Desantis bans Paradise Lost by John Milton

[Tommy Tainant]

Do you understand that this is more than likely an attempt to cloud the issue.....?

How do you feel about Lawn Boy, Gender Queer and the actual books they are pulling out of the school libraries because they are chid porn?

I have never read those books. I have read Paraadise Lost. Why has it been banned ? It is the cornerstone of any decent library.

DeSantis didn't order it. Petulant left wing librarians made the decision probably with the intent of trying to embarrass the governor.

He should be embarressed. He is a knuckle dragging nazi.

Why should it not be available to children ?

Critical Queer theory is the reason it should not be available to children. If you were at all familiar with the Marxist long march into the institutions in America and now, the schools, it means that the teachers who the Critical Marxists taught in our universities are now teaching our children. They are teaching them Critical queer theory using SEL, and it all amounts to the use of the Marxist system of Queer theory to groom the children in an effort to alienate them for the purpose of increasing their acceptance as M.A.P.

Democrats believe books that depict sex acts, especially perverted ones, belong in public school libraries.

Americans know why.

MTG is RIGHT!

I think all books need to be removed from schools.....it won't be a ban because you can still get the books elsewhere....

Why don't you just leave thinking to people who are used to it?

Florida schools remove books by John Milton and restrict Shakespeare

Over 100 have been removed from school shelves, teacher says

www.independent.co.uk

Over 150 books have been removed from a large, Orlando-area Florida school district, including classics like The Scarlet Letter, Paradise Lost, and The Invisible Man, as school officials review materials for sexual content under the state’s restrictive book ban laws.

I am very rarely lost for words but this act of vandalism takes my breath away. I doubt that Ron Meatball has read it. I doubt that whoever complained about it has read it, much less understood it.

Parts of it are difficult, parts of it require a classical education to understand it. Its not something that you read on the beach or is likely to be made into a film.

For those unfamiliar with the work it is about the fate of Satan after he was cast out of heaven. It runs to 10 books of blank verse and was written by arguably the greatest poet in the English Language. Certainly the greatest Puritan poet.

He wrote it whilst he was blind and under fear of arrest by the restored Charles !!. More than just a poem it is a triumph of christian spirit.

Banning it is a perverse action. Denying people the right to read it is an act of a barbarian. In a better life there is no way the world of John Milton should collide with that of Desantis.

I also believe that it is an act that runs contrary to the American constitution. Paradise Lost is a signiificant christian work of art. If it isnt protected by America then America has no meaning.

The same little weasel has also banned Midummer Nights Dream and earlier this year a principal was fired for showing pix of David to an art class. How long before these people start burning witches ?

no books have been banned…more lies and propaganda from the demafasict

Democrats like to dress in drag and read books like "Lawn Boy" outloud to small children... and they really get into it...

So the right wingers worrying about what youngsters read, but don't give a damn how many youngsters are killed by guns in their schools.

 

[Catsnmeters]

lets see here,, which is more an affront to freedom of speech,,

desantis [protecting children from adult sexual content or biden wanting to use tech companies to silence opposition speech??

Odd deflection.

Make a thread.

 

[whitehall]

Do lefties really think the governor of Florida gave a list of banned books that included Milton? Hatred will lead you to stupid assumptions.

I have never read those books. I have read Paraadise Lost. Why has it been banned ? It is the cornerstone of any decent library.

Again....as we keep telling you, it wasn't banned.......the leftists on the school board took it off the shelves to pretend it was one of the books that were actually removed.....so people like you, who have no clue, would jump to conclusions......

The books that have actually been removed, with cause are Gender Queer, Lawn Boy and the other kiddie porn......that the school board is looking to obscure the fact those books are kiddie porn by taking the other books off the shelves is really disgusting...

Wow...that is a stupid post, and shows you don't know what you are talking about....

Post after post we tell you idiots how to make kids safer...but because it doesn't include banning all guns from normal people, you refuse to acknowledge that our ideas actually work....

 

[2aguy]

I know. I was wondering if he gives books like Lawn Boy the same pass?

He won't address that....tommy doesn't care about the actual issue....

 

[2aguy]

I have never read those books. I have read Paraadise Lost. Why has it been banned ? It is the cornerstone of any decent library.

Since you say you don't know what those books are, you obviously have no clue what this issue is about........but you feel free to comment on it from across the ocean......

Listen up, Tommy...Are those books actually banned in the state of Florida?
Or, are they just banned in the libraries at the schools?
It does make a difference, you know.

And those books aren't banned in those schools.......this is a political stunt by a left wing school board, taking those books and claiming they were banned.......all in the service of hiding Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, All Boys are blue, and the other openly child porn that parents found on the shelves...

Well I dont know what that has to do with Paradise Lost.
I can see that you are ignorant of the book. It was taught in schools before Marx was born. Before even the US was born. Do you want to try again ?

And how is it related to Paradise Lost ?
I can see that none of you right wing philistines have ever read it. Which is why you continue to deflect from the issue.
Read the rudest piece out of Paradise Lost. I dare you.
