Book Banning Follies

Shaken, not stirred!
Okay, that neo-fascist corporate types along with fringe conservative evangelicals have been trying for decades to ban George Orwell's 1984. But I just heard that Madeleine L'Engle's "A Wrinkle in Time" is on one state's or city's ban list.

If that's true, then WTF?!?! There's nothing in that book that is remotely promoting gay sexuality in any shape or form. It's not anti-religion nor is it anti-democratic. So I would REALLY be interested in the "reasoning" behind putting this book on the list.

Other than that, I personally have no problem with the removal of books from grade school library shelves that have overtly sexual content of any preference. High school kids, however, should start getting use to the real world.

Just for the record, so I can quote you later, please tell me whether you recognize that you are describing the Democrat party and their corporate backers, e.g. Google, Amazon, Kubernetes, Microsoft, Facebook, Snapchat, etc...

Just for the record, so I can quote you later, how do you imagine "evangelicals" pertaining to the above groups?

Let's say that I don't believe you. Why should any rational adult believe that you are speaking the truth? Can you cite a major evangelical group that has published such a position?

It has never been banned anywhere. Only dishonest leftists make stupid claims that it is somehow heavily banned as a pretext for bashing Christians, usually evangelicals.

When you find out that it's not true, are you going to apologize to Christians?

Are you a Christian? Do you deserve an apology?
 
Once you have the OK to ban books, you will find low-level operatives pushing their decisions on the masses. That is a blueprint for crazies to control us all. Books do not hurt people. In order to ban them, they have to read them. Therefore they are wrecked people and should not qualify to ban.

Not quite....books that detail how to organize for a race war like "The Turner Diaries", or books that blatantly advocate race, class or religion hatred, adult sex with minors and misogyny should be banned in school libraries. Books that give critical analysis of such topics should not.

Are you claiming that I somehow respond to your posts? That's absurd. Show me one example.

People who hate and want violence will find all the backing they need online. I doubt they read books. They are banning classics because they do not know what the books say. Give me a list and I will go to the school board meetings and raise hell.

I would say that you're partially right because when you have these town hall or school board or PTA meetings on this, there are always the jokers (true zealots, fanatics, believers, etc.) who will read the material and cite exactly what they are complaining about. I would say the followers are as you point out.

The more people who show up and raise hell, the less power these cretins have. Good on ya!

You and yours are the people that tell the SS about your neighbors not getting the covid shot in the hopes that your neighbors will be sent to Auschwitz and you can steal their property.

The way I see it is if someone with a penis can actually be a woman because they "feel" like a woman then any fucking book can be banned for any reason or no good fucking reason at all. Just because someone doesnt like the first fucking word.

Oh, Guillermo, Guillermo, Guillermo! :palm:

Why do you babble like a MAGA moron instead of just conceding that you really don't have a rational, logical counter to the OP. Seriously, you're becoming more and more troll like with each encounter. If I get under your skin that much, then just put me on "ignore" or just don't respond to or at me. Jeez!

That is a special kind of stupid, even for rights on this far-right board.
