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

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.

It is no different up here with Trudeau at the helm. Like I've said numerous times in various threads, the Liberals are all in bed together worldwide. Cancel culture, censorship, the media in their back pockets, etc, etc, etc. All Liberalism, imo. It amazes me how many have forgotten history and I'm afraid we are going to repeat it. WW2 was won but the dream never died with it. It is still an agenda and they are not even trying to hide it anymore.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...ools-rcna70081 They are going through and looking at titles first apparently, to then see if the books can possibly have some topics they feel are not age appropriate or otherwise unallowable for students under enacted Florida state standards, and if any questions, pulling them from the shelves for "further review". In other words, no K through 3rd grade books can discuss gender identity or sexual orientation, no public grade school books can teach critical race theory, which may discuss or examine systemic racism in the U.S., and books may not include references to pornography and discrimination. The Clemente book was one (of between 100-200) that was specifically pulled for "further review" (ie: it is currently banned), while approximately 2,800 other book titles were already passed so far and not ever pulled or banned. They have around 1.5 million book titles in total in the Duval County public school's library system to eventually be reviewed apparently, and they have hired 52 certified media specialists to do the review. None of the other remaining books that have not yet been looked at by the media specialists have apparently been specifically pulled or banned yet either. If nothing else, were I a taxpayer in Duval county, I'd like to know how much of my tax money was being wasted on these 52 specialists rather than going towards actual education and other more critical school district needs. In the case of the Clemente book, it apparently talks about the racism and discrimination he faced while playing in the U.S., and apparently the State of Florida doesn't want public school students to hear about the racist treatment someone like him received through the public schools. Makes perfect sense as a lot of states, especially Southern ones, back in Clemente's day supported and upheld Jim Crow and other racist laws and rules. Such states likely don't want to admit and let their kids learn what effing POS's they were back then by allowing such crap to happen. At least not if they can help it. |
