    Exactly but your explanation/excuse was incorrect as Bill o’reilly did not talk about the physics of tides. He implied tides were the work of a fictional God

    His point was that we don't know why gravity exists. Of course, we don't know why all the laws of physics are what they are. The great mystery for humanity. And, of course, he is correct. These things are mysteries.

    got a better article? I read the whole thing and it makes no mention of WHAT in his book made it unsuitable. If you are gonna have book laws for kids like this (and i think there should be), its inevitable someone is gonna get mad. When a certain political party tries to put gay porn in school libraries, good Politicians like DeSantis have to act on it and no law is perfect. O'Reilly should learn the term "take the good with the bad". If his book met some criteria that clashes with the law/policy then he has to suck it up and deal. I'm pretty sure the children won't be depressed over a political book not being in there.

    So you would ban books for "ignorance?"

    Heh, well isn't that ironic.

    Einstein did not explain why the force of gravity exists. He devised equations to predict how gravity acts just as Newton did.

    I have read both books and there is nothing that high school students have not already heard. There are the kids editions of both books for elementary and middle schools.

    Please re listen. It was the physicist who brought up the imaginary god on Mount Olympus. The fact remains that the atheist physicist stated that he nor anyone else could explain why the force of gravity exists.

    It’s political. I hope and wouldn’t be surprised if DeSantis got involved.

    According to the book banners, ANY sex scene in a book makes it pornography.

    Sorry, I have no interest in reading porn. You'll have to share.

    So because it had a sex scene. Same reason the Bible is now considered porn and is being banned from libraries.

    There was no sex scene. One paragraph documenting young Reagan’s amorous adventures in Hollywood.

    And you are okay with children being exposed to this pornography?!?! O'Reilly is obviously a groomer.

    Once I actually saw the images of gay oral sex for myself, that were being showed to elementary children, I lost all respect for the people complaining about book banning. You guys wanted that book promoted to our children?! At least it's obvious why our deep state and media can leak anything about anything, even if it harms our nation, but those Epstein clients will be defended until the end.

    There is a children’s version of the book for elementary and middle schools. There is no mention of sex in that edition.

    And is that one banned? (Also, not seeing a children's version of either of these O'Reilly books when I search online).

    The books aren’t banned. If you want to read them, go buy them.
