Of Hinderaker’s Entirely Unblinking Irony: Ask Gov. DeSantis, About 12 And 13 Year Olds Being Shown The Same Cesarini Painting.

So… we all well know MAGA GOP Florida Gov. DeSantis is a book banner/burner. As is Texas Gov. Abbott.

The pair have independently threatened teachers with firing or prosecution — ones who’ve allow middle school kids to read materials on the Holocaust (as one example — slavery, as another).

Here we have a series of nude young women, in a masterpiece of oil — from Cesarini. But Hindereaker goes on for several paragraphs about how Muslim parents in France ought not be allowed to object to the content of it, for 12 year olds.

I guarantee you, John, that Gov. DeSantis would charge teachers as groomers / child pornographers, if it were learned that they showed it to 12 year olds, in any public middle school.

And John would be right there, cheering the prosecutions.

[Of course killing French middle school teachers is no answer. But John’s suggestion that this is a serious problem… in America… is NOT a serious person’s position. It is a polemicist’s.]

Irony is an amazing thing, Hinderaker. Take a teaspoon — or a tall glass — on second thought, you better drink the tall glass of it.
