You know this.

Except for shielding young kids from graphic violence or sex, there should be NO restrictions on what ANYONE reads---PERIOD.

People who ban or burn books are craven cowards who know thinkers will not accept their ignorance.

That's funny.

It considers itself a thinker. i'm reminded of Star Wars episode 1 The Phantom Menace (which is still better than any of the disney garbage) :

"You almost got us killed. Are you brainless?" QJ

"I spake." JJB

"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." QJ

Seems to fit as far as i can see.


JJB...Jar Jar...Biden.  :lmao:

As DUmmies often do, Flatus failed to look in the mirror before posting his sweeping proclamation, :lmao: . Does anyone really believe Flatus disagrees with threatening publishers with boycotts or employees quitting if some conservative's book is published? Does anyone really believe Flatus disagrees with threatening stores with boycotts if some conservative's book is sold there? Does anyone really believe Flatus disagrees with bookstore employees hiding conservatives' book is wrong sections so as to sabotage sales? Does anyone really believe Flatus disagrees with Libs and Progs who turn conservatives' books back to front on shelves to make those books less easy to find?

All of which DU-folk have urged or done?

In Prog Free Speech Suppression 102, we'll discuss Progressive use of violence and threats to suppress conservative speakers' speeches and presentations and Progs' astroturfed campaigns against conservatives radio hosts' advertisers. For extra credit we'll have a mini-seminar case studies of Prog boycotts against Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and My Pillow products.

Glad we agree on something.  So you are good with removing these books from school libraries, right?

As Brown ranted about the book - which is not being used in classroom instruction - board member Patsy Jordan cut her off.

'Excuse me, excuse me, we have children at home. It's live streaming, and it's really not appropriate for you to read that,' Jordan said.

'Don't you find the irony in that?' Brown shouted, at one point smacking the lectern. 'You're exactly saying exactly what I'm telling you! You're giving it to our children! I would never give this to my children!'

Nah, Flatus wouldn't agree with that, either. DU-grade Progs' only real "principle" is, "What I want".

What about Doctor Seus books that the left banned for racism... oh oh Uncle Tom's Cabin banned by the left for the same reason?  Gone with the Wind and all books about the south that you DUchebags demanded be banned?

Damn DUmmys are really DUmb.

Dummie non-intelligence aside, I would think that kids who frequently hear and/or utter F-bombs, Sh-words, C-, P-, and etc.-words do not have ears too tender to hear/read the N-word in literary contexts that demonstrate the stupidity and ugliness of racism?

And who gets to be the arbitrator of what is what?

Here in NC, I *think* Raleigh, a school district had some books that were so over the top sexually, they couldnt show the pages of said book, on the local tv news. But they were ok to have in the school libraries for the little ones to peruse.  :mad:
