    Next there'll be burnings. Seems to me someone did that in the past....and it didn't end well. Now who was that?......hmmmm. I bet we could ask super smart Nazi Pelosi.

    Because they have black people in them, who aren't the main characters, are poor and, illiterate.

    That was the way things were when those books were written.

    Are you serious in thinking this is something new? How old are you? School districts all over the country have been banning or trying to ban those books at least since I was in school in the sixties.

    What I find amazing is that California Schools and Libraries once had yearly celebrations of Banned Books. Made a point to read them in spite of varied institutional bans for whatever reason whatever ideology.

    And now they join the no Offensive bandwagon, even if the offense is based on educational ignorance!

    This is stuff pushed by Critical Race Theory- derived from the Frankfurt School.

    It is meant to erase important contributions to Western culture and replace them with CRT approved messages.

    Banning books just makes people want to read them all the more.

    It's one of the most counterproductive things a school board can do. Now every kid with half a brain is going to find a copy.

    There are new rules about learning history if you don't like what happened. Cover your ears and say la la la la la la la la like a 6 year old.

    It took place in Statesboro, Ga. Right in the heart of Dixie in October 2019. Those Nazi's down there conducted a book burning. No need to ask Pelosi; see saved you a lot of work.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
