My mom was big on buying whatever book others wanted to ban, provided she didn't already have it, which she often did.
She was a WONDERFUL teacher and influence.
Our job is to teach others how to learn, ultimately. Lucky students get teachers who are are worldly and curious enough, who teach their students the power of critical thought.
Amongst mine, would be:
"His Dark Materials" for its analogy of Power.
* Vatican banned book list
* Soviet Union banned book list
Between them (neither currently active), they had all the greatest literature! 🤔🤷🏼♂️
🍻 Here's to hoping this generation of students feels the same way...
During the 2023-2024 school year, 19 titles were banned in 50 or more school districts nationwide. https://pen.org/report/beyond-the-shelves/
ban:
religion
pseudoscience
hate mongers
liars
manipulators

It seems to be mostly Red States with religious right, white nationalists, anti-everything people.
A good book to read is Fahrenheit 451 (the burning temperature of paper).

Ali Velshi hosts discussions on banned books on Saturday & Sunday. Worth a watch.

Sad but true!!!!
You're disagreeing with the banning of the books in the first place?
or using books on the banned list as curriculum reading material?
..
Because, I think the latter is a great way to protest..
Unfortunately, the teachers will probably cop it in the keister if they try it.
There is material out there that is just not suitable and should be restricted.
But i think banning based on difference of ideology is wrong.
Do you believe the Department of Education should be allowed to ban the Bible from being allowed to be read in schools by students?
Fair question.
Answer freely.
However, did you know that the Bible IS banned from US public schools and that Islam is taught more than Christianity as a subject matter?!? If I’m wrong, please provide evidence to prove your point.
But, PLEASE, prove me wrong.
Please!!! Show me the policy in the Dept of Education, or in ANY public school district where the Bible is provided for reading… or where state are ENCOURAGED to read it.
Honestly, prove your point.
I want to know the truth!!!

No further action required
I love the movie with Gregory Peck, btw...
They’re all excellent, by the way.
“The quality of owning freezes you forever in "I," and cuts you off forever from the "we.”
clear why some would want this banned.
And yup. It has been challenged.
In constant solidarity sir
A standard for 4th graders is for them to compare 2 or more myths and/or fairytales, and I've found over time that kids from religious families often make the connections themselves.
Jus' sayin'...
A great eye opener. I have a trip planned for May, unless Putin or someone fucks it up.
I need glasses
I've always loved anagrams, and THIS is a STELLAR example of the art form.
some books that are on ban lists
Han dynasty:
Its possible that even zoomers will put down tiktok and podcasts momentarily, and read a few books themselves.
It’s all about control, MAGA fascist propaganda and brainwashing!! Uneducated are easier to control!

Tell a story about two sisters getting their own dad drunk so they can have sex with him and they say:
"But its the Biiiiblee!"😖
Welcome to the THEOCRACY!😬

There is no do over.
...so let's ban books & never mention or do anything about the Sexual Predators in positions of power.
Teachers stand up to (and for) a lot of things, every day, but you've got to be smart about it. You can't help the kids if you're not there.
principles don't put food on the table
