The leftwing corporate media is eager to pick up on sex education books that get banned in various school districts, but oddly enough they don’t seem to notice the other books that are being removed from the shelves.
Toronto’s Catholic school board has banned from its classrooms all books by non-Black authors that contain the racist slur known as the N-word.
Since September, the policy has forced the removal of familiar literary classics from high school curricula, such as Of Mice and Men. Other books that would be caught in the ban include Lord of the Flies, a common high school classic, and Gone with the Wind, less so.
What’s really interesting is seeing what kind of mental pretzels supporters can create in order to rationalize this idiocy.
….the teacher might be good at explaining, and they might be politically aware, but will the child know and understand and appreciate? Or will English class feel like humiliation, re-inscribing the ugly language of racism on the modern high school student?
“We can’t take that chance,” James said.
Implied is that BLACK authors who write racist words … will NOT be banned. Yeah, that makes sense given their mealy-mouth explanation…
A library full of nothing but black author’s material will be a fairly small place.
Need to erase history to make the new narrative fit.
I’m guessing that Tom Sawyer was already long gone…
The Adventures of Huckleberrry Finn would have gone first, as the entire book is about Huck and N-Word Jim.
“To defuse this, the municipal council of Winkler, Man., last July appointed two members to the library board, and passed a resolution instructing them to “exert influence … to create policy whereby graphically sexually explicit books be moved from the children’s section to another section of the library as appropriate so that children will not stumble across them but they remain available to parents who wish to use them as an educational resource.””
someone explain which groomers decided that sexual explicit books belong in the childrens section to begin with…

Take a look at some of the words/characters in the book
Dammit, there goes another Mark Twain.
What has our education system become when teachers and school boards live in abject terror of words?
Just teach the communist manifesto and some simple racist arithmetic, that’s all that will be required of the sheeple anyway.
The elites will send their kids to private school, where they will learn all about how to keep the rest of us down.
They were known as book burners and the objects of much hatred from the left.
My my, how times have changed.
The left is always about the nuance of life. Yet they do one hell of a job of erasing it, starting with the kids.
They are either evil or so fing stupid they can’t help it.
My grandmother called her longtime cleaning lady, Bea … a “colored woman”. Should I strip her name off her crypt??
I’d wait on that. I’m still negotiating my current status with the Overlords. They keep calling me “white.” But, so help me, I think I’m more of a beige. Let’s get that ironed out first. 😀
Ummmm…in response I have forwarded a letter to my local grocer asking that the cracker aisle be banned. Waiting on a response.
Ray Bradbury.

Nurturing and incubating mindless snowflakes means keeping words away from them that require the differentiation of good and evil, historical fact and fiction, reality and fantasy….Home schooling, vouchers, small private schools, online alternatives, charter schools etc need to flourish enough to remove the dead hand of the post modern state from the minds of your children and grandchildren.
Stiks n stones…
The koran is as liable to be banned, based on disgust and bullshite.
So is the charter of rights.
We’re victims of lying, thieving, elected pos.
