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

[armadei]

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.

What is your people's OBSESSION with promoting sex to children?

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.

Mature heads prevailed.

Propaganda 101.

I can't agree --- I can think of two books immediately that overturned my whole worldview, and where I was sitting at the time I read them! (Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, and the Reverend Malthus's book on the English corn rents --- it's the one where he says all forms of life increase until stopped by the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, basically.)

But I can't approve of grossly dirty, horribly traumatic books like that awful "Beloved" by Toni Morrison being assigned as required reading!!! That's just child abuse, really. I don't think books should be banned, but certainly should not be required if traumatizing. For one thing, it is sure to put a lot of people right off reading. I can remember a number of seriously disturbing books I read as a child ----- Mark Twain, for instance, is NOT a safe writer, whatever you think if you've only read Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer. That's on me, because I read freely, if too young, and I can't blame the schools for that.

Pretty interesting that the school board is so history-challenged that they wanted to make a big book-burning party of it. It's been done before: May 10, 1933.

Blow it out your fat lying degenerate ass.

Try buying a copy anywhere.

Correct. Mulberry Street: They banned my first book. By refusing to publish them anymore. And other favorites I've read hundreds of times. Nice, huh?

 

[surada]

This porn hustling shit, from the fascist assholes who cancelled And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street.

The Nazis were big on book burnings..

Meanwhile Republicans have gone after Sesame Street and want to defund PBS.

Aren't you proud?

 

[Circe]

Mark Twain too

True -----------------------------------------------

But I bet you are thinking of "that word" in Huckleberry Finn. Which is just unsophisticated enough that it's silly.

I am thinking of ---- never mind, still don't like to think about it. One of his titles was "A Pen Warmed Up in Hell" --- yeah. He was not safe. We think Twain was a children's writer, but he was not safe. One of my very favorites, but now I know what stories to avoid.

Four horsemen of the Apocalypse? Like during the tribulation when the Christians fled to Pella?

I responded to a specific post and get past ever trying to dictate to me,, clown

My reply to you was to point out how you were wrong.

Too bad you can't accept truth.

He was generalizing...of course you're too dense to grasp that.

You're really not a very bright individual

 

[eagle1462010]

So why not just Hustler. Penthouse. And all the other porn books and get the teachers to autograph them or something.

Well hell lets just have them do it right in front of the kids.

Those books have no business in the school just like the other porn books shouldn't be there.

LEFTIST LUNATICS need to be all locked up in California and then throw away the key.

 

[Coyote]

It's all because we stopped executing traitors 70 years ago. They can take shot after shot with no consequences

How fascist of you.

 

[Coyote]

These are among the books Republicans want to burn…how are they smut?
