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.

I’m not sure why you keep referring to that dumb argument. There is two distinct book, I know that, but the second book is called the secret annex and is rewritten and more tame.

Otherwise, diary of a young girl is referred to as Anne Frank’s diary and all the other similar name. So shut the fuck up with your propaganda.

Neither book should be banned and for a right winger, you seem to be more about big government than personal responsibility that your ilk like to spout.

There is nothing offensive in the book and parents can decide for their child without being a bunch of christo-fascists cunts trying to ban anything they don’t like.

Walk the talk for once in your life and stop being an hypocrite. If you don’t mind toddlers shooting people and the mass shootings but you get your feelings hurt by a young girl describing what she is going through at puberty, there is no mental gymnastics that can justify that.

So go live in the wood with all your troglodytes so that you can live your christo-fascist life like you want. You can bring your bible with you, we don’t need it.

It doesn’t matter. You are trying to steer the conversation away from the subject.

The point is that you were wrong again, and still dont know what is going on. The book that they want banned was written in like 2018, its a graphic novel, not the one we all read as kids. You need to actually do some research instead of being aggressively ignorant.
