That some parents and politicians were trying to limit other young people's understanding of such issues as racism was concerning to her.

Guess we can't ban Mein Kampf from school curricula or libraries. That would be limiting young people's understanding of racism!

The problem these people have isn't that students' understanding is being limited. They have been making such choices about what is and isn't allowed for years. The problem is that it's being done by the wrong people and we can't have that.

formed in response to a growing push from the right to control what titles young people have access to

Bull fucking shit. It isn't exactly difficult to get a hold of a copy of any of these books. It isn't about controlling access, it's about not teaching and endorsing these materials.

Mein Kamph ACTUALLY gets banned, by countries.

What they are calling "banned books" is simply not letting teachers force shit on to the students.

That should be obvious but apparently not. For instance why would a Christian/Muslim/Jewish/etc parent want their kids to be taught lgbt lessons? This goes for anything. If I were white I’d get pretty sick of hearing about how I’m responsible for things that happened long before I was born with no larger perspective about the history of the world in general.

Why should an atheist want their kids to be taught lgbt lessons? Outside of progressive religious prescripts, it is self-evident that child grooming and promotion of hedonistic sexual impulses are detrimental to any society.

in retrospect, it's easy to see the signs now of how faggotry was to overtake atheism. every conversation slowly became about how the poor oppressed faggots were being hurt by the big bad mean christians.

you still couldn't call out the muslims actually killing fags though.

No, the signs were always there.

Most of us were simply too naive and trusting. We believed that the version of reality presented was real, albeit having never experienced it ourselves. Others has, surely, and they all can't be lying, right?

I consider it one of my greatest shames to have been misled for a time into /r/atheism type nonsense. Though I know that mistakes are often required for growth, it still is shocking how effective such propaganda is.

GamerGate will always be the premier of social bullshittery, however atheism+ was just as incredible for how blatant it was. And guess what? In the end atheism+ basically won by simply refusing to exist and toeing the party lines.

I think people in general need a more rigid education in propaganda tactics and ideological subversion. In my daily life I try to teach people what I can but that conditioning is so difficult to break. Sadly most seem to KNOW that their reality and belief structures are lies, but they don't care because they BELIEVE they're on the winning team.

im from a mostly atheistic but still conservative family , a lot of these so called atheists always struck me as just being people that were bitter about their strict christian parents or something and so do everything to get back at them. Not true atheists who look at things objectively

I was just giving an example. But yes the schools waste so much time on pointless matters that students could learn when they get older.

An atheist?

Probably to help destabilize social order. His own child being offered up at the sacrificial altar is of no consequence.

To Kill a Mockingbird was banned by the left recently. Wikipedia and Silicon Valley tech are all about book burning, but digitally.

It's the friend-enemy distinction again. Burning enemy books is simply being a good person. Burning friend books is a violent assault. The obvious power disparity is irrelevant.

And just because something isn't on the curriculum doesn't mean it isn't allowed. It could still be available in the school library, for instance, or be allowed by a teacher asking for book reviews of the student's choice.

They want "banned", then they ought to see what happened to Song of the South.

Why can’t schools just teach reading, writing, and arithmetic? I’m against book banning in the actual sense but I hate this hand wringing when they want to push garbage like CRT or lgbt propaganda and a large number of parents push back. I’m at the point of saying if you are that obsessed with race or lgbt stuff then go to the library or buy the books yourself and read all you want.

Incidentally, haven’t some corporations banned books that don’t preach the trans message?

Marxists see any activity or expenditure of resources that isnt promoting marxism as evil.

Its literally current year. There is absolutely no amount of banning possible to keep even a retarded kid from finding a book if they want to read it. I think we might have had 1-2 books total per year in my public school education, and we won't run out of "dumb schlock english teachers think is deep" any time soon.

Banning books in the last two decades has always been about them getting caught trying to indoctrinate and losing their toys.

I would love to have a banned book club feature The Turner Diaries.

This is honestly the only book I can think of besides Mein Kampf that would cause a leftist, if he recognized the book, to get super triggered.

Speaking of "banned books" You guys ever see the list of Red Flag Books that Female Dating Strategies tells women to stay away from guys who have these books?

Some of my favorite mentions:

Thus Spoke Zarathustra - Nietzsche
The 48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene
Meditations - Marcus Aurelius
Revolt Against the Modern World - Julius Evola
Bronze Age Mindset- Bronze aged pervert
The New Encycopedia of Modern Bodybuilding - Arnold Schwarzenegger
The Rational Male- Rollo Tomassi
12 Rules for Life- Jordan Peterson

And and... wait for it...

Guys to watch out for if they follow on social media:

This list is of course coded language for, "These are the men you should give up your principles to sleep with."

"The reason these books are being banned are the reasons why they should probably be read," the 14-year-old said she was thinking at the time.

Now do conservative voices in big tech. You know, before your myocarditis kicks in.

Hell, do Culture of Critique. Let's see that in a public school library.

– OldBullLee 1 point 3 years ago +1 / -0

The refutation of the argument against the removal of books from public school libraries and lesson plans is simple. If parents organize and demand the removal of, say, the works of Ibraim Kendi, nothing prevents parents and students who are so inclined from borrowing them from public libraries or buying them wherever it is one buys his books these days.

At issue is what morals and values parents want to impart to their children. Most parents of public school children could not care less, but those that do should have input.
