Well I see where she went wrong. She went in with honest intentions, found evidence, and presented it to the republican party. She never stood a chance.
It almost sounds like a king of the hill episode.
Remember what they did to Liz Cheney? All she did was sit on a committee and sort through reams of evidence and come to the conclusion that something unjust had happened to our nation on Jan.6. All they have to do to get banned from their own party is lean towards the center from the far right.....BANNED!
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

That’s brilliant. And so valid right now.
@@jennybean416 You should peep Voltaire’s quotes on the jews.
Deep down, she was an intelligent and honest person. That is NOT allowed in Texas.
Republicans want the poorly educated. Those kind are the only ones who vote for them. Republicans HATE education for that reason. Anyone actually educated in reality would never vote for them, unless they are already wealthy.
Speaking of "indoctrinating our kids", let’s talk about why they put bibles and Ten Commandments posters in every classroom. That action is literally the origin of the word Indoctrination.
Well, 2 things.
A) Good on her, she actually changed her mind when presented with real world evidence and called BS on the *narrative*.
B) I hope she does OK in the future and manages to affect some change, because even though she's on that side of the political spectrum she's sane. More people like this need to exist.
This is why we have separation of church and state. Thomas Jefferson said people are too easily manipulated by religion and the emotions associated with it.
@@PondLeHockey1234 Separation of Church and State ? In the US ? Good laugh.
Realizing you've made an error is a huge opportunity for improvement
Only if you have the ability to acknowledge your mistake , ONLY IF !
Oh no! She actually USED her brain! Well! How dare she! She is just not welcome anymore in today's Republican party.
Nooo... we're not Nazis. As they toss a few more books on the fire.🙄
Watch an "old" movie titled "Fahrenheit 451".
@@mikeneill6813 which one? The one from 2018 or the really old one from 1966? Or perhaps read the book by Ray Bradbury from 1953. All excellent choices. Although the reviews for 2018 are sorta blah. Also a good read is Heaven's Lathe. Which they should make into a movie.

To a Republican MAGA “ radical “ is an intelligent, critical thinking, adult who doesn’t swallow the MAGA propaganda
She is the perfect example of applying critical thinking 🎉. I wish her the best in her career ❤
It takes a big person to admit you were wrong.
And an even bigger person who tries to undo the damage that was caused by their wrong doing…
“hey guys, this material is actually not too bad” …. MAGA - sends mob to silence her.
It takes a strong person to admit they were wrong. And do the introspection thats hitting her like a wall right now.
I am relieved there is at least a minority of Republicans who are honest. We are all relying on them to vote for Democrats so that we may all maintain our right to be able to vote (and have that vote counted) in the future.
in my experience, the people who are no longer republicans are honest. They're just not loud and they're swiftly moved to the "not one of us" camp.
Sadly, knowing Republicans like her, I suspect she's going to go ahead and vote for Republicans anyway, because she hasn't made that last connection that maybe a party that lies to you just isn't worth her vote, and if they've lied to her about this, what makes her think anything they've accused Democrats of is true? I'm sure she still believes all the other horrible lies she's been told about Democrats.
You would think it would make them happy to find out that their children are not being indoctrinated!
They already knew that. What they wanted was to indoctrinate but with their propaganda.
It shatters their belief system, they can't stand it.

Nothing offends MAGA more than facts and reality.
As Progressives offer neither, how would you know?
@@Mustapha1963progressives do offer both, the problem is that people like you don’t accept them.
@@davidpacifico1019 You mean like the "reality" that Joe Biden was mentally and physically able to run for re-election? THAT "reality"?
@@Mustapha1963 We can work backwards.
Trump is a liar and a narcissist, so we can assume anything related to him is unreal and a lie.
Therefore, the further removed from Trump we get, the more truthful and grounded in reality things become. They also becomes more offensive to Trumpers.
Thus, we can conclude: nothing offends MAGA more than facts and reality.
@@anon9469 Uh-huh. So Biden is still "fine"? The Steele Dossier is still "real"? Trump-Russia Collusion is still "real"? You're jump embarrassing yourself now.
Basically, it boils down to the conservative mindset about the definitions of "sexualization" and "critical race theory".
