Teachers & Parents Rip Right-Wing School Board To Shreds For Suggesting A Public Book Burning

[Dana7360]

This is basically the follow up to the story a week or so ago about school board members who want to burn books.

This school board meeting took place after the news came out. This meeting had more normal and sane people attending.

The school board got an ear full and they deserved it.

The school librarian put it very well:

“If you have a worldview that can be undone by a novel, let me suggest that the problem is not the novel"

She is right. If your worldview is so flimsy that a book can undo it, the problem isn't the book.

In the end, you far right paranoid homophobes lost. The school board voted 5-2 to rescind the ban on " sexually explicit " books in the district.

Mature heads prevailed.

The same might be said of posting an opinion online but the tech barons ROUTINELY "burn" dissenting opinions. Book burning is ridiculous, ideological censorship is an abomination.

This may initially seem off topic but I do not believe it is. Both sides argued at different points that supposedly some meme's posted on Facebook were able to undo people's beliefs. Now my argument has always been that was B.S. as I would always ask those who claim this how theirs were changed and of course their wasn't, it was just other people but really, this view is far more pervasive than just a few on this school board.

Almost as ironically dissonant as "peace-keeper missile."

Try that again, in a language that loosely resembles English.

I think its a good idea. Liberal schools shouldn't have standards, and if they want to teach smut and have their school libraries buy subscriptions for Hustler, Juggs and Humongous Asses magazines, the angry parents are domestic terrorists if they disagree.

Separate the school systems. Enough of this. You do what you like and let others do what the like. The fact is , they will improve by your propaganda.

Yes, but don't CHILDREN have a very limited world view?

Dishonesty is the creed of the left.

A "flimsy worldview" is now opposing porn in children's libraries.

These cultural Marxist ***** are terrifying.

Whose world view are they talking about? Surely, they know that children have an inherently flimsy world view, right?

Do they ever speak the truth?

I'm at a loss at the board voted 5-2 to rescind the ban on sexually explicit material in school libraries.

What the hell
