NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – The Republican supermajority at the capitol is going after more books, this time books the GOP says contain pornographic material in them.

The bill (HB 1944) is receiving backlash and could criminally charge librarians.

Rep. Scott Cepicky (R-Culleoka) is moving forward with the support of his party on a bill to ban library books and criminally punish educators providing access to what they call “pornography and inappropriate content in books.”

Victoria Jackson, a former ‘SNL’ cast member, testified at the House Criminal Justice hearing. Jackson moved to Tennessee a decade ago and was among those at the packed in the hearing making accusations supporting the removal of books. “I soon found out there was pornography obscenity and profanity in our school libraries in some textbooks,” she said.

Rep. Jerry Sexton (R-Bean Station) was also in attendance. “I don’t appreciate what’s going into our libraries it’s not good for our children and shame on you for putting it there,” he said.

1. Get her the fuck out of my city.

“I soon found out there was pornography obscenity and profanity in our school libraries in some textbooks,” she said.

4. Sounds like she found a bible in a school library. n/t

8. What a despicable ignoramus.

17. "some textbooks" ... "some?" ... well, thank god victoria has gone to the rescue!

bible thumping loon back then

i wouldn't doubt she'd like to ban ALL textbooks.

19. Sadly, I think she actually has mental issues.

She ain't right, as we say here in Tennessee

[orleans]

20. i tend to think a majority of/a lot of/ people

who are conservative religious nuts/homophobes/or supporters of the tea party have mental issues (as well as a majority of/a lot of trump supporters)

[spanone]

21. It would appear so

[NanceGreggs]

2. When she was on SNL, she was funny.

Now she's downright hilarious!

3. I assume she sang and accompanied herself on the ukelele?

5. WATCH: "The real agenda is to lower the age of consent and promote pedophilia."

WATCH: “The real agenda is to lower the age of consent and promote pedophilia.” 😵‍💫🙄

Book banning zealots (including ex-SNL’er @VictoriaJackson) attack teachers & librarians with WILD, OFFENSIVE claims in support of @CepickyTn64’s library censorship bill.

It moved to committee.

15. Mystery Science Theater Projection 3000....

How do they know so much about porn?

Fewer Americans than ever identify as religious. Fastest growing group: None.

Bronze Age Shepherd's Guide to Life is chock full of begating and concubines and rape and pillage an plunder and specific instances of when a woman should terminate a pregnancy. Their mythology is morally bankrupt. They preach hate, fear, and stupidity.

Oh, and Love your neighbor as yourself, which Christains don't do, either.

6. Mental Illness is a sad thing n/t

[Caliman73]

7. Libraries are not ONLY for children.

Adults use libraries too and as such, items that are considered for "Adult consumption only" might be present. It is up to US as parents to keep our children away from books that may be developmentally inappropriate.

Lazy pieces of shit want to legislate their stupid morality but then get all pissed of when Liberals talk about taxing super sized sodas a little more because of their effect on obesity rates.

Who's supporting the fucking nanny state now? Hypocrite morons.
