And there it is, Libs believe in censorship

[DougBH]

I wouldn’t think so. That was a particularly bad choice considering the fame of the book.
It raises the question of whether any teacher should have the option of selecting any book for their class they want, or whether it is actually “banning” if some committee makes the book selection instead of the teacher.
However, that book was a particularly ill chosen book to raise the issue over.

No it isn’t. You need to hear the preacher read it again?

Porn is something you see. You can’t read porn.

is there any reason to ban that book from children who are older than ten. I’m using that cutoff for introducing the Holocaust.

Why?
…

[WuWei]

It’s not banning.

As I said many times here before. Libs believe in censorship…so it’s time to come out of the closet and just admit it.

If we accept your premise that libs believe in censorship; it follows from these questions that conservatives believe in lying.

And then again, yesterday word came from Florida of a teacher fired for assigned “The Diary of Anne Frank” to their class. So conservatives appear to believe in lying and censorship.

I wouldn’t be talking about others lying after typing that post.

The rest of the story is something you don’t seem to be familiar with.

Ok. That’s sort of included into my question of who added it and why.

Agreed… but there is a further point. If you look at the text of “The Diary of a Young Girl” (the actual title) is there any reason to ban that book from children who are older than ten. I’m using that cutoff for introducing the Holocaust. I think Anne Frank’s end would be more distressing to children than her first period.

If you are going to take the vaulted high perch of righteousness in defense of something, at least know what you are defending.

Passages referencing male and female anatomy as well as an acknowledgement of same-sex attraction in an unabridged, illustrated version of Anne Frank’s diary are what led to the recent firing of a Texas middle school teacher. Last week, an 8th grade teacher with Hamshire-Fannett ISD who has not been identified publicly was fired by the district after she had students read excerpts of Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation during a reading class. District officials claim the illustrated work was not approved as part of the curriculum and called its content inappropriate.

This isn’t the book you read in Junior High.

I seriously question whether this is the book that Anne Frank wrote… I have read the original publication and the revised version when her father’s editorial omissions were restored. and the text, which you are obviously unacquainted with is entirely innocuous.

You could not have read the graphic novel adaptation, which is what I stated and what was used in this instance.

You also didn’t bother to read the link provided.

Funny how you think you are the only one to have read any of the material discussed.

In yet another sign of Big Tech bias, it turns out Google’s Gmail program leans strongly Democratic — automatically sending Republican fund-raising mail to users’ spam folders far more often than the Democratic ones in the runup to the 2020 elections.

Trying to influence how people think, eh? Sway an election? How dare they. That’s the media’s job to manipulate human cattle!

Remind which side is removing books from school libraries again?

If the content being removed, is highly sexual in nature, by your post, are you saying you approve of this content being exposed or read to children?

porn
[pôrn]
NOUN
pornography:
“hardcore porn”
television programs, magazines, books, etc. that are regarded as emphasizing the sensuous or sensational aspects of a nonsexual subject and stimulating a compulsive interest in their audience:
