- jonhohle 5y agoThis has absolutely nothing to do with CRT. I assure you books have been banned far longer than CRT has been a trending topic. Did you read the minutes of the meeting? The content that is against school board policy is enumerated and there is a request to replace the material with something that can teach equivalent lessons. > I've got enough faith from the Director of Schools down to the newest hire in this building, that you can take that module and rewrite it and make it do the same thing. Our children need to know about the Holocaust, they need to understand that there are several pieces of history, Mr. Bennett, that shows depression or suppression of certain ethnicities. It's not acceptable today. We've got to accept people for who and what they are… But Rob, the wording in this book is in direct conflict of some of our policies… I move that we remove this book from the reading series and challenge our instructional staff to come with an alternative method of teaching the Holocaust.

- omegaworks 5y agoBanning Maus is endorsed by the people behind the CRT moral panic[1]. It was made all the easier by their effort. Believing that it’s more important to protect middle schoolers from mice that say "god damn" than it is to convey the horrors of the camps is white fragility politics in action. Infantilization to serve fascist ends. 1. https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1486732376369631234?s=20&t=Rsuke8vLw7L0TeuPuE3tcQ https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1486732376369631234?s=2...
