Religion is like a hammer. It's useful only if you need one.God is a belief, but Evolution is rock solid science. Adam and Eve and Noah`s Ark are children`s stories.

There are no banned books in this country.
Why do you idiots think the only place to get a book is from a school?
Who needs to go to a brick and mortar library anymore?

I think that was the point, but I'm not sure "libs" were behind the maj of those book bans, but I'm not so sure about bans of LoR or 1984, and I read the first 3 in HS .. the first time. Mockingbird was banned are recently as 2017 here as is made some "uncomforrtable" with race and sex.Why do you act like book bans are a new thing? Several books that either faced bans and / or challenges include: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Catcher in the Rye, Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn .. The Lord of the Rings tribology, 1984 ... and many many more .. and it isn't limited to the GOP. I suggest you do some research before making baseless accusations.
and I'll say it againA teacher was removed after sharing this QR code for students to get banned books.
As mass hysteria continues to target American students’ access to information in books, there’s some particularly disheartening news coming out of Oklahoma this week. Wendy Suares, an a…lithub.com
Wendy Suares, an anchor at KOKH FOX 25, reported on Twitter that a teacher at Norman High School in Norman, Oklahoma, was fired for speaking to students about the Brooklyn Public Library’s initiative to make books—especially frequently-challenged books—accessible to students around the country. She also shared the above QR code from the library, which leads to more information about the project, Books Unbanned.
I’ll say again. Banning books at school. Banning ideas at college.
Yes. I heard you.and I'll say it again

Anyone can read any book they want. Why is it you think government schools are the only places you can get a book?
True – the consequence of the kids on the right.The US descends further into ridicule.
I agree.The whole “parental choice” movement believes they can use the school system to enforce their will on the entire community.
It’s insane.
How is it tit for tat retaliation? It is a religious overreach. I also can’t comment on Birth of a Nation, I had heard about it and didn‘t ever think it was worth the time. I agree with your assessment of Huck Finn.I couldnt support that.
There is a mini uproar ovver Mice and men over here. Kids saying the language makes them feel uncomfortable. I havent read it so I cant comment.
My daughter read it when she did her exxams at 16. It didnt really affect her but then she is an intelligent person with educated parents..
With Huck Finn the language can be bad but Twains heart is in the right place.It would be impossible to teach American lit without reading the book.
If you look at Birth of a Nation the creators heart is not in the right place.Its just a racist polemic.
Thats the difference for me.
Banning the Bible isnt going to affect any kids. They are unlikely to read it anyway. But its just a tit for tat retaliation.
Time would be better spent protecting the books that kids should be reading. Like The Life of Rosa Paks.
Ever read The Sot Weed Factor, or Crying of Lot 49?Huck Finn is the great American novel.
You think they do this because they're taught to?not what I asked,, as youve said ,, kids should be taught to be bisexual not teens,,'
and whats your cut off on teens?? 13 or 18 before you teach them how to have gay sex or castrate and mutilate their genitals??
It is about fucking time. You can't be allowed to show children such filth while arguing for a purity test in their name for anything you don't like. It doesn't work that way.
the person I was responding to thinks it,,You think they do this because they're taught to?
Are these your words?the person I was responding to thinks it,,
13 or 18 before you teach them how to have gay sex or castrate and mutilate their genitals??
youre going to have to clarify your question,,Are these your words?
Are the particular words I posted yours?youre going to have to clarify your question,,
please lets not ask stupid questions,,,Are the particular words I posted yours?
Name the books that are banned. Last I heard, Florida is banning certain books that are either based on lies, half-truths, or adult sexuality from public schools. They aren't being banned in the broader sense. Try to be honest. Presenting false information makes you look bad.
You’ve abandoned all common sense because you’re banning books that merely acknowledge the existence of gay people and the existence of institutional racism.
So when did you become a racist homophobic shit ?
