WHAT'S going on with this KOSA bill?

Not sure on how related it is, but both this bill & PragerU have conservative roots, so...:

This video specifically talks about Leo and Layla's History Adventures, which is basically lying about & erasing history to fuel American patrioitism... kinda like what the KOSA bill could be used for(and also sorta what PragerU Kids is). Saberspark in particular noted the Christopher Columbus episode & considering what we've said about the KOSA bill possibly being used to silence marginalized groups, it makes me wonder if Columbus Day, a day in which Christopher Columbus is celebrated, could theoretically be considered racism towards Italians. I mean, like what OP said, Italy has CENTURIES of rich history & yet this freakin' guy is what Americans choose to celebrate!? I already know that, as someone with German roots, that us being mainly known for Nazis instead of the other, better things is awful, but like being CELEBRATED for birthing a horrific monster of a "human"!? Jeez!

News out of Georgia USA:
As of July 1st, a new law restricting social media use for minors takes effect today. Parental permission will be required for children under age 16 to have a social media account, and restricts usage in schools. Students must also take educational courses on safe social media use, and cyberbullying.

How do they plan to enforce this?
Your guess is as good as mine. We have long had rules on social media that basically requires/requests users to be 13, shouldn't that be the parents' job to enforce that?

2 pieces of news:
Prominent business website Forbes just published an editorial article on KOSA. Basically went over the points we have talked about on this thread, and concludes that that should be the parents/guardian's job.

One social media age verification bill (that originated out of Mississippi) was blocked by a federal judge. Seeing as how this is a VERY sore spot for our country and its laws (federal vs. state), going to be interesting no matter what the outcome.

Yeah it's a huge waste of time and money to try to enforce laws like that IMO. The biggest sites like banking websites ALREADY get major hacks because of people simply having too much to gain from said hacks (blackmail, financial reward) and said sites skimping out on decent security protection to save $$$. There is simply no way that a website can keep your personal ID information truly safe, barring top dollar in security, like certain government sites. And we all know the average site, no matter how successful, cannot afford or guarantee that. Think about how much to gain the average hacker would have in this case. 

Funny I remember these same debates from the 80s and 90s, as I was growing up, but even in my ultra conservative community, free speech was still something of a sacred cow. Our social commentary books would flipflop on whether  "obscenity" was protected speech or not, especially when you consider how saucy and explicit the Bible, religious literature, classic literature, Shakespeare, older pulpy novels, etc. could get. What about classic art? PLENTY of nudity and violence there. How do you even define obscenity, outside of stuff that's clearly nonconsensual (among other obvious things)?

On that note, certain states have also been trying to also ban mail-in abortion pills, which is basically impossible unless you inspect EVERY piece of mail THOROUGHLY. Besides the fact that it's illegal for obvious reasons, I couldn't imagine the ABSOLUTE COST AND TIME BOONDOGGLE of trying to inspect all 333 million people's mail (physical AND e-mail) every single day in this country. And like you touch on, you would also SOMEHOW have to win a court case against foreign companies (who sell these pills) who have no interest in complying with your government.  Especially since, unlike marijuana, abortion is NOT federally illegal (pot gets really weird with state laws too, on that note). Good luck with that, government!

EDIT: Also reminded me of a saying I once heard in (ironically) far-right groups over a decade ago: "I don't agree with those things you're saying but I will fight to the death to ensure you HAVE the right to say those things."

Ironic because Columbus Day was made to be a positive to Italian Americans during a time of racism towards them.Honestly there are tons of better Italians that could’ve been used as a symbol for Italian Pride during this time.

Exactly,

Italian dub themes are a gift from the lord and should be a symbol of national pride for them.
