Conservative activists, led by a local pastor and outspoken Israel advocate, pushed the district, Mission CISD, to excise books mostly about gender, sexuality and race. Their demands represented an extreme version of a nationwide culture war over books that has played out in recent years — and ensnared a number of books with Jewish themes.
In Mission, the long list of books on the chopping block includes a recent illustrated adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary; both volumes of Art Spiegelman’s Holocaust graphic memoir “Maus”; “The Fixer,” Bernard Malamud’s novel about a historical instance of antisemitic blood libel; and “Kasher in the Rye,” a ribald memoir by Jewish comedian Moshe Kasher.
Yes exactly everyone will have biases, and we need to compromise and let all voices to be heard. So if the right wants to remove most things sexual, great; if the left wants to remove anything with the n word in it, great. Its better to be over censorious than under censorious in public buildings.
I sure hope you go see your quack doctor when you are sick then, because modern medecine have bias.
Librarians are trained personnel explicitly for deciding what books are acceptable. The old Crusty Fuckfaces that want to ban anything and everything can become librarians themselves and decide for their school if they so wish.
But until then, they can read their bible and shut the fuck up.
If you want to go back to the dark ages, do so in the comfort of your own home and leave the society alone with your backwards beliefs.