Sexualization: Any media which includes any non-straight cisgender persons. So if the prince kisses sleeping beauty to wake her up, that's not sexual at all. But if the prince's best friend Jack, who's also gay, shows up to give him a thumbs up and say "good job" it's now tantamount to pornography.
Critical Race Theory: Any media which teaches that slavery happened/was bad, jim crow happened/was bad, school desegration happened/was bad, etc. The moment you say something bad happened to someone black and any point in time in the US, that's CRT. Again, according to conservatives.
Just before my mother died in 2004, she apologized. She said she thought she was doing the right thing raising us the way she did. Although her two brothers were homosexual, her two uncles were homosexual, and even her aunt had an illegal child. And her second son committed suicide because he was gay. And I'm gay, and so is my youngest brother. And when she understood, she knew that she had done nothing to make us happy. She had failed as a mother.
That is so rare, it makes you think thatvthe Gay Gene is real
@@22espec Wtf dude... You make no sense.
If you say it's very rare, how can you conclude it prove that a gene exist ?
If being gay were genetic, it would not be rare to have so much gay in a family...
Your ideas are crazy and dangerous...
@@pierrotANo, you’re just criminally ignorant. Being gay is NOT a choice.
@@pierrotA I took @22espec’s comment to mean that it was rare for a parent to apologise for what she perceived as actions and behaviours that didn’t contribute positively to her children’s personal growth and development.
Retired Librarian. In getting an MLS, one of the courses I took was to research "challenged" material (censored items). One of the things I fdound in school and experienced as a school librarian was that 90% of people who complain about books havent actually read the book. Oh, they've read, or heard, about the book but not actually read it! In the few cases I ran into, the "parent" who actually DID read the book withdrew their complain.
Retired RN here. As a former student who continues to learn, read, etc. Please note, friends, librarians of old are people who hold DEGREES IN LITERATURE. *Listen to them.*
I wonder if they could add a requirement to the complaint form that the person certifies they read that book cover to cover before submitting the request to ban it?? Not likely😂😂😂
I think this ultimately shows that the current Republican Party is catering to a base of people who are given a specific idea of what's happening in the world around them, yet once these people are given an opportunity to go _hands-on_ with the systems and ideas that they're told to fear and hate, they get a perspective that goes outside the propaganda. In other words, the GOP is creating a voting bloc that simply _doesn't know better._
Social emotional learning has been banned in my state. There, it was predominately used with disabled students such as the blind and visually impaired ones I worked with. Blind kids can't see other people's facial expressions and are often isolated when they're very young. Learning to read and understand what other people are feeling is crucial for them to be able to live independently as adults. If you can't discern through the tones of people's voices that they're getting upset with you it is very hard to make friends or interact oroperly in the workplace. Cutting off that pathway for them to learn about how to navigate their world has created additional barriers for the students.
I'm glad this woman learned about SEL and what it actually is. Better late than never.
I moved to Belgium from the US 20 years ago. My daughter was 3 and I enrolled her in public school (it starts at 2.5 years here). I notices that she wasn't learning ABCs or numbers so much as how to get along. I asked her teacher about it. She said in pre-K the focus is on being a good person and learning how to interact socially. And it works.
@@benu_bird ...I don't agree with that as a way to conduct schooling at all, but I'm glad it's working out for you. That absolutely would not fly here in the US. Here it is used as a supplement for kids that aren't well socialized for whatever reason, or occasionally to teach why we don't put gum in our classmates' hair for slightly older kids.
@@toulousegoose1150 You don't agree with teaching 3 year old's how to not fight-start learning how to deal with conflict-and treat each other with respect? Yah, seeing the violence and school shootings, I can see how that's working.
@@benu_bird I don't agree with sending them to school with no sort of academic learning whatsoever, no. They could be learning about numbers or being introduced to letters. What you are discussing sounds like daycare with a therapist instead of an academic setting.
@@toulousegoose1150
Are you saying children shouldn't have access to other fields of learning besides STEM? Cause that's bullshit.
I don't get why people are more scared of books than guns.
Fear of the unknown
books create and curate critical thinking skills
Ever heard the quote "the pen is mightier than the sword?" If you control information, and more importantly if you control education, you control the people absolutely. If you cannot control information, no matter how many guns you point at someone, you will not have true control of them. If you want to control the people, start by controlling the schools. This is a tactic used by both sides without reservation and it's tyrannical, plain and simple.
