I am not in the press so I will say it.the obsession with images over text is because the christofascist cult does not or cannot read anything with an acceptable level of comprehension

I’m not sure I agree … we are a reading house but I have been much more cautious with visual (especially AV) content compared to writing because I think visual (and somewhat less aural) content goes into your brain in ways than semantic (reading) content. When you read your mind constructs imagery out of your own previous experience, it can’t create new experience or imagery out of nothing. But visual imagery is itself a kind of experience that can be wholly novel, and can adversely affect young minds that aren’t ready, imho. Words that kids aren’t prepared for tend to just be confusing, obscure, or opaque to them.
Having said that, there is nothing in the ‘scare images the GovofAB is showing around that high school students aren’t prepared for, and they have never demonstrated that those images were available to younger students. Images don’t just jump out of books and attack kids.
