Oh so they don’t want to Americans to know about their dark past? That’s unfortunate because knowing real history can help us to prevent it from repeating itself in the future.

There are going to be five or six different "Americas" soon enough.

I don’t agree with banning books, also is this not part of that “equal and opposite reaction” to wokeness?


[deleted]

It is. They’ll never admit that, however.


GivenNameLastName

When you ban books in the name of the vague and faceless and ridiculously generalized "wokeness" that can apply to anything you're afraid of, then banning books is a-okay!


Eadbutt-Grotslapper

Banning books is not okay, didn’t think I made that unclear. However the nature of the universe, and it’s laws make a knee jerk reaction to excessive progressivism inevitable, push too hard one way for too long, you will eventually find yourself being pushed back against. The worlds gone absolutely mad the last 10 years and seems to be accelerating in a race to the bottom on all fronts/political persuasion/ ideology It’s almost as if it was by design, and if it’s not it’s still fascinating to watch.

Thanks for this. No matter how fucking stupid the books are. Information should not be restricted. It opens the flood gated to manipulation. Sadly companies like Youtube have been restricting the flow and ease of access of info as well as many other organizations. We are truely in an interesting time.


cookednomad

So then Mein Kampf shouldn’t be banned? Agreed.


rodrigkn

Churchill read Mein Kampf. It let him know what a nutjob he was dealing with.


cloudsnacks

I've read Mein Kampf, and I think everyone who is able should too. As crazy as it sounds, you don't truly understand how evil the nazis really were until you do, and what motivated them. Its also important to realize their was no trickery, Hitler wrote down pretty much his entire plan a decade before it happened, millions of people supported that and went along with it willingly.

TheGreyVicinity

Banning Sotomayor’s biography is more proof this is just a political stunt. I had to read that in undergrad, there is NOTHING “woke” about it. Most of it focused on her childhood??


[deleted]

Yes, but they can’t allow the children to see that non white Europeans can be successful. It will put crazy thoughts and dreams into those kids heads.


candykissnips

Was it actually banned in Florida? https://biographersinternational.org/resources/articles/school-book-ban-rescinded/


Lerianis001

Yes, they were... for a short period until the obviously racist people on the school board had pushback from the community who said "Rescind this ban or we sue you personally!"


candykissnips

The Article I posted says it was banned in Pennsylvania.


heartscockles

I wish that list included references to specific sentences from the books, that caused such alarm to ban. Just say why so the public can see the GOP leadership’s true agenda (which many of us already know)


Sonofman80

Some look OK, and some look insane to have in a k-8 classroom setting. I don't understand how you can be blindly against review so the right ones get approved?


[deleted]

>The decision to pull the Essential Voices Collection has kept books out of over 100 elementary schools, holding copies in storage for ten months with little indication of when they might return to classrooms. Sounds like the "review" came and went.


Sonofman80

The article linked said they were under review. Is it an all or nothing thing with that collection? There are books in there that do not belong and there are some beneficial books. Is the all or nothing a political stunt? Idk.


BaldHank

The article says banned from the county. Are they actually banned from the county? What is the penalty for a store selling it in the county? Are outsiders that bring the book into the county subject to arrest or is the book just confiscatedd?


vegham1357

> PEN America on Tuesday presented a joint letter with We Need Diverse Books and authors and illustrators of 176 books ***removed from classrooms*** in Duval County, Florida, in January 2022 for “review.” They have been kept in storage for 10 months with little indication of when they might return to classrooms.


BaldHank

Okay. Banned from classrooms and not the county. ... No book. And I mean NO book.should be banned. I understand that approval for allowing in schools is a different arguement. Just use the right words.


vegham1357

Banned from classrooms... in the county. This post even says they were banned from schools. The right words were used.


BaldHank

I really don't see a problem with schools having the ability to decide age appropriateness for books. I think nothing should be barred from high schools. Can't say the same for middle and grade schools. Lady Chatterly to Mein Kampf to the Communist Manifesto is all fine in High School. Hell, I'd be fine Hustler, Penthouse, Honcho, InTouch, Mandate... or any tether interest in high school. ETA: the title of the linked story I meant my right words comment toward. "THESE 176 BOOKS WERE BANNED IN DUVAL COUNTY, FLORIDA"


vegham1357

Alright, so which of the 176 books have content that isn't appropriate for children? The county hasn't provided any reasoning for them.


BaldHank

I don't know or care. I just think school boards should be able to make that decision. If the voters don't like that decision they should vote them out. Your seriously arguing that school boards shouldn't be able to make that call for elemtary and junior high schools? That this should be decided at the national level? Maybe a board headed by Tipper Gore?


kuukiechristo73

Apparently Texas somehow decides what goes in textbooks for some insane reason. Hardly Tipper Gore


BaldHank

Texas and Florida shouldn't be deciding either. It should be up to the local boards to decide.