@@ph11p3540 They do say that the pen is mightier than the sword
Better than realizing you’re wrong and then doubling down.
Indeed. The key to solving problems is always going to be being able to do research and admit when your wrong. As soon as you start willfully spreading misinformation you have become part of the problem.
99% of the books being banned in Florida are because of ONE couple. They just “complain “ about a book and then it gets banned.
“Censorship and the suppression of reading materials are rarely about family values and almost always about control; About who is
snapping the whip, who is saying no, and who is saying go. Censorship's bottom line is this: if the novel Christine offends me, I don't want just to make sure it's kept from my kid; I want to make sure it's kept from your kid, as well, and all the kids. This bit of intellectual arrogance, undemocratic and as old as time, is best expressed this way: "If it's bad for me and my family, it's bad for everyone's family."
Yet when books are run out of school classrooms and even out of school libraries as a result of this idea, I'm never much disturbed not as a citizen, not as a writer, not even as a schoolteacher . . . which I used to be. What I tell kids is, Don't get mad, get even. Don't spend time waving signs or carrying petitions around the neighborhood. Instead, run, don't walk, to the nearest nonschool library or to the local bookstore and get whatever it was that they banned. Read whatever they're trying to keep out of your eyes and your brain, because that's exactly what you need to know.”
― Stephen King
I’m a black America woman, the older I get the more I realize most of society is built on rich people getting everyone below them in the social hierarchy to fight among themselves so they don’t question the social structure. I remember when I first heard a yt person say this, I thought it was a cop out to ignore racism and who’s getting treated worse, but no, they were correct. How well you’re treated in society overall is more determined by how much money you can accumulate than anything else.
Yeah. A rich investor steals 50 billion from middle-class inverstors or w/e. Gets 6 months house arrest.
Homeless man steals $20 to buy some food. Gets 10 years in jail.
There is no equal treatment under the law, the determining factor is always how much cash you have to your name.
If you think about it, even racism was always about $. Yt people didnt enslave Africans because they thought they were inferior and deserved it, its the other way around. They came up with the white supremacy narrative *in order to justify the slavery* (and to give poor whites something to be grateful for).
Like When yt southerners say "nooo the civil war was about economics" well no shit, slavery is always first and foremost an economic institution. That is the entire purpose of slavery wherever it occurs.
It’s always been about class. Race is a begine distinction created to divide the working class and give the impression they have to work against each other instead of with each other for the common good. For those who truly buy into it, it then becomes a justification for the inequality in our society.
That’s why the myth of the “American dream” was sold to the masses, to make it seem like they could uplift their position and become apart of the capitalist class. It’s nothing but key dangling to distract while they rob us blind of our futures and our children’s futures.
class war, not race war...
Brave woman. She learned. I hope others do.
In Denmark, even EMPATHY is TAUGHT to kids, from EARLY years...!! REAL education comes from REAL EXPERIENCE from NORMAL People...not 'religious' not 'fascist' not 'conservative' not exclusive'....!!
Wait… are you telling me that books seem different if you read the whole thing and not a few lines out of context??? 🤯
Nah, there are books that are shit either way :D
Ban the Bible! Soo much sex and even homo stuff in there. The other 95% has nothing socially educational in it anyway.....🌚
@cy-one like the Bible, right? Agreed
@@bingobongo-fn5jy Exactly, yes ;)
One can realize a children's book is just trying to teach how to be a good person.
But there's no taking out the genocide (and countless other atrocities) out of the Bible.
@@cy-one There is no such thing as a "good person" or "atrocities". Grow up.
Great example of someone recognizing tribalism and putting evidence based reason above it.
It's crazy how the Republicans are accusing Democrats of grooming kids, when they are the ones who have been caught to the point where they have to resign or quit their jobs.
Progressive means to progress, so obviously progressive is seen as good for society. I remember books like “To Kill a Mockingbird” about race prejudice in the 1930’s south, being mandatory reading in public school , and many other books . The “The catcher in the Rye” , “Lord of the Flies”, “1984”. These are great books for children to read. Banning books is crazy.
I’m an elementary teacher. I once told a parent we had an SEL (social emotional learning) curriculum. His first question was “are you gonna be teaching all that gay shit?”
