It's real easy to see Pete, if one chooses to open their eyes, but carry on if you wish to remain ignorant instead.

Oh OK you convinced me.

Government "thought police" whether coming from the left or the right is never a good idea. The sooner we get liberal and conservative agendas out of schools the better.

As the country continues to stratify it's only going to get worse.

Damn.
I wish I was able to do that much earlier before you foolishly decided to get vaccinated.

What are some aspects of Clemente’s life that would be problematic for a child to learn about?

I think the reason it had to be reviewed were passages suggesting he was a victim of racism.

Nothing, zero, zilch. Read post #4. "All books" are being reviewed but like I said, the Dems and their funded media will stoop to lowest level they can in order to make the Cons and Desantis look bad.

All books have not been removed though for this review, have they? That someone would even need to closely review a biography of Clemente to see if it was lawful is a disgrace in and of itself. And who decides what discussions of race are OK and which aren't, a media specialist? Give me a fucking break. This is America. Or used to be. Stop making it sound neutral and innocuous, it isn't.

Totalitarianism always starts with censorship. And as Phil said it goes both ways, cancel culture from the left has gone way too far too IMO.

I am fine keeping sexually explicit material out of the schools. I am fine waiting for kids to be a little older before getting into sexual and gender identity. But banning books for what ultimately is a political value judgment? Noooooooooo thank you.
