Sales soar for Maus after school district in U.S. banned the Holocaust graphic novel cbc.ca/news/entertainment/…

> Tennessee school district voted to remove Maus over 'inappropriate language,' nudity

> The decision comes as conservative officials across the U.S. have increasingly tried to limit the type of books that children are exposed to, including those that address structural racism and LGBTQ issues.

> "It shows people hanging, it shows them killing kids, why does the educational system promote this kind of stuff? It is not wise or healthy," board member Tony Allman said about the book, which was part of the district's eighth-grade English language arts curriculum

Uh, yes? It's depectibg the Holocaust? Are we concerned about making Nazis look bad?

Also, I assumed this was about elementary school kids, not 8th graders.

@Wipqozn speaking of that

'Don't Say Gay' bill moves forward in Florida

> A Florida bill that would limit classroom discussions on sexual orientation and gender identity and encourage parents to sue schools or teachers that engage in these topics is speeding through the state House and Senate.

It's being called a "Don't Say Gay" bill by LGBTQ advocates, who fear that if this bill is signed into law, it could act as a complete ban on the lessons on LGBTQ oppression, history and discussions about LGBTQ identities.

> Activists say that erasing LGBTQ presence from schools may imply to students that their gender identity or sexual orientation is something to be ashamed of or hidden.

I mean yeah, because that's exactly the point.

The people that want these laws are hateful bigots.

> Rep. Joe Harding, who is the sponsor of the legislation, hopes it will "reinforce the fundamental right of parents to make decisions regarding upbringing & control of their children," according to the bill's text.

Yeah no. Parents don't have a right to abuse their children.

and telling an LGBTQ child there's something wrong with them is abuse. Full fucking stop.

well learned about this fine piece of human garbage via the live video:

Ammon Bundy

Ammon Edward Bundy (born September 1, 1975) is an American anti-government militant and activist. A car fleet manager by profession, Bundy gained widespread attention by leading the 2016 occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. He is the son of rancher Cliven Bundy, who was the central figure in the 2014 Bundy standoff regarding unpaid grazing fees on federally-owned public land. In March 2020, Bundy created the far-right People’s Rights network. In August 2020, Bundy was arrested twice over a two-day period at the Idaho State Capitol after leading a large group of maskless protesters...

Basically he's a deranged lunatic who's running for governor of Idaho.

Although he's... anti trump and pro BLM? What.

Quite the interesting character

@Wipqozn and yet the same group will also call it child abuse if they see children wearing masks
