response from Reidâs social media team that drew our attention.
The official âReidOutâ account on X censored the phrase âstrap-on dildo,â writing âXXXXX-XX-XXXXXâ while it promoted the segment.
Translation: Reidâs team believes the phrase â âstrap-on dildoâ â is not appropriate for social media, but appropriate for minors in school to consume.
âIf Joy Reid isnât comfortable writing âstrap-on dildoâ on X, why does she demand that it be made available to children in public schools?â activist Christopher Rufo joked.
Later, Reid argues the point that âeach parent has to decide what is appropriate for their child.â
âSo I want you to answer⌠what is your right to tell a parent who wants their child to⌠feel seen by this story? Why donât they have the right as a parent to say, âMy child can have access to this?ââ
Fair.
If a parent wants to allow their child to access such material on their own time, fine. However, it is not a schoolâs place to present students with graphic sexual content.
At any other point in history, such a statement wouldâve been common sense. Kids donât go to school to be sexualized by the library.
Yet this isnât any other time in history. Our culture is fractured. And ghouls like Joy Reid willfully contribute to our decline.
Though declaring a winner of a debate on cable news is inherently subjective, we feel comfortable in saying Reid came out as the loser here.
Anytime you argue in favor of books about strap-on dildos appearing in public schools, you lose the argument.
