Another way their shoving their beliefs down our throats. I'm fine with LGBT people, but I hate it when they force their ideas upon everyone and call people bigots when they don't agree. So anyways, here's the story.
The book is called Red. It is about a blue crayon trapped in a red crayon wrapper. Everyone tries to get the crayon to be red. It can't because, "that's not who it is." In the end, it finds a green crayon trapped in a purple crayon wrapper.
That's basically the entire story. Way to shove the transgender agenda into kid's minds. How subtle. At least all the stories weren't like that.

Why does everything have to be about sexual identity with you people why can't it be a book about acceptance without it having an "agenda"

3 RepliesGive kids some damn credit, man. They're not going to read a book and suddenly become transgender overnight. There's no "agenda" other than teaching acceptance.

5 RepliesEdited by tjustie: 3/8/2016 9:49:02 PMA children's book that has themes focusing on believing in yourself, overcoming the expectations of others, the golden rule, and tolerance?! This is an outrage! Even if the author's main purpose was to create a metaphor for transgenderism specifically, who the hell cares? It's done in a subtle enough way that multiple positive messages can be pulled from the story, not just transgenderism, and realistically, no little kid is going to make the connection between crayons and transgenderism on their own. I'm not sure what exactly it is you're afraid of. Kids growing up more tolerant? Additionally, the book isn't being forced on anybody. Nobody is shoving any beliefs down anyone's throats. You're ranting about a problem that doesn't exist.

5 Replies"Book about someone who's transgender makes kids transgender" everyone agrees. "Videogames like GTA or Just Cause makes kids commit massmurder" everyone disagrees. See the logic?

5 Replies>a book about crayons being put into the wrong wrapper by some dipshit at the factory is about transgenderism no its just about a dipshit who put the wrong wrapper on and was fired because of it

So because a book is about being yourself, it automatically means it's about the the scary, scary "transgender agenda"! Oh mah lawd! If it is about the "transgender agenda", I have to ask, why is this a bad thing? Teaching children to be accepting of others is never a bad thing.

7 RepliesBecause this [i]obviously[/i] only applies to the LGBT movement. The book is about being yourself regardless of what others want you to be. There are many other ways to look at that book other than "oh meh gerd gey propogernda"

7 RepliesI think it's less about a hidden sexual agenda, and more about being yourself/don't let other people decide who you are. Which I think is a story we all can get behind.

Moral of the story, Michael Hall is gay and needs to be fired and killed for putting stupid ideas in children's heads. Simple as that

Feeling threatened, I see? It's kind of pathetic that stories about being yourself in a completely nonsexual way are now "propaganda".
-
1 ReplyLol. Well at least it's not a story of the other crayons ostracizing the crayon to the point of suicide. Teaching the kids to be accepting isn't necessarily a bad thing.

5 RepliesHow is that solely about transgender? That could be about anything. "I was born Jewish and everyone wants me to be but I dont believe it." "I was taught that women shouldn't have equal rights by everyone but I believe they should." It can go on. The message is simply "be who you want to be, believe in whatever you want to believe in." And quotes like that are in everything. Lol

The crayons who say "that's not who you are" are wrong of course. They crayon is clearly blue. The human analog would be if a guy were stuck in women's clothing and everybody told him he was a woman, despite him having the genitals of a guy. So even as transgender propoganda, the book fails.

Then don't read the -blam!-ing book.

21 RepliesThey're also trying to shove their way into my beloved star wars. It makes me sick tbh. There's also a children's book about a boy who likes to wear princess outfits. My wife, who's a teacher, was given that book by management to read to the kids; my wife hid that crap.

Edited by Britton: 3/8/2016 4:34:31 PMIs the book being read in schools? If not, I'm not concerned. There's children's books for all kinds of random crap.
