Why are certain school books being banned in US?
- gigatexal 5y agoBecause America is being overrun by the un(der)educated and worse the educated yet hell-bent-on-destroying progress.

- willcipriano 5y agoHas America ever been more educated than it is today?
- jleyank 5y ago"educated", not sure, but "science-oriented" was far more likely in the 50's and 60's. Part of the problem is that there's been no external threat to the US (or the West) for decades and the Lord of the Flies bit is taking over. Nothing to unite the disparate elements of society other than their hatred of each other.

- jleyank 5y agoYup. People hate having their world view threatened and/or their precious snowflakes risking damage from reality. It’s also common to see skin deemphasized in the us as opposed to guns deemphasized elsewhere. Maus wasn’t about nudity it was about dehumanization. The latter shakes up one’s world view and they hate that. See Bronowski on YouTube re auschwitz and absolute knowledge.
- Georgelemental 5y agoThis is dishonest reporting. Many of the books in question were simply removed from school curricula, that is not "banning."
