And another book is getting banned over the PC nonsense........

okay before we babble too much the seuss books was simple a business decision as the books were not selling....

we that said i am totally against censoring books...i was always allowed to read anything i wanted...i was reading henry miller at about 11...had no clue what they were talking about but read it...ft bragg had a killer library

Bullshit. Then why did they say it was because of racism.

Why the need to lie? What does it gain for you to not deal with reality?
Lefties need the lies. It helps them feel better about themselves. It helps them believe they aren’t a bunch of book burning communists.

Hitler's Reich was famous for book burnings and he purged Communists and Socialists.. killed them or put them in concentration camps. He shut down most newspapers and got rid of clergy, lawyers, professors, intellectuals.. Basically anyone with an education.
 
it is a slippery slope when they talk about banning classics like tom sawyer...and other books...to kill a mockingbird...

America breaks out in this crap from time to time. Remember Little Black Sambo and the Uncle Remus stories... or look at the outrage over movies like the Last Temptation of Christ.
It's a handful of idiots with access to media that blows it up.
 
i have never read or heard of this book....
Its just a silly kids book.
My kids were in elementary school when the series 1st come out and I can tell you a lot of kids who didn't like/or struggled with reading devoured these books. The problem with woke canceling is the slippery slope of mass erasure or picking and choosing hypocrisy. What's next Foo fighters changing their name...

Yes, and that’s exactly what the left are doing today to conservatives and American history and culture. Marxism teaches that you must erase history, destroy the written history and modern culture in order to be able to replace it with a new Marxist one. That was a trick Hitler learned from Marx. Hitler was a socialist after all.

Stalin used to execute people he felt threatened by and then had them removed from any photos. :auiqs.jpg:

Uncle Joe was the original photoshopper!

Nope. Hitler broke with the socialists in 1926 and purged them in 1933. He killed them or put them in Dachau. He was a Fascist like Mussolini. Hard right conservative and nationalist..

What happened to your education?

Mussolini himself said fascism is really “corporatism”. Fascism is just another brand of socialism. They believe in centralized power, not in individual rights. Their only main difference was that most industries could remain privately owned instead of state owned. Not much of a distinction when the industries get subsidized by the government and do the government’s bidding.
 
Scholastic pulls children's book from 'Captain Underpants' author over 'harmful racial stereotypes and passively racist imagery'

A children's book from Dav Pilkey, author of the popular Captain Underpants series, has been pulled from shelves because it perpetuates "passive racism."
Last week, children's publisher Scholastic announced they will no longer distribute Pilkey's 2010 graphic novel, The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future.
"Together, we recognize that this book perpetuates passive racism," the publishing house said in a statement on their website. "We are deeply sorry for this serious mistake. Scholastic has removed the book from our websites, stopped fulfillment of any orders (domestically or abroad), contacted our retail partners to explain why this book is no longer available and sought a return of all inventory."
They will also "take steps" to inform schools and libraries who have the book that they've decided to withdraw it from publication.
The decision was made with "the full support" of Pilkey, the statement said. The author took to his YouTube page to discuss the change, saying, "it was brought to my attention that this book also contains harmful racial stereotypes and passively racist imagery,” he wrote. “I wanted to take this opportunity to publicly apologize for this. It was and is wrong and harmful to my Asian readers, friends and family, and to all Asian people.”

Pilkey initially said the book, which tells the story of a group of friends who use martial arts and Chinese philosophy to save the world, was created to “showcase diversity, equality and non-violent conflict resolution.” However, he now sees the harm.


"I hope that you, my readers, will forgive me, and learn from my mistake that even unintentional and passive stereotypes and racism is harmful to everyone," wrote Pilkey. "I apologize, and I pledge to do better."
The decision to remove Pilkey's book comes shortly after the announcement that Dr. Seuss Enterprises will stop the publication and licensing of six Dr. Seuss titles which "portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong."
Those six titles — If I Ran the Zoo, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, McElligot's Pool, Scrambled Eggs Super!, The Cat's Quizzer and On Beyond Zebra! — were chosen because they contain racist imagery, Yahoo Life previously reported.
The announcement to stop publication of the Seuss titles coincided with the National Education Association's Read Across America Day, a youth literacy event which was aligned with the birthday of Seuss until 2018. Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced they were in support of the decision, and are committed to ensuring the work of Seuss (real name: Theodor Seuss Geisel) "represents and supports all communities and families."
Despite the agreement of Dr. Seuss Enterprises, conservative critics blamed the decision to stop publishing the six books on "cancel culture." Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted, "When history looks back at this time it will be held up as an example of a depraved sociopolitical purge driven by hysteria and lunacy."


This isn't going to stop--as more and more books are banned, the bar for banning them will get lower and lower and lower.
How sad for you.....
 
What liberal activist group got this book banned??

Maybe they can take some lessons from all of these Conservative activist groups....they have been far more successful and have even gotten governments to help them ban books....


But we all know when Conservatives ACTIVELY uses government to ban books...that's just freedom and stuff....
 
^^^
LOL i like how the federal supremacists come in this thread talking about banned books.
The books they are referencing are about sex and other content that shouldnt be associated with children.
Not a silly childrens book about captain underpants or something similar.
This is called intellectual dishonesty.

we’ll stop the marijuana epidemic

I am betting most Asians could not care less about that book.

Most Asians have enough self-confidence to just laugh with others at any "stereotypes."

In fact, stereotypes might be helpful.

I have heard that some sucker punchers are hesitant to attack YOUNG Asians because of the stereotype that all young Asians know karate and could kick the sucker punchers' posteriors to H*ll.
 
No books are banned by conservatives. Every one of the so-called banned books continue to be freely available. Just not to children. Which is the way it should be.
 
When do the book burnings start?

Can't have this KKK Youth propaganda laying around?

No they want kids to read a different kind of propaganda.


I found hundreds of books on whiteness, racism, social injustice, how awesome blacks are just for being black and so on while looking on Amazon for kids 1 to 12. Imagine buying a book on racism for a 2 year old.

American society needs a serious enema.
