There are 2000 posts in this thread. Lets count the number of examples of right wing book burning and compare it to the examples of left wing book burning.

So should we ignore this book being banned, then?

We're 5:1 right-leaning in here, at least, so just about any conversation has the potential to be dominated with conservative talking points.

You mean the book with nude photos in it? Yeah, doesn't sound like something a school district should have.

The human body is disgusting. Despite everyone having two (or more) nipples, seeing someone else's in a book would be overly sexual. Throw those nipples on a starving, terrified POW and it'd be pure lust inducing for the reader of the book.

edt: The book is illustrated so it's a drawing. It's all in the context of the story. There are also objections to coarse language but given the average youth's vocabulary today that shouldn't be an issue. It's pretty narrow minded to ban this one.

It’s also in a middle school

Of course. Is that up to the school or the parent?

That is a good question. Ideally school boards can be the arbiter and answer to the community. But it's problematic if the community or the loud mouths in the community are very reactionary or very woke. In my view middle schoolers would benefit from reading such a book about the holocaust.

Yet there’s informative books about the Holocaust without these issues and I disagree about school boards being the appropriate people to make such decisions. There’s few positions in society I have less respect for

I understand where your going but at the same time .. let a crack head that is all skin and bones no teeth and in a dirty rat infested trailer show two nipples on social media and watch how fast they get banned . Like everything , it’s all subjective with somebody / group pulling the strings . We were just talking about banning to kill a mocking bird in here a couple of days ago because of some nonsense about a white overlord . Lol

I understand your feeling about school boards. A lot of them are worse than useless with their politics. But if not them, who?
