Offended Virginian Leftists Ban "To Kill a Mocking Bird," "Huck Finn" In Schools
Tap! Tap! Crack!
Oops, there goes another yardstick. Oh, well. Ahem!
Class, do I have your attention? Dino, quit throwing spitballs, you little brat. Thank you.
Ahem! Class we were to be reading and then discussing for study "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by the celebrated by some Mark Twain. The entire point of "Huckleberry Finn" is that racism is evil and wrong.
But--Oh, nooooo! It has n-words! Oodles of n-words! Not PC! Not PC at all!
Offensive alert! Offensive alert!
Run away, children! Run away!
Find your little safe zones! That's it!
Duck and cover! Hide! Hide! Hide!
Whatever you do, don't let the real classical literary world ever contaminate all you super sensitive little brainwashed babies!
And never the real world either!

There is another way to ban books that might be even more insidious...just make sure that no one knows that they ever existed. There was a time when Atlas Shrugged was required reading in a lot of major universities. It was also listed on the "hundred books to read" lists for years. Now just try to find it mentioned almost anywhere. Then copies of the book will gather dust on library shelves and be removed because of lack of interest. Thus it will suffer the same fate as a banned book without the public outrage and attention.
Atlas Shrugged teaches the wrong lessons if you want to teach others how to be snowflake sheeple manipulated by control freak progressive fascists.
Great literature often offends and always causes people to think. "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Huck Finn" are two such works and should remain in libraries and in school curricula across the country.
They cause us to recall a time when the country was different and change was in the air. They provide us with a view of the world that should nlt be forgotten, but studied so as to prevent them from occurring again.
What happened to ancient Rome comes to mind.
(Psst! Me dino is just being sarcastic to what is truly important to a libtard).
What's the difference between removing books from school libraries and burning them as the Nazis did in 1933? Either way, the attack on memory (removal of historical evidence) marches on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1HYa... ; http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2...
Quickie research I then did revealed that communists totally take over businesses while fascists like Nazis just tell them what to do or else.
I realized we have big government control freak fascism already.
Now listen up, class. It's time for the word of the day.
The word for today has four syllables and is spelled h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y for hypocrisy.
Say hy-po-cri-sy. Very good.
What's that little dino? Oh, so your parents say banning classical lit due to n-words is intellectual hypocrisy due to pop culture ghetto gutter profanity tolerance.. Who cares what your parents say? I work for the public school system.
Say, how'd little dino learn such big words anyway?
Oh, your parents. Cough!
Class, who can tell me what a hypocrite is?
No, class, you raise your little hands. You do not point at me.
Might be the funniest and saddest at the same time.
That's outrageous. Two of the greatest American novels ever written are banned so as to not offend the delicate snowflakes? A pox upon them! Bah, pshaw, and similar expletives. We seem to be edging into the world of Ray Bradbury and his book about a world where books are banned and set on fire. Good grief, if my great grandkids can't read Mark Twain, they might as well forsake reading altogether and just sit and stare at their video games and smarter-than-them phones until their thumbs are frozen by arthritis.

Glad to say I was never that kind of censorship Republican. Thanks to chicken RInos who bowed to King Barry, I started to call myself an independent even before I learned there is such a thing as GOP elites who would not support Trump for viewing their power as more important than saving the American people from the evil hag and what she would have done to the Supreme Court.
I voted the Republican straight ticket but I do not consider myself a hypocrite due to the evil I was trying to defeat.
Free speech is free speech. There is nothing about the concept to misunderstand.
That is not the same as yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. But if someone wants to preach or print sermons about eternal paradise with Beelzebub, that's something this Christian is free to ignore but not to shut down.
Oops, game is back on.
If you refuse to understand the past there is no way to understand the present.
admit that the innocent defendant used it a couple
of times about himself, but that just shows how
oppressed he was*), Huck was not presented as a
perfect person.
