Republican Book Bans

[finnbow]

Hundreds of dictionaries earmarked for donation from a Venice Rotary Club sit collecting dust, precluded from being given to Sarasota County students. Even dictionaries aren't safe from the Sarasota Schools book freeze.

One day before students returned to classrooms in North Texas, a school district ordered principals and librarians to remove books including the Bible and a graphic novel adaptation of Anne Frank’s “The Diary of a Young Girl” from libraries and classrooms.

So, these wingnuts are banning dictionaries, the Bible, and The Diary of Anne Frank? Feckin' ridiculous.

KELLER, TX—Calling the new policy a “necessary” safety measure, administrators from Keller Independent School District confirmed Friday that all students were now required to use clear bags in order to prevent them from bringing in books. “As we start the new school year, we’d like to remind students that all backpacks must be clear or mesh so that we can ensure you are not smuggling any educational materials onto campus grounds.”

First is for NRA $, the other red meat for the cult. They are ill educated to begin with, best to keep their children the same. When Trump proclaimed "I love the poorly educated", he had a plan. Guns for the masses, books in the trash bin. Surprised these wingnuts are not holding book burning ceremonies, why stop at pulling the books out of libraries.

This evil cult is playing the long game. Thinking tactics of generational in nature for their intent.

Knowing full well that even if they do loose the major battles will have brainwashed enough of the next generations with their propaganda indoctrination. That will influence the future enough to win the war to control the country.

Much like the way they attacked the courts the schools, education is under attack.

They want to rid the evil unions and public education in favor of privatized for profit religious based one.

I can not be the only person to see this "Woke" to eliminate any upsetting facts, under the fighting political correctness being taught. As if this itself is not being very politically correct by those wanting to charge now.

You are so right. I did not see the privatized education which will then morph into Christian madrassas circumventing the constitution.

So basically a ideology based cultural war where one ideology is well defined, the other side is murky and fear based with terms like "Woke" (I still don't really understand this), religious freedom, CRT (another term I don't quite get). Of course no science which I believe helps develop critical thinking or at least knitting of the eyebrows to look like an intellectual.

Wish to be so wrong.
Fear to be right.

This so vile cult running amuck, full of hate and uncaring forgiveness. Is in the process of rewriting the Establishment of the separation of church and state. To be one of a church run state!
