“The Lorax” isn’t out of the woods just yet. Logging advocates say they will appeal the issue to the school board, which meets next month.
“To teach this book is insensitive to us as pillars of the community,” said 63-year-old Bud Harwood, whose family owned logging company in nearby Branscomb employs about 300 people, making it by far the area’s biggest employer. “In our eyes, it’s an attack on the integrity of our industry. It’s not justified to have kids come home and tell their parents they’re working in a bad industry, that they’re criminals because they take the homes away from little animals.”

Yep… some people just lack empathy.
if you dont want to take the discussion seriously, you have the option simply not to post
those people whoever they are are not part of this discussion

I’m taking the discussion seriously, just not all the posters.
If you have empathy for others you’ve failed to show it.

i think think the Berenstein Bears books will be banned soon
oh i know i know they’re not “banned” theyre just strictly forbidden from being printed, or displayed or read aloud or shelved among the stacks
I haven’t had french fries in over a year and it hurts my soul. My heart thanks me though.

WuWei:
Then why do you care?
Because I think being racism is bad.

WuWei:
Is it required?
I don’t know what it would be required for but it tends to make for better people.
right. because the fallacy of your argument would be exposed

The books of that series spelled with an “e” instead of an “a” are from an alternate timeline and should be banned.
