Except the book contains n-words, sexuality and rape, and was banned 62 years ago ...
So once again... a bed of lies.

Schools in Burbank will no longer be able to teach a handful of classic novels, including Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, following concerns raised by parents over racism.

Middle and high school English teachers in the Burbank Unified School District received the news during a virtual meeting on September 9.

Until further notice, teachers in the area will not be able to include on their curriculum Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Theodore Taylor's The Cay and Mildred D. Taylor's Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.

This is from 2020.

stop lying.

and even if your were right (when would that ever happen? lol), they could just unban it.

Burbank banned it in 2020. The book contains n-words, sexuality and rape, because it reflects a real life that contains n-words, sexuality and rape. It is a story about civil liberties and racism in the south, the ambiguities and repressive culture around sexual behavior.
"Progressives" became so absurdly intolerant and regressive that emphatically anti-racism literature like Uncle Tom's Cabin and To Kill a Mockingbird became victims of "anti-racist" cancel mobs. Because the modern day woke liberal identifies with the mob sieging the courthouse, not Atticus Finch standing guard alone.

cities do all sorts of stupid things, states should know better. book bans are all around stupid. if you mix Styrofoam and gasoline u can make a primitive napalm.

if you mix butter, parsley, shallot, and garlic, it's delicious with snails.



sorry but this book was banned in 1962, not in the very last years, i may also add:

"Margaret Garner, an enslaved African-American woman who killed her child to spare them a life of slavery and has been banned and challenged in five US schools over the book's graphic mention of bestiality, rape, sex, and racism."

That's pretty much for a classroom, the removal was asked by parents, who were probably much more "conservative" than today.

Thus Newson is a fucker in any way.

True, but policies in cities or municipalities are often times the precursor for state-wide political trends. It's more easy for radical and/or fringe political movements to gain power in singular cities than a whole state - the things they enact on the municipal level are reflective of what the state (or the whole country) would have to expect if this faction ever got the power to enact their agenda.

This is particularly true in cases where a radical line of thought is making inroads and morphing from a fringe political movement into the mainstream. Case in point: the current woke movement whose ideology has increasingly become part of the mainstream in the Democratic party and the liberal media.

So I'm wondering how you think "banning books" works, in terms of logistics.
Do you have it in your head that when a book gets banned, the storm troopers raid everyone's houses and seize all copies of it and burn it in the city squares? And then we strictly prohibit printing any new copies and delete all archives and issue a damnatio memoriae so the only way it could possibly survive is by the human memorizers of fahrenheit 451? Because Burbank banned To Kill a Mockingbird from being taught in schools in 2020. Which was just a bit over a year ago. Clearly, some copies must have escaped the book burnings.

bit of confirmation bias at play here. most federal policies start as state policies. most state policies start as city policies. but most city policies dont climb to state level, just as most state policies dont climb to federal level. most of whats created dies right where it is.

what a party does on a city level is not indicative in a predictive manner of what the state or federal members of the same party would do, the responsibilities of both differ too much. city politics are almost entirely focused on the city, and leave most big picture things alone. we just hear about local BLM chapters yelling at a city council because its more entertaining than 10 hour meetings on 3 years of road construction projects.

Fine, it's true that most craziness which is tried out in some cities dies right there. But in the case of wokism/liberal identity politics/liberal cancel culture, this is clearly not the case. Like I said, the underlying ideology has already become part of the mainstream of Democratic thought, and it is set to become the mainstream of the liberal half of the political spectrum. Censoring a 60 year old, decorated, powerful anti-racism book because it inevitably has to portray racism (duh) is lunacy, but - and that's the key distinction - it's at the same time exemplary of the modern speech police and its rigid, dogmatic approach.

Ah y checked some and seems the novel was removed from classrooms in Virginia in 2016, it's hardly for kids. "absolute beyond parody" is meme fail, another short minded one triggered.


like i siad, it's a bad example, this book is for adults and contain extreme violence, sex, rape, bestiality etc...

did you see that 1984 was also on the table ? hf
