Banned books in our schools...

That is absolutely disgusting. They banned “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss because it “criminalizes the forest industry.” No wonder most Americans just accept the BS that the US government pitches them. It’s my opinion that banning books like this is designed to make sure kids don’t ask questions and just become obedient members of society.

Little house on the Prarie was banned? That’s just cruel.

This is disgusting. I pity those who banned the books and sincerely hope that the children in these schools will be smart enough to go out on their own and see what they are missing.

I’m sorry hun, but Anne Frank did not survive the holocaust. :neutral:

Reading should be encouraged more. This whole topic motivates me to volunteer at the library to teach kids to read! :read:

They banned The Diary of Anne Frank because it contains some sex, I believe.

I haven’t read it, personally.

the version of anne frank i read didnt have any sex in it, at the most it only had kissing.
but of course there’s been about 5 re-drafts of it in different areas of america, so idk.
as for mein kampf, i can understand from their view and where america is going nowadays, considering the fact that it was written by the same man who used the jews as scapegoats of hate and put them along with blacks, homosexuals, and anyone who was even called a jew inside a camp where they put you in giant room with a bunch of naked people just so they could kill you with cyanide and then burn you :meh:.
as for things like the lord of the rings and harry potter, i dont see much point in it other then the fact that there are some children with highly unstable minds (which is becoming more rampant for some reason) which this can only contribute to in some insane way.(i didnt read the whole article on it, it was about children with unstable minds vs. books of complete fantasy.)
but then they should just ban the catcher and the rye.(if it isnt already)
animal farm, while i was reading it i saw some direct interpretations of marxisism and communism, such as the flag of the bulls horn and the hoof in the same shape as the hammer and the sickle, and the changing of COMMANDMENTS into simple laws or sayings that are contradictions of eachother.
as for the lorax, they dont want to be teaching children that its bad to cut down trees, because the wood industry is raking in so much cash that they dont want it opposed, and Dr. seuss directly affliates its books with any and all children under the age of 7-8.
also, those 3 catagories arent even the beggining.
the U.S. government is a power that continues to grow, it controls its population with mainstream information, and even ideals.
its gotton so bad that people dont know common information that they should know from common sense.
literally, it has gotton so horrible that nobody these days would even survive something simple, like being “stranded” after a hurricane.
the water is only 3-4 feet deep, and they wont have any water moccasins unless theres a freshwater creek nearby, even then most snakes would choose land because freshwater snakes cant survive in saltwater, sure your stuffs got water damage, but they choose to sit on their lazy asses while getting dehydrated, and sunburnt while they slowly starve to death all because their “waiting for help”.
and trust me, i live 3 miles to the gulf of mexico, Ike hit my house like a freight train, and i walked those extra miles to the next city while at least 10 people that i could count were sitting on their roofs just looking at the water.
but back onto the topic, every government wants you to know as little as possible, and when it comes to things like history, they dont want it to happen again, but this is only the tip of the iceberg.
they dont want free thinkers, those who know where to find information on how corrupt our government is, what they’ve been hiding behind those white walls for years upon years.
element 115
the tsar bomb (resently released)
secret government testing on unwilling subjects
new chemically altered drugs
bio-chemical warfare
the first beta testic of self-replicating nanobots
whats behind the walls of area 51 (3 people have tried getting in, the farthest so far was 2.8/5 miles in, he caught footage of a never-before seen antenna structure, presumably 5 ft. tall, looked like an upside down hersheys kiss with a long base on it with a black visor, right after that military came out of nowhere with shotguns and escorted him out after he hid the camera.)
its those with either the knowledge to want to know whats going on, or those with common sense to actually realize whats happening that the government dont want here.
im not saying its a conspiracy, but it is happening, just ask any person you know what they know about all of this, and i’ll bet you 50 bucks that they dont.

That’s possibly the most retarded thing I’ve ever read in my entire life. To kill a mockingbird encourages empathy and morals, anti-racism, so on and so forth, if anything this book should be encouraged to be read. Like in my school, we had to read that book, and grade 11 english class read animal farm (Which is only socially offensive i you’re retarded.) But really, the whole sex thing? wtf. I go to a catholic school, and I read a book filled with sex, and others with racial slurs, and obviously, there have been no problems. I honestly can’t even believe people are BANNING books in schools… It’s very sad indeed.

And learning about the holocaust is wrong?

I really dont understnad the “Too political” catagorie. That makes absolutley no sence. There banning “Animal farm” why?, because its politcal on a rebelous level? There treating it as if Hittler wrote it. Polotics is something that needs to be learned. I mean it just makes no sence period. It is really getting scary. They might as well flush freespeach down the drain, because by banning these books that is what they are teaching the upcoming generation. There being trained to live in the upcoming police state, and beleive me it is coming fast, and hard. The America we read about in History books(which is probley filtred, and untrue) is no more so just get use to. We have too many … Ill shut up, because I will offend someone. Im just so pissed right now. I just hope people are paying attention to what is going on. They say knowledge is power. Hell knowledge is now a privlage. Kids will learn only what will be allowed to learn, and people wonder why kids hate schools, and dont respect the ecucation system. Its a sad, sad joke now. Im just so glad I dont have kids, because I would be so tempted to home school them which wouldnt be fair to them, because they would be deprived of social skills which is just as importent as anything else taught in school. Its just not fair, and feels me with so much frustration, but what the fuck can you do just except it, and move on. Protest… What??? Damnit now Im pissed!!!

Id like to dedicate this to American schools.
