@holland_tom >dismiss the positive reviews as evidence of a woke conspiracy to overthrow Western civilization
are there really people like you out there who are naive enough to believe there isn’t? You think the Hollywood producers would let a film like this fail for that reason?
@BurnerTJustice Pretty sure they’re at Dick’s Last Stand, a bar that writes crude phrasing on your shirt. Not defending them, just pointing that bit out
@jordanbpeterson >The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West
Man… every day I think there‘s something I see posted that I think can’t be more retarded… this post, I’m certain, will remain unchallenged
@lspear412@o604s@esjesjesj The STATE and PRIVATE SECTOR. Not authors. If you don’t think those two entities collude with one another, we probably will just need to agree to disagree…
@lspear412@o604s@esjesjesj AP (and IB) curriculum is approved by the College Board based on the teacher’s syllabus. The school district does not supersede that…
@lspear412@o604s@esjesjesj As a librarian, I’d expect you to have some backbone regarding this issue, even if the content of those books were antithetical to your beliefs
@lspear412@o604s@esjesjesj Just because some kid in small town Indiana can’t borrow it because of the rurally conservative area he lives in does not mean it’s banned. It’s a bad faith argument and you know it
@lspear412@o604s@esjesjesj The Bell Curve may appear in some university courses, but usually in the form of critique. It is not taught at public schools. That is patently false. Also, you’ve literally just pointed out that a LAW has been made against one of my aforementioned authors…
@lspear412@o604s@esjesjesj See, what you’re doing here is playing semantics, and it isn’t clever. “Technically, it’s banned here in rural Missouri, so…” while there is a much larger issue at hand that you refuse to acknowledge because its conveinant to your for these other books to be banned
@lspear412@o604s@esjesjesj You do realize there are actual “banned” books, right? Books which private publishers refuse to produce, and that schools, both private and public, refuse to teach? Shouldn’t those be the focal point here? Or do you not care because they contradict with your political stance?
@esjesjesj What are you on about? He’s right. “Banned Books” is a way for liberals to feel edgy and make merch which projects their undeserved edginess. Just because a book was banned at a small school in the south with fewer than a thousand people living there doesn’t mean it’s banned
