Reputator Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I don't know that figurative book burning is going to have the same effect in the internet age as it did in the 30s and 40s, but hey they're free to try. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the stated reasons, at least. 8 profanities and one image containing nudity. I'm sure the district carries plenty of books that contain more than 8 profanities, however.

I hope Amazon Kindle or whatever publisher could offer this as a free digital download. That way everyone could download and read it. Plus who knows, it might give some teachers (who are brave enough to tell) history stories that kids should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarSolo Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 To be fair, it’s Tennessee. They most likely saw the title “Maus” and thought it was about Mao and the spread of Communism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It’s like the republicans watched Jojo Rabbit but never finished the film. They stopped because they didn’t like Hitler changing his happy go lucky attitude that they all know him for. Spoiler at least Jojo a kid, eventually realizes Hitler is evil and kicks him to the curb . . . well, out a window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Potter should be flying off these racks next, with all them death and black magic in them books. I love how “Democrats are trying to take away your _______________. Meanwhile as Republican voters are rioting over the latest distraction. REPUBLICANS ARE FUCKING TAKING AWAY THING FROM YOU AND YOUR KIDS RIGHT NOW!!!!!! I use to think you guys were mostly crazy down there, but then you see our few Truckers doing their shit. Sadly that hatred stateside has spread northward and now has latched on/following this “convoy” to Ottawa. It’s gonna be Jan 6th 2.0 Eh!

TwinIon Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Oh no, they got nudity and profanity in our story of genocide. Even though I very much grew up with it, the puritanical American "values" continue to baffle me. Also, isn't this about cartoon mice?