No. The lessons are about not hitting somebody if you get mad or being kind to others by thinking about how they feel.
What does “teach that gay shit” even mean? Teach kids that there are gay people around? They’ll find out.
So the gay shit 😂
Hey, fellas? Is it gay to not punch people?
@@GrouchyGander According to a lot of men: Yes.
@@HDreamer That's just pathetic reasoning on their part.
Genuinely takes a lot of strength to change your mind, especially when your views are shared by most of the people around you. This lady has my respect
Kudos to Ms Gore She actually did the work, was honest about what she found (or DIDN'T find), and has the guts and integrity to stand by it.
I was kicked off our Board of Education for trying to strengthen the math curriculum. The opposition claimed that I was "depriving our children of their childhood." Better that than depriving them of their adulthood.
The fun part came when the state made the BoE do exactly what I had planned.
Book bans are usually irrational
you only ban messasges you fear. a book should be discussed, disproved, even shunned if it's something like Mein kampf.
but never banned
IL banned book bans which is pretty cool
An open-minded, thoughtful conservative!? Whoda thunk it?
My thought exactly.
Gore is a rare current day Republican who actually does the research to either prove or disprove the message. Kudos to her!
Courtney Gore deserves all of our respect. Not only did she take the effort to research what she was talking about. When she discovered that she was wrong, she actually changed her mind, even though it would have been easier to double down. If I were wearing my hat, I would take it off for her.
Taught at a school in Amarillo where the teachers were openly evangelizing and spreading Qanon to the kids. Principal changed coved rules sent from administration. The bad behavior accelerated quickly over the past several years. They’re everywhere
It’s amazing that she actually looked through the books. It shows her intellectual honesty. I’m afraid she’s the only one who surprised that the book banners turned against her. Personally, I think she’s great for doing this.
She followed the commandments "thou shall not bear false witness" and those "Christians" hate her for it. What's going to happen when the kids read that on the board and check the adults?
😂 Ya know you might have just made the best case FOR putting the ten commandments in all classrooms. If Republicans actually did that, the kids would take one look at the Republican party and become instant Democrats. Republicans are the best at the self-own.
@@Point_Particle I don't have a problem with that, but to be fair you have to put the core of Islam and Hindu and other religions up as well
"school marshalls"what kind of shite society is America?
Oh, it's so shit, my man! We're trying to leave it!
It's... in a bad way at the moment, I'll admit. There is a big focus on propagandizing, fear mongering, and ideology right now as opposed to... you know... fixing actual problems. It's very easy to pick an enemy and declare that as long as you remove that enemy everything will get better. Hitler did it with the Jews, Stalin did it with... well, kind of everyone. It was used to justify the Crusades and the Jihads. Fortunately, the constitution that makes up the foundation of our nation is still intact and specifically designed to prevent a tyrant from seizing power. So long as enough of the people keep that in mind we can survive this spat of insanity.
@@silverswordsmith5424The US constitution was heavily edited throughout the years (by definition, each amendment is a modification of the constitution), which is not a bad thing, a legal framework should be updated to fit with its era. The election of the US president uses one of the worst kind of systems, the separation of powers is also quite laughable, the executive power nominating the top of the judicial power. Gerrymandering is also very easy in most states, the borders being drawn by those in power.
@@nerze3157 I didn't say it was perfect, but we hardly live in a system where upon election the President can simply abolish all rights and protections with the wave of his hand. Believing that is the case is ultimately what resulted in the assassination attempt and subsequent death of an innocent bystander.
@@silverswordsmith5424 Speaking from France: that is exactly what Trump has suggested, while wailing about the election. I certainly hope that such insanity never occurs, but there is just enough out there that it is becoming a legitimate concern.
SHE READ THE BOOKS??!?
Color me flomaxed!!
I applaud her for coming forward, but I wonder- why she didn't look at the material before she ran ?
Well, the situation's all the better off for it. She can't be easily dismissed for her beliefs because she's in a position to change people. As opposed to if she had read the books ahead of time, which would've led to her becoming easily dismissed as "against their narrative" or even "a raving liberal loon" so as to nip what would be a positive influence in the bud.
@@normanmai7865 My understanding is her findings were ignored because "it didn't fit their narrative" (her words).
A well regulated library, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Books, shall not be infringed.
