Banning and Burning Books is the First True Sign of Fascism. So Who Does That?

[SmokingFap]

It's absolutely un-shocking that MAGA is trying to remove and/or burn every single book that makes them uncomfortable.

The Bible, one of the most horrific books in history, is, of course, untouchable, according to the slavish Right.

But heaven forbid a non-disciple mention a blowjob...

A book full of dry pages is a treasure to someone trying to start a fire with wet wood. As the population becomes less literate, uses for books will change.

Appeals court tells Texas it cannot ban books for mentioning ‘butt and fart’

Wiener wrote how a dissenting opinion from the Donald Trump appointee Kyle Duncan “accuses us of becoming the ‘Library Police,’ citing a story by author Stephen King”.

“But King, a well-known free speech activist, would surely be horrified to see how his words are being twisted in service of censorship,” wrote Wiener, who was appointed during George HW Bush’s presidency.

The book banning loons would probably like to ban the judge because his name is “Jack Wiener”. Smut!

the American Library Association found that Texas made the most attempts in the US to ban or restrict books in 2022. In total, the state made 93 attempts to restrict access to more than 2,300 books.

A book about banned books has been banned by the book-banners in Floriduh.

Gratz’s book, which came out in 2017, follows fourth-grader Amy Anne Ollinger as she tries to check out her favorite book. Ollinger is told by the librarian she cannot, because it was banned after a classmate’s parent thought it was inappropriate. She then creates a secret banned-books library, entering into “an unexpected battle over book banning, censorship, and who has the right to decide what she and her fellow students can read”.

If you're not allowed to know, you have Freedumb!

Conservatives don't want to ban books that offend them much less burn them. Conservatives just don't want certain books in school libraries. They don't want drag queens reading to children in the school library either.

I guess that means Matty G won’t be reading.

Yeah, but since when is the left honest?

They still claim Trump is anti immigrant and wants to deport all immigrants. They conveniently leave out the 'illegal' part, and ignore all his pro immigration statements and positions.

The time is now. It's time for the American people, real men, to saddle up, to go on the march. It's time to go into the public libraries, to go into these public schools and rip the filth off of these shelves and destroy it. To remove it from the face of the planet for all of eternity, to turn it to ash, and every time it's reprinted, we do it all over again."

Peters went on to call on his supporters to gather books they deem inappropriate and bring it to an event in New Jersey later this year when they will "kill it with fire."

Books are an antiquated means of conveying ideas and opinions that people like Lit dwellers can regurgitate in order to appear enlightened. Most of the ideas in books are merely someone's opinion. How about coming up with your own ideas and truths.

Actually, the left and wokeness has led to more books being banned and removed from libraries than ever before.

 

[glamorilla]

this is not only bad for children it's bad for gay men. the ones who take the blame when the "tqia+" wants to fuck kids while helping deranged liberals steralize kids and make money selling all this shit to schools.

I love blow jobs.

I just don't want to discuss them with underage schoolchildren.

I'm sure you have some kind of evidence of that claim, right? And not just some freelance writer on Breitbart giving the same opinion?

so you know nothing of the subject.
