Book Banning 2022- why?

[ll74]

Why the fuck are people banning books in 2022?

I agree it is a problem. I am reasonably confident that Professor J. Philippe Rushton's essay, "Race, Evolution, and Behavior" could not be taught in high school.

The idiots behind the banning of books are morons who don't know how to use the intertubes.

 

[Dribble]

If a person can't read...or comprehend what they read...it is easier to ban those books instead of teaching yourself the skill of reading

The right loves to cancel things.

Is there a list of newly banned books?

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

The right loves to cancel things.

Then why is it that the Left has embraced that which is quaintly referred to as the woke cancel culture? There's a whole range of people on the Left who got surprised and canceled by their own culture for the most innocuous of imagined transgressions to the cause. This type of purging political behavior was well-outlined by Ayn Rand in "We the Living."

That has nothing to do with book banning. That is education selection.

Oh, I see. The exception proves the rule. Maxine Waters proves that Democrats are lunatics. I can see that.

No, you don't see. You deflect

Because the right needs a boogeyman to use as a weapon against American voters.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

Did you see that this highly conservative enclave is also hostile to recreational vehicles? It seems to me, looking over their demographics that the people who would be most offended by those things, tend not to live there but in the more "reasonable" population centers controlled by Democrats who do equal one-sided things with their laws and rules.

And yet emerging tenor of this thread is seemingly predicated on the idea of a right-wing boogie man (persons) book ban.

You are desperately trying to make this about the party you hate

I think it's more of a evangelical thing rather than a party.

Where did you pick that up from? And why would you support a politician who wants to keep children ignorant?

Evangelicals aren't a party.

 

[Rotadom]

Evangelicals aren't a party.

Neither are AntiFa and BLM but that doesn't stop the manufactured outrage.

 

[Sh1ne0n67]

Evangelicals aren't a party.

Indeed. As in the following post's mentions, are not these groups identified with certain parties by just about everyone including them? Do you see a lot of BLM Republicans? AntiFa Republicans? Log Cabin Republicans maybe. But Democrat Evangelicals?

How do you feel about a very large section of the right believing in a ghost in the sky for political guidance?

I doubt you will find books by Professor J. Philippe Rushton, Jared Taylor, and Charles Murray in school libraries. That is book banning.

Go to a library and find out. At this point you're just assuming.
