As wall-to-wall coverage of Vladimir Putin’s violent rape of Ukraine continues unabated, I made an executive decision to take a break and go in search of other examples of the insanity that surrounds us.
The search was brief.
The left protests against Florida’s legislation that bans teachers from discussing homosexuality and transgenderism in classrooms, as I reported Thursday. “Shockingly,” among those opposed to the legislation is White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who ridiculously referred to the bill as “discriminatory,” “bullying,” and “horrific.”
Now, let’s compare and contrast.
An assistant principal at a Mississippi school has been fired for reading a children’s book titled “I Need a New Butt!” to second-graders. Toby Price, NBC News reported that he was given the task of setting up a Zoom course for children at Gary Road Elementary school in Byram. He was instructed to read to the children a book after the principal did not show up to class as scheduled. The funny book was about an alcoholic. butt.

Here’s how “I Need a New Butt!” is described by Amazon:
“A silly story that will cause boys and girls to giggle from beginning to end!” — Norman Public Schools
A young boy suddenly notices a big problem — his butt has a huge crack! The boy sets out to get a new butt. Is he going to choose an armour-plated butt or a rocket butt? What about a rocket butt? Robot butt? This quirky tale about a tail features funny rhymes and charming illustrations. Children and parents will love this book — no ifs, ands, or butts about it!
“I can assure you right now that your kids will love this book. They will giggle, they will laugh, and they will want this book to be read over and over again because it is just plain silly and funny … the perfect kid-combo.” — Storywraps
Anyway, Price told NBC News he wasn’t planning on reading a book, but the principal told him to do so. He also explained why he chose “I Need a New Butt!”
I text my boss, [and] she said, ‘Well, go ahead and read.’ I wasn’t planning on reading, but I went ahead and grabbed one of my books that I had nearby. This is one of my favorite books. I read it: ‘I Need a New Butt!’ It’s hilarious.
Price also told NBC he had read the “fun, silly book” at his previous school, and “never had an issue with it.” Unfortunately — on multiple levels — his soon-to-be-former school took issue with the book, telling Price it was inappropriate because it used words like “butt” and “fart,” and included cartoon images of a child’s butt.
The humanity of it all! To be safe, perhaps Mr. Price ought to have taken a class in critical race theory.
According to NBC affiliate WLBT, the superintendent of the Hinds County School District wrote in Price’s termination letter that he showed “a lack of professionalism and impaired judgment” when he picked the book. These were the reasons he was fired.
I’m not going to get into an argument about #whataboutism. As we saw at the top, left-wing loons lose their left-wing crap when schools are banned from indoctrinating small kids about all things sexual orientation or so-called gender selection, yet let a school official read a “fun, silly book” to the kiddies, and all hell breaks loose.
Price told NBC News the school’s reaction was unwarranted, adding “there are other books that have much more suggestive material that is much more widely accepted.”
Price would do it again knowing the facts now. You bet — and he told NBC News why.
If I had to do it all over again, I’d still share the silly, funny books with the kids, because they need them. The world’s a serious, harsh, dark place, and everybody needs a little bit of silly and a little bit of laughs every now and then. They just need that reminder that it’s not all bad all the time.
Amen, Mr. Price. Furthermore, it is as hypocritical as the hell the world of the Left. We didn’t know that.
