This happened in Athens GA.

Not Atlanta.

It’s a college town for UGA.

Facebook banned me for 7 days. Last Friday I was supposed to be allowed back in.
They asked if I thought they were being unfair.

You must be a masochist.

I joined facebook around the end of 2009 when it had round 500 million members world wide, and 130 million in the US/Canada

It seemed like a good idea at the time, to exchange news, share photos among family and friends. I lasted 2 months before reality hit me, and I canceled. Life is too short and keeping control of total strangers thinking I cared what they had for breakfast or how many thousands of "friends" they had didn't interest me in the least. Cleaning up the mess wasn't worth the time.

Internet and computer speeds has made the internet the preferred means to communicate with family and friends, to send and receive photos and documents, or just to chat. The kiddies and other zombies can have Facebook.

Has a website been crated yet keeping track of how many cell-phone zombies are run over and killed each day by cars, motorcycles, bicycles, trucks, busses, commute trains, freight trains, tugboats ferries and oil tankers while texting?

Not that I care, just curious.

This country has gay fatigue. That's a lefty tactic so the opposing view gives up and it becomes another new normal.

I will be pragmatic. There is a reason why there are those who want to shield children from Homosexuality and its various tentacles of sexual depravity and why the left and other sex obsessed activists want it in America's face 24/7 especially the children. I will now be a realist. The left will never find middle/common ground on anything.

Exactly. You are 100% correct. And it appears that is exactly what happened. I wonder why there is any controversy over it.

It is stated that the Athens Academy is a private school.

This is exactly why Russia made that anti-homo recruiting/teaching law that freaked out Obama and Hillary.

What anti-homo teaching/recruiting law was that? I must have missed it.

I must have been among the first American citizens to blatantly practice sedition and treason, between 2007 and 2017, before it became trendy and fashionable.

I firmly believed that had Putin run for U.S. president, he would have beat the Kenyan Manchurian Candidate...
I know I would have voted for Vlad. At least he invariably puts his country first! What a country!

“Avid Bookshop gets huffy when they get caught pushing their radical agenda at a private school.”

Pert of the problem is the deliberately Procrustean bed that FB offers to people marking articles as not wanting to see. One of the few options is the generic “It’s spam.” People might pick that because the other options don’t describe quite what they think they don’t like, and hey spam is just generic bad material, so what the hey, bam it’s Spam.

My point was that it has become big news here in Atlanta.

It’s a has been private school in Athens, used to be THE place to send your kids but now far superseded by Prince Avenue Baptist Church and school, where Kirby Smart, head football coach at UGA sends his kids.

>>for children ages 3 to 9

Shouldn’t be selling the homosexual lifestyle to small children. It used to be called corrupting a minor.

I live there too.
Not everybody knows that Athens is not close to ATL.

Still haven’t see much coverage.
But then again, I don’t have a facepage either.
