    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.

    They are not going to have much time for reading. They are waaaaaaaaaay to busy studying about the 300 genders that CA now has on its list.

    When I was a kid learning to read, we had Alice and Jerry books. They need to be banned because they promote stereotypical gender roles. They don’t celebrate diversity. Can’t have that.

    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.
