So how far reaching are these notions for real? Are they limited to frankly what are schools and classes for people who are already bought in to these sort of notions?
Book censorship due to content is nothing new. I disagree with it but parents being upset about ideas that schools expose their kids to has been going on for ages. It's not like people just started banning books.
CHAZ/CHOP and the nightly activities in Portland seem to come right to the top of my mind. To what theories do these peaceful protesters prescribe? They also seem open to intelligent debate and ready to listen to constructive ideas that will help them bring about meaningful change.
Book censorship is a slippery slope, but there’s a difference between parents wanting to ban the Harry Potter series because it promotes wizardry and sorcery and those who want to ban books like
Uncle Tom’s Cabin or
The Diary of Anne Frank because they talk about “scary” and/or inconvenient subjects and
To Kill A Mockingbird because they use words to describe people that are no longer acceptable. I’m against censorship in all forms, unless it’s common sense in preventing a child from reading something too graphic for their age (for example, my 7 year-old reading a
Playboy).
Regardless, we weren’t really talking about parents here, it was about educators. If a parent wants to keep something from their child that’s on them. But I believe the foundation for being able to understand both sides of an argument and realize that not everyone can get what they want all the time begins at home. I think almost any parent can agree with that.
Right. Nobody at OAN, 4Chan or FNC is doing any brainwashing or spreading of propaganda or insane conspiracy theories. It’s just the (left wing) teachers and (left wing) media.
What’s the latest propaganda and insane conspiracy theories they’re pushing over at Fox News these days?
