it's the right thing to do. Let kids decide their preference when they are old enough. NOT through the children's book section of a public library! Basically force feeding sex preference on children.

P Robbins

Sexual preference isn't "decided." It simply is. Think about it, and try to see if you can change yours.

Deb Kizer Dyck

I don't know why they should be randomly placed, all other categories are separated, like fiction. Mystery, humor, travel, etc. They should especially be away from children's books.

Robert 'Lew' Lewandowski

The central issue concerns the exposure of minor children to explicit sexual material. One of these disputed books graphically illustrates oral sex involving minors. That is the very definition of child pornography. Movies have age restrictions, explicit books should have similar age designations.

P Robbins

Title and author, please. I call BS.

Mickie Cleveland Kampstra

Yes, just like other categories of books are placed together.

People try to distinguish lgbtq people too much they get their own everything can yall stop amping their head and making them believe they can trample or people because they have the work and government on their side and they think they run everything

Inge Kriegler and Michael Ward

I don’t believe LGBTQ sexually explicit or any sexually explicit information should be given to young children any more than cigarettes. Wait till they are old enough to vote and let them make up their minds as to what they want to read

Lynn Huntley

Absolutely NOT. Everyone wants freedom of speech, as long as they agree about what is being said. Our kids are bullied enough without adding this to their plate.

P Robbins

Putting these materials in their "own" section is simply another way to discriminate against people who already face baseless discrimination.

Megan Basl-Huff

This should not be taught to children of any age until they are old enough and mature. As in have gone through puberty and know right from wrong etc.

James Waynauskas

Should just be in with other books

Dianne Price

We can't support censorship!!

Kimmy Wasatch

It makes no difference to me what a persons sexual preference is until, it is made an issue of and belief that the LGTBTQ community should have special privileges. Books should be on shelves but NOT have a special section and especially NOT for children.

Paige Farris

Libraries are for the general public and follow the Dewey decimal system. Very few of any specific topic gets its own section. AND libraries are the originators of First Amendment rights. I'm sorry there are so many parents in Crook County who are scared of homosexuality.

TB West

Segregating out and eventually banning certain books is traveling down a dangerous road - as Americans, we should be better than that.

The new code has been in effect for a month. Did you expect your MAGA utopia to appear overnight?

They are trying to take away our Constitutional right to vote regardless of being a criminal or not that is our right

Amanda

So, felons should be able to own guns too? After all, that's a constitutional right as well. Try serving your sentence first.

Latterdaysaint

Not a good idea

Kristine Dallas

Just because you're incarcerated they're still citizens of the United States and we should not take that away from them constitutionally

This is about the stupidest law I have ever seen Liberal Democrats come up with. Just another way for Democrats to continue destroying Oregon. It's all about gaining more Democratic voters. Shame on all of you.

Kristine Dallas

Regardless of your criminal status you're taking away the constitutional right of civilians and that's not okay they have the right to vote regardless

Ross Poldark

The government wants to take away many of the freedoms and rights of law abiding citizens, and now they want to give criminals the right to Vote. This says a lot about the lack of moral compass and lack of integrity In our government.

Debra Sun-Mills

Absolutely no. They lost their rights when they committed a crime. This is just another stupid politically motivated law.

Tanya nogales

Prisoners should not have the right to vote. They already had made a bad choice in life. We are already facing state and government problems without their vote. I dont need any criminal choosing whats best for us and our children.

Amanda

Absolutely not! They lost that right when they broke the law. Plus, I'm pretty sure their voting rights are restored after they serve their sentence.

Terree Putman

They are incarcerated & should NOT BE ALLOWED WHILE THEY ARE ON THE INSIDE. A dumb ideal!! They can vote when They are out and a part of society.

Ron Deems

One of the consequences of being a scourge of society is you loose your right to vote. Keep it that way.

Dave DuRette

Have you got some sort oof vendetta going here Mr. Daniels? Give it a break.

SunnySunshinestein

Only after they've completed their jail sentence and paid all fines and/or restitution.

Rick Allen

Of course not, that is absurd. Criminals, illegal aliens, non citizens, thats bizarre nonsense. The leftest D A s are letting dangerous criminal back on the streets before their trials, this is insane, and twisted. A criminal waives those rights when committing a crime, period!

Mark Mueller

When a person commits a felony they have demonstrated that they cannot function in a civil society and therefore forfeit their right to vote. This looks like another Democrat attempt to harvest votes.

Deb Kizer Dyck

Criminals have lost that privilege! It's outrageous to consider giving that back to them. We need proper law-abiding citizens to help guide this country, not criminals!

Latterdaysaint

Voting is a privilege; a privilege properly exercised at the voting booth, not from a prison cell. States have a significant interest in reserving the vote for those who have abided by the social contract that forms the foundation of a representative democracy. We are talking about rapists, murderer

Steven Daniels

And Daddy Jeffs.

Latterdaysaint

I'm also, btw he is not my daddy
