SectionC3 Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Yesterday I asked what the MAGA crew here would do now that Tucker is unemployed and not permitted to appear on Fox News during the 8p weeknight time slot. Today I realized that, to the extent the MAGA crew is sober (Bud Light apparently is popular) and not in a food coma after dinner (lots of people—not me, but lots of people—say that MAGA are corpulent gluttons), such crew probably will fill this gaping void in their collective lives by finally getting around to burning some books. Hence today’s important and informative topic. What books do you intend to burn?? Will you take the advice of the very well-read Moms for Liberty (sort of like the opposite of the Oprah book club)? Or do members of the MAGA crowd have an independent thought or two about some literature that they would like to incinerate? Fire away and let us know! 1 4

Tiberius Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 A graphic-novel memoir about gender identity. A collection of personal essays by a ***** Black activist. Toni Morrison’s first novel. These books were among the most-challenged titles in U.S. libraries in 2022, according to a new report from the American Library Association. The attempts to ban “Gender *****” by Maia Kobabe, “All Boys Aren’t Blue” by George M. Johnson and “The Bluest Eye” by Morrison were part of a growing trend across the U.S. There were 1,269 efforts to censor books and other resources in libraries in 2022, according to the libraries group. That figure is nearly double the year before and marks a record for a single year. The association has been tracking these trends for more than two decades. More than 2,500 individual titles fell under scrutiny in 2022, the majority of which focused on or were written by LGBT individuals and people of color. https://www.wsj.com/articles/there-were-1-269-efforts-to-ban-books-in-2022-these-were-the-most-targeted-e19f3f33

The book-burning crowd wants to destroy literature acknowledging that others might be different. I am far from the most well-read. In fact, at this point in my life, I’m probably not well-read. But I highly, highly doubt that a critical mass of the dopes in favor of incinerating the aforementioned literature have read so much as a page of that which they seek to destroy. In point of fact, I question whether many of them are even capable of reading and processing such things. This thread is a shining example of that … I was going to say ignorance, but I’m not sure that’s the right word. Disagree with the viewpoint expressed herein? Call someone a commie and/or block them, and maybe chuck in a little misogyny, lest one’s thought be challenged. It’s really sad when people characterizing themselves as “conservatives” can’t stand the crucible of the marketplace of ideas. 1 1

T&C Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 I found a 1986 hardback copy of Tom Sawyer a couple of weeks ago... $2. Still had all the bad words.