Glad to see that she was willing to do the research to see if the rhetoric was actually true, even if she did spread it to get herself elected.
God forbid children look to the future! Let's bring back covered wagons!

If they’re banning books the Bible should be the first one to be Banned !
Book Banners have NEVER been on the right side of history
Good on her. She said she would do research and followed through, then came to her own conclusions. I know that this should be a low bar but she ACTUALLY USED HER MIND AND CRITICAL FACULTIES.
They have been playing the victims since claiming the Roman Empire fed Christens to the lions.
But Christians were persecuted in Rome. Not that I disagree that the Christian Persecution Complex is completely unfounded today, but there is substantial evidence that shows that Christians were persecuted in Rome. There is surviving correspondence between Trajan and Pliny the Younger where it’s made clear that Christians were prosecuted on bunk charges and sometimes without charge excepting being a Christian, and Tacitus says that Nero used the Christians of Rome as a scapegoat for the fire of Rome that he failed to put out.
@@ladnie9454They can never play the victim card considering how they treated other religions and the non religious afterwards
@@hellishthehellrellish5672 We don’t want to downplay the Armenian Genocide. Once again, I don’t think Christians are anywhere near persecuted in America or the west in general, but there have been people tortured and murdered for being Christians throughout time. (Persecution is bad, flat out)
That one actually happened though. Christians were not liked in imperial Rome, just like any group that denied the divinity of the Emperor.
@@ladnie9454 Christians suffered greatly during the early years. I don't believe that Christianity is the problem at all. It is when a political party tries to co-opt the narrative that THEY are Christian and the other side isn't. This starts to push TRUE Christianity out of the picture and push their agenda using the word christianity VS. the WORD and Christianity for everyone. True Christians aren't red or blue, they just ARE!
It turns out most teachers know what they're doing when they make teaching material. Incredible revelation. Absolutely stunning. Who could have seen that the folks with decades of experience in teaching children know how to teach children in non-intrusive ways better than random people?
Did these clowns ever read the bible cover to cover though? biblical teachings... *shudder*
The initial setup has very "Just SAY there was fraud, and my senators will do the rest" vibes.
It nice to hear…someone gets their eyes open and admits it.
Isn’t book banning cancel culture?
There is a RUclips channel, Genitically Modifed Skeptic. Most of his content is debunking the apologetic videos of various evangelical online figures. He was born and raised as a zealous evangelical. It occurred to him back then, that God being God, not only would the existence of God would manifest in ways that could be observed and proven without having to fall back to “But the Bible says so.’
So, purely to prove us atheists wrong, and knowing that we would never accept the Bible it self as proof, he embarked on a mission to prove the existence of God using only the evidence and logic of secular people. And after a little while, he’d proven to himself that God doesn’t exist (or that Gods existence cannot be proven).
He had to walk away from his devout friends, devout family… everything. Luckily his wife was walking a similar path, and now she has her own channel dedicated to specifically debunk a lot of the amazingly bad Christian reasons behind much of the normalized toxic stuff the push.
In my opinion, the only people who could convert Christian’s, using only the Bible, must be a former believer. I was raised atheist, and if my interlocutor will investigate further on his/ come around.

Republican discovers common sense, mind blown
It's big of her to change her mind very publically but am I insane to think you should do your research before you confidently spout a lot of lies about a topic?
No, you aren't insane, but it is very easy to say whatever you like on the internet without thinking about it. It's like speaking before you think, but in this case literally everyone can hear what you said. I mean, just do a quick scroll through this comment section and you'll see plenty of people doing the *exact* same thing, just on the other side of the aisle. Doing research takes time and can be unpleasant, especially when you realize you've been spreading lies you foolishly believed the whole time.
I lived in Texas during the 70s because of a husband in the military and had my first child. Thank god it was only 4 years and could bring my child back to Massachusetts for a decent education. A call out to Newton MA.
I grew up in Texas in the 1950s and 60s, and by 1973, I was able to leave for good. Since I was gay, I feared for my life, and everyone there had guns, including my father. I experienced severe depression as a teenager and generally felt alienated there.
I have friend's from college that live in Granbury. One of whom teaches in Granbury ISD. And, while I'm generally dismayed to see one of these "Mom's For Liberty" types winning a schoolboard election. I am glad that this particular one is owning up to her mistakes, acknowledging that she was wrong. And, calling out her supporters.
