The only thing that can stop a “bad” library with a book is a “good” library with a book

book banning, missouri, Rick Brattin, right wingnut, social media, Twitter

Well, at least he didn’t make it through the right wingnut republican 4th Congressional District primary in August. Not that there’s any difference.

Yesterday:

Rick Brattin @RickBrattin
I’m proud to have banned these books in school libraries. It’s sick that people think this is appropriate for school age children.

Some of the responses:

You need to watch Footloose again.

Do the Bible next.

#GFY Fascist

Can you also ban a book full of violence, bigamy, and murder?

Child sacrifice, rape, incest …

We see what you did there.

People who ban books are always on the right side of history… Right? [….]

Meh, Gender Queer is totally fine for high school kids. I’m sorry you are embarrassed by it, but not your place to say what is or is not appropriate for others’ kids.

If parents don’t like it, they can ban it for their own kids.

Stop encroaching on my kids’ liberty and choice

It takes a special kind of lack of intellect to pat on one’s back for trying to dumb the next generation to one’s level. Fortunately, there are plenty of smart parents who hand all kinds of books to their kids & tell them that life is full of variety & diversity & it’s beautiful!

Aren’t you that waste of synapses that wanted to teach young Earth Creationism?

Heh. Yep.

Nazis ban books (P)Rick

From a right wingnut PAC mailer directed at Rick Brattin (r) during the August republican primary:

It fits.

We get mail.

Perhaps our favorite image to date from among all of the 2022 republican primary campaign mailings in Missouri:

We’ve received several mail pieces paid for by a right wingnut Federal Super PAC that attack Rick Brattin (r). Not that we’re complaining. This is today’s edition:

Blah, blah, blah, RINO. Blah, blah, China, blach, blah, America last.

Blah, blah, Never-Trumper. Blah, blah, China. Blah, blah, Chinese Communist Companies. There’s an oxymoron for you – Communist Corporatist Capitalists.

So much for Ronald Raygun’s© Eleventh Commandment.

Attempting to fail upward.

Thank you to everyone who turned out for today’s press conference announcing my candidacy for U.S. Congress in the Fourth Congressional District.
Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi are trying to adopt socialist policies that would lead to the decline of America. In less than a year, they have done so much that has weakened our country, and I truly fear that if they are not stopped our children and grandchildren will not have the same freedom to pursue the American Dream that we have enjoyed.
I am running for Congress because I believe we need to elect conservatives who will stand up and put America First. We need to secure our border, hold China accountable for dishonest trade practices – including outright theft of American intellectual property – and for their cyber warfare against our nation, and stop liberals from using CRT and other ‘woke’ policies to brainwash our children into hating America. This is the greatest country in the world, and it is worth fighting like heck to save.

The heck you say.

By the way, Rick, what is CRT? Have you identified a single school district in Missouri where this CRT indoctrination is taking place?

Sen. Rick Brattin Pushes for Special Session to Stop Vaccine Mandates
August 4, 2021

JEFFERSON CITY — Sen. Rick Brattin, R-Harrisonville, sent a letter to the governor this week urging him to call an extraordinary session of the Missouri Senate and House to consider legislation to protect Missourians from COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

“It’s become clear that some businesses and institutions around this state are dead set on forcing the vaccine on Missourians against their will,” Sen. Brattin said. “The people of Missouri can and should decide for themselves if taking a drug that even the FDA hasn’t fully approved is what is best for them and their families. Employers shouldn’t make that decision, nor should big business, and certainly not politicians.”

The letter comes in response to a number of health care facilities and other businesses forcing workers to be vaccinated by a specified date or be fired from their jobs. Senator Brattin was joined by several of his colleagues in the Senate, who also signed the letter, asking the governor to “call an extraordinary session at your earliest convenience so the General Assembly can take any and all appropriate steps to protect Missouri workers from vaccine mandates.”

“Forcing anyone to take an experimental drug is wrong. It violates some our most basic rights as Americans and Missourians,” Sen. Brattin said. “We need to do something about it, and we need to do it now before people are forced out of their jobs. It’s our job as the elected representatives of the people to safeguard the freedom and liberty of the people we work for, and I can’t think of anything more urgent and important than protecting them from forced vaccination.”

Senator Brattin represents the 31st Senatorial District, covering Barton, Bates, Cass, Henry and Vernon counties. Senator Brattin resides in Harrisonville [….]

