LimpyLoo Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 This thread is for general backwardness big or small cultural, social, political, etc to kick things off... New Zealand Bans Young Adult Novel http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/08/asia/new-zealand-book-ban/ Like banned banned. Like Ulysses banned. Like illegal to own or sell banned. All this thanks to Family First, a (you guessed it!) conservative Christian lobby group. here is their take on the 11-year old Paraguay girl raped by step-father: https://www.familyfirst.org.nz/2015/08/girl-exploited-by-amnesty-intl-names-baby-miracle/ here is their take on LGBT issues ("social madness"): https://www.familyfirst.org.nz/2015/09/zis-is-what-i-call-social-madness/ https://www.familyfirst.org.nz/2015/09/more-than-150-students-walk-out-of-classes-to-protest-boy-using-girls-locker-room/ https://www.familyfirst.org.nz/2015/07/the-big-gay-marriage-lie/ And one of their biggest causes is pushing "pro-smacking" legislation (i.e. "parenting with the back of your hand"): https://www.familyfirst.org.nz/2015/07/hypocrisy-britain-must-ban-smacking-to-protect-human-rights-says-united-nations/ https://www.familyfirst.org.nz/2015/07/anti-smacking-law-still-fails-children/ While their idiotic views are not noteworthy, their influence is: There is now a book that is illegal to own in NZ because of some dillusionall (yet powerful) prudes. And of course Family First currently enjoys tax-exempt "charity" status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