"That was but a prelude:
where they burn books,

Good for her for realizing the truth and congrats for getting out of the cult 💜
Alot of them probably would if, before starting a petition for a book ban, you had to write a book report, have it anonymously mixed in with 13 year olds, and get at least a B. If you get a C or under, you're assumed to have faked the petition.
The only people that should be “banning” books are parents who want to monitor what their OWN children read; i.e. maybe they think THEIR child is not ready to read a particular book. Otherwise keep out of libraries / bookstores; etc.
there is absolutely no need for “banning” books
As far as "small town values," "God made the country, man made the cities, and the devil made small towns."
@@jeannerogers7085 ooooh that's a good one... source?
Awesome! Truth is real power! It's amazing to see people be individual thinkers and be brave!
Here's the truth about book bans. Banning books makes them more attractive.
Only the poorly educated vote for the repubs. Donald Trump said on video that he loves the poorly educated for that reason.
Books bans should be seen as Recommended Reading lists. ?What are they trying to hide from you?
To recommend certain books is different from forbiding certain books. If you recommend books, people can still chose from all other books. If you forbid books, you actually narrow the range of still available books.
She is the very few conservatives who used her ability to critical think
Too bad that goes against their belief system.
Poor woman didn't know that the fluff, pomp and ceremony is the Republican party.
Wow. She is amazing. So courageous of her!
It is sad that conservatives like her dont make the news. There are plenty of conversatives who I disagree with but have integrity and are willing to recognize when they are wrong. Of course the ones who are never wrong no matter what dont want us to know about them. Just like they only want to talk about the far fringe of the left.
In normal democracies, parents don't normally turn up to a normal schoolboard meeting with guns. Normally.
Well, how could they continue to be snowflakes if it gets out that their reason for being a victim isn't true.
Excellent! Emotive terms such as 'pornography, indoctrination, grooming' are all designed to inflame the emotions and make us stupid. I am so pleased that Courtney Gore has remained calm and exercised her intellect in the face of such high emotion.
She had a teachable moment!
School marshals? How fucked does a society have to be to require school marshals? How fucked up does a person have to be to want to live there?
She is obviously a genius among MAGAots. And one of the extremely rare honest ones.
It’s easy to be wholly ignorant about books when you don’t ever read any…way to spell that out about yourself Texas
Donald Trump is on video record proving that he cannot read any intelligence reports without needing them to be dumbed down to a few sentences with lots of pictures to help him figure them out. Like a kindergarten "Dick and Jane" book.
Yet another story of someone who actually does their research and speaks truth only to be shunned and hated by their party because the cant stand objective reality
At least she's experienced just how quickly they turn on their own if someone actually speaks out.
If more people like this would be open to education over indoctrination we would get somewhere. Bravo to her for putting education over ego.
Please don't use the effing word "indoctrination". It is thrown around by the intellectually lazy, just like they use "woke", towards anything they don't like or understand. It is a loaded word with extremely few real-world examples.
Authoritarian rule is for those who can't think for themselves...
Thank you John for reporting on IMPORTANT Topics. You should also REPORT on the DAMAGE that your colleagues Cenk and Ana are doing by pushing UNDECIDED Voters over to the Dark Side... Vote BLUE💙
I agree.
I can no longer listen to Ana and Cenk.
@@broomhag I unsubscribed. The connection makes me hesitant ro come here.
If only she would go one step further in her thinking on this; I mean, she said this behavior is not advancing their party, but it's pretty much standard operating procedure for her party now, so maybe it's time for her to reject that party since it is apparently not at all what she thought it was. How many other things are the Republican party and Fox News lying to her and people like her about?
She found out first-hand they've been lying to her about this from the beginning, and it's on a subject that is integral and pivotal to the future of her children, so why would she ever trust them ever again about anything?
How long ago did this happen? Has it been enough time for her to come to terms with the fact that her worldview is turning out to be false? Or to consider that people she cares about may turn on her too? Has she had the time to gain the strength and courage to risk relationships in exchange for truth?
Give people time. Change is not easy, and it definitely doesn't happen all at once. She's taken a great first step. Let's let her process it without immediately demanding more. Please.
last time books were banned and burnt was under hitler.