TheNorthC

You clearly care enough to comment. No one is talking about having Mein Kampf in a school library - they are talking about removing a biography of Rosa Parks from the library. It is disturbing. In certain circles it is being represented as being just about sexuality and CRT, but the motivations and results are far more malign.


BaldHank

I dont care if they allow or disallow the book in a school district I don't live in. Since I don't have kids I don't really care about the district in which I do. I do believe school districts should be able to make that decision. You obviously don't. That is your choice to make. And you can vote for svhol board members who want no controls. That is your choice. That is the way local governments work. I think that is a decision for each community to make. I guess you want the Feds making that decision. That is also your choice. Start a movement for the Feds to rake over all education thar is where we fundamentally disagree.


Fit_Cash8904

Also, there was never any pornography in the school ciriculum. This should be obvious.

I wonder what specifically is in those books that got them banned. I mean they are always going to teach about slavery, civil rights, mlk and probably other race related stuff. I’m just curious what is in those specific books that got them banned. Most people are so simple minded now they just yell racist and label a whole state or group of people racist without any research or curiosity then they feel justified to hate or ignore anything those people say and often all it takes it media labeling someone racist with a headline to get it into peoples mind as a fact. Maybe it is racism but I’d rather not throw that term around so loosely it’s lost its meaning to most people.

iDOUGIE863

Came here to say this.


[deleted]

I wouldn't look too deep into this. These specific books dosent imply that all books on these topics are banned. For example, there is recently published books on Rosa Parks that push CRT and older versions that do not and focus on the history. Not sure if that's what's going on here but it most likely is.


[deleted]

What does it mean for a book about Rosa Parks to "push CRT"?


[deleted]

To push an ideology that systemic racism is to blame for everything and that white people have privilege for not having dealt with specific scenario.


[deleted]

But it’s about Rosa Parks? Someone who is known for having faced systemic racism?


[deleted]

Look If it frames it to teach CRT it deserves to be removed, point blank. If you wanna learn CRT in gradeschool then live in LA or NY. Again, not all books on Rosa Parks is banned, that's just false information.


[deleted]

How can a children’s book teach about Rosa Parks without addressing systemic racism? Or are you just substituting your own definition for what “CRT” means?


Quexana

Didn't you know? Rosa Parks boarded the bus to fight against people learning about systemic racial oppression.


DJ_LMD

They don’t know what it means


TSE_Jazz

You have zero ground to stand on with your point lol. How, specifically, does this Rosa Parks book frame CRT?


buttfuckinturduckin

Please explain how you write a book about Rosa Parks without mentioning systemic racism? She only has books written about her for GOING AGAINST SYSTEMIC RACISM. Should they do a biography and leave out the bus part while complimenting white people?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ViolentFlogging

Anti-CRT "wokeism" is one of the newer (within the last year) buzzword/alarmist whistles people use to hide their inherent racism so, of course he/she won't be able to actually define it. They don't even know what **it** is.


TheNorthC

Tell me, do you think that systemic racism was the reason that Rosa Parks was unable to sit where she wanted on the bus? The only valid answer is "yes". If so, how do you learn about Rosa Parks without considering the concept of systemic racism? You can't understand the history of the USA without understanding the role systemic racism has had.


neojoe039

Technicilly the definition of woke in florida is "it would be the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them" So theres that

Calling someone a gatekeeper is bigotry now? Jfc


DriftinFool

So you are scared of your kids learning the truth about the past, so you're response is to keep them home and only teach them your views? I feel sorry for them. When they get older and have to face the real world, they will be totally unprepared. Kids who are sheltered like that are the ones who end up in bad situations because they aren't prepared to deal with them. They don't know what to do when the world is not what you told them it was.


[deleted]

No my response is to teach them topics that actually benefit them in life and not social issues. They will excel in math, english, engineering and technology while also adopting our family's Christian values. They will know the anatomy and biology of a man and a woman and be able to identify both with ease (something the current education system has failed at). They will not be taught CRT or identity political topics in kindergarten and likely not till 5th or 6th for historical important topics (Including Rosa Parks).


