You're viewing a single thread.
Considering the books can be legally sold and purchased by the public, it is hardly a book ban.
They are being banned in schools.
Deciding what reading material is available in schools has been a thing ever since the invention of schools. I bet there is material even you would support not offering in schools.
Whatever makes you feel better about your racism man
What a lacklustre straw man. Look, I can completely ignore context too!
The Disney movie "Ruby Bridges" (banned) and the Anarchist Cookbook (also banned) are way totally completely equally deserving of a ban in schools.
Here's the synopsis of the banned movie, btw:
This film presents the real-life tale of young Ruby Bridges (Chaz Monet), one of the first African-American children to attend an integrated school in the Deep South. At only age 6, Ruby is selected to attend an all-white school in New Orleans, causing an uproar in the racially divided region. Among the people who try to help Ruby adjust to the tense situation are teacher Barbara Henry (Penelope Ann Miller) and Dr. Robert Coles (Kevin Pollak), a child psychiatrist.
Both banned, therefore exactly the same. Yup.
That's on Disney+. I'll have to give it a watch. Thanks!
No, they are literally being banned. This is not a matter of choosing what to have in inventory and it's basically lying to suggest that's what banning books is.
You're splitting hairs about whether it's a ban in order to justify removing items from the curriculum at the insistence of racists.
You're making excuses for people who burn books in the hopes that their movement will persist long enough that they can burn people.
You gotta realize, the leftist demand for hate outstripes the supply, so they have to redefine words like ban
The fuck is outstripes? Is that like a backyard potty with a bad paintjob? A nudist inmate?
Means to go further than, or be higher than. The demand for hate is a lot higher than the supply.

No it doesn’t. You mean outstrips? That’s not what you said, and why the comment before was making fun of you.
I don't know anyone on the left who demands hate. Can you please give an example?
Expecting decency towards 'others' is like an attack to them.
Since when does ban have a strict definition to mean not allowing the publish and/or sale of books nationwide? If I ban something from my house, am I required to use a different word?
It's precisely how dishonest people try to steer the conversation. Never let them get away with that, or every conversation will be unproductive.
Aww is poor baby mad we hate their stupid widdle obsolete traditions and beliefs? Is baby gonna cry to Trump? Gonna go do a widdle Nazi march temper tantrum? Aww he so cute when he mad! Here have a little binky and go take a nap.
Stop treating him with so much unearned respect.