Rep. Tony Lovasco (MO-64) @tonylovasco
I happen to disagree with them on this issue, but this is a ridiculous and unproductive comment.

Maybe try rebutting their points rather than attacking an entire group of people.

If you really want more Republicans to change their tune on vaccines, this is not helping.
9:35 PM · Aug 4, 2021

Representative Tony Lovasco, a Republican, represents St. Charles and Lincoln Counties (District 64) in the Missouri House of Representatives. He was elected to his first two-year term in November 2018.

“…If you really want more Republicans to change their tune on vaccines, this is not helping.”

Science and math hasn’t worked. Neither has objective reality nor empathy. What will it take? An engraved invitation? Flowery language? Just asking. It’s your party. A lot of people are dying.

To repeal section 115.124, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof two new sections relating to elections.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Section 115.124, RSMo, is repealed and two new sections enacted in lieu thereof, to be known as sections 115.124 and 115.354, to read as follows:
[….]
115.354. In any declaration of candidacy for an office in a political subdivision or special district, a candidate shall declare an affiliation with a political party, as defined in section 115.013.

Hmmm. Does this mean there would no longer be “stealth’ ideologues running for office in population centers under 1000 people? Just asking.

Representative Rick Brattin (r) [2013 file photo].

A bill on higher education prefiled yesterday by Representative Rick Brattin (r):

Some of the text:

SECOND REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 1474
99TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY
INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE BRATTIN. 4356H.01I D. ADAM CRUMBLISS, Chief Clerk
AN ACT

To repeal section 173.1004, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof two new sections relating to public institutions of higher education.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:

Section A. Section 173.1004, RSMo, is repealed and two new sections enacted in lieu 2 thereof, to be known as sections 173.940 and 173.1004, to read as follows:
173.940. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no public institution of higher education in this state shall award tenure to any person who is hired by such institution for the first time on or after January 1, 2019. The provisions of this section shall not apply to employees hired prior to January 1, 2019.
[….]

Why, this seems rather punitive in nature.

It appears that any understanding of the concept of faculty tenure and the implications for faculty recruitment and shared governance escape the representative. He should, perhaps, bother to ask someone who does.

Rep. Brattin is a 1999 graduate of Lee’s Summit High School.

Well, that could explain some of it.

HA 5 to HB 151: Did anyone bother to send this to Roy Blunt (r) to get his approval?

General Assembly, HB 151, Joe Don McGaugh, missouri, Real ID, Rick Brattin, Robert Ross, Roy Blunt

Senator Roy Blunt (r) wasn’t too concerned about any Missourian’s privacy when he voted earlier this week to allow Internet companies to sell our browsing histories:

On the Joint Resolution: S.J. Res. 34; A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Federal Communications Commission relating to “Protecting the Privacy of Customers of Broadband and Other Telecommunications Services”.

Question: On the Joint Resolution (S.J. Res. 34 )
Vote Number: 94
Vote Date: March 23, 2017, 12:25 PM
Required For Majority: 1/2
Vote Result: Joint Resolution Passed
Vote Counts:
YEAs 50
NAYs 48
Not Voting 2
[….]
Blunt (R-MO), Yea
McCaskill (D-MO), Nay
[….]

Thanks for nothing, Roy.

Today the House Third Read and Passed HB 151, trying to fix the state’s REAL ID mess caused by a previous right wingnut controlled session of the General Assembly.

Rick Brattin (r) submitted an amendment which wasn’t considered:

….This section shall be known and may be cited as the “Show-Me Your Papers Act”…

Robert Ross (r) submitted an amendment which was defeated:

“115.016 Any elected official who votes or takes an action to support a measure seeking compliance with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005 shall display, in a prominent location, in bold font with a text height not less than one-tenth of the article being circulated, at each and every election the member files for after the affirmative vote or action, the following description of his or her allegiance:
I WOULD RATHER KNEEL TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAN STAND STRONG PROTECTING MY CONSTITUENTS’ RIGHT TO PRIVACY”….

Joe Don McGaugh (r) submitted an amendment which wasn’t considered:

…Any elected official who votes or takes an action against a measure seeking compliance with the federal REAL ID Act of 2005 shall display, in prominent location, in bold font with a text height not less than one-tenth of the article being posted, at each and every airport in the state, the elected official’s office and home phone number…

I bet they’d all love to get those phone calls starting in January 2018.

Republicans making noise about protecting our right to privacy? That’s a laugh.