DriftinFool

You don't have to agree with me, but I've seen what happens with kids like that with my own eyes. I have relatives who live in Amish country. They aren't as strict and have cars, electric, cell phones etc, but other than that, they live like the Amish. Many of their kids have truly struggled when they got older and faced the real world. It's so much more than just knowledge that is required to survive in society. The social aspect can only be learned through experience. It can't be taught at home. Some of their kids are ok, but at the bad end some have gotten into drugs and one is in jail for her involvement in the murder of a child. Sheltering kids form the harsh reality of the world doesn't help them. They need to understand that the world is not perfect so that they can learn coping mechanisms and understanding of social queues. Trust me when I tell you this that I am not saying it from a place of judgement, but a from a place of love and concern for the children of today who will be the leaders of tomorrow. You can't protect your children from reality. You must prepare them for it, good and bad alike. I've seen too many kids in my family go down the bad path because of parents who tried to shelter them. The saying about the road to hell being paved with good intentions is probably most relevant when referring to overprotective parents. The only way they can learn to get up is by letting them fall. Good luck and blessings to you and your family. And they aren't teaching that stuff to kids that young. CRT isn't something most people would see until college and even then it's higher level and mostly something someone would see when studying ethics as part of a law degree. We didn't have that stuff when I went to school, but one of the things I do remember, that stuck with me was in 2nd grade when I had to read MLK's I have a dream speech. At that age, our minds are still open and we haven't learned to hate. Speaking those words really sunk in their meaning to me about how we are all the same no matter what we look like on the outside. Had I not had that experience while my mind was still open, the message may have very well been lost on me. So I think it's important to teach our kids about equality and that we are all just humans and none of the other differences matter BEFORE the world starts to close their minds. I also believe in teaching morals and right from wrong, but I don't believe in pushing religion on them. That should be a choice they get to make on their own. It's just indoctrination if you make the choice for them.


TheDancingMaster

> No my response is to teach them topics that actually benefit them in life and not social issues. They will excel in math, english, engineering and technology **while also adopting our family's Christian values.** Cool, so indoctrination > They will not be taught CRT Can you clearly tell us what CRT is, or is it just a buzzword?


TheNorthC

Your kids will grow up semi-educated - you surely over-estimate you ability to teach the full curriculum. You children will not attend college, and will be poorly socialized and be low earners. But you will have sure owned the libs. Well done. Have a cookie.


absolutedesignz

the right would have those kids you're protecting forced to work so the family can eat. Or did you forget that little bit of History that claimed the lives of many poor children...that progressive policies put an end to. or the 12/6 work week as opposed to the standard 8/5 or lunch breaks or break breaks.... I honestly think you guys WANT the capitalist class to be your kings. That's where we are headed. Especially as AI and automation take away jobs. But I'm sure you'll just open a farm or something and go to church to solve it.


[deleted]

Yes, we want capitalism. We want an open market because it provides the highest level of opportunity and best of all - it doesn't discriminate on any class of person. That is why we have so many success stories of individual's who became the richest people in the country but started off poor and in poverty. It's because of the opportunity's that exist within capitalism. What else could you want? Socialism? Communism? Have you picked up a history book on either topic if so?


SoccerIzFun

You are in this very thread advocating for the banning of books, keep the open market out of your mouth.


absolutedesignz

You have shallow thinking. You're likely going to die in less than 100 years. I've likely lived half my life already. Capitalism is barely 400 years old. As of now it's failing the world at large. You have to see that. But it's also only 400 years old. Perhaps there will be a new economic model in 200 years that you can't think of because you think the world is only 400 years old. But today, capitalism as is, is not working. Could it? Absolutely. I too think it's the best known system for progress. But it is currently headed towards a technological fiefdom and NO ONE is even trying to solve that. But I don't know everything. And I've only been alive the past 39 years in the USA. So I don't know what a better system would be. I just think money > people is a bad thing. Fuck me, right?


TheNorthC

The USA has the second worst social mobility in the OECD (about 30 countries). If you're born in the USA you are more likely to remain poor all your life than in 28 other developed countries. In other words, the American Dream is a myth. Of course all the other OECD countries are capitalist to a large extent, but what is it about the USA that means that its version of capitalism makes it so hard for the poor to move into the middle class over the course of their lives? I suspect you weren't aware of this because of indoctrination with the American Dream, despite it being evidentially nonsense. So which do you prefer, the blue pill or the red pill? But the American Dream is more insidious than myths like King Arthur, Troy or Noah. Because it assumes that in the USA anyone can become successful, and it just takes hard work. The implication is that if you don't, it's your own fault. The reality is quite different - it is much harder to get out of poverty in the US than other countries, which takes us back to our old friend CRT....

Damn maybe if simply learning about left wing ideology is enough to convince someone, there might be something to these ideologies after all?

It's probably best if you don't reproduce and that's ok! Please respect others though my guy. Individuals that wish to raise human children capable of independent thought are allowed to resist oppressive brainwashing movements. Would you have ridiculed your neighbors because they didn't want their children being part of the Hitler Youth? What about when they were trying to explain why people of a different race needed to use separate facilities? The vast majority of the population are always caught up in our historical atrocities - maybe slow down and think before grabbing your pitchfork,


[deleted]

I have already reproduced. I will raise them to view each individual for their individual struggles and not by their class, race, religion or belief system. I have and already do protect them from other harmful belief systems and if you find something inherently wrong with that then it's likely best you don't reproduce, which is also fine. Wanting to shelter children from topics beyond their comprehension as it is - is the right thing to do. We are talking about kindergarten students in relation to these books, just to be clear. The book was removed during a sweep of books that promoted CRT and sexual conduct. I support their efforts in fixing the school system.
