Dr Seuss cancelled in Virginia

[BeAllied]

Named for the Queen of England, known as the Virgin queen, IIRC

You must think progressives care about facts? If they can draw a connection to anything they oppose in an effort to cast it away, especially Christianity, then the connection will be made. You haven't figured this stuff out, yet?

Nevermind that the English lauded the Queen's purported virginity because it vaulted her to a status held by the mother of Christ. It's not like people do stuff like that. Kim Jong-Un is a god, you know.

Fine, it will be renamed because it is slut shaming against women and trans-women who have had sex.

^If there is any weakness in an institution, many people will use it as an excuse to completely destroy that institution. Our generation seems to despise America and everything it stands for, and I just don’t understand why.

Virginia cancels Seuss because he “seems” racist to a deranged handful of fascist socialists....

but had said barely a word about a Democrat governor who 100% dressed either as a klansman or in blackface.

Please remember, friends, no matter what hysteria is posted here by leftists....the reality is that they no longer have a moral anchor. If they did, the situation outlined above wouldn’t exist.

There's nothing that ties us all together. No World War to fight, no Cold War. Even no 3-4 channels of TV to bring you around the water cooler... no water cooler.

I would like to see a mandatory year or year and a half in some kind of service to the country. Military or Americorps or similar. Done between 18 and 25.

It would expose these kids to other ideas and regionalities. Put some skin in the game to what is our little democratic experiment.

I'm sure this is a bridge too far, though.

 

[BMoore2]

^Covid will end up being the thing that ties us together. At least, it will once we can be together.

One county in Virginia does this. Meh, whatever. There are busy bodies everywhere. I think Dr. Seuss will make it. Is it worse for this one county to do this or for people to act like it's the end of the world? Both are doing the same thing. Working themselves into a tizzy about something that doesn't matter. Just breathe folks the vast majority of all people still love Dr. Seuss.

You’re defending censorship.

How long do you pretend that everything’s ok? It should be obvious that the left of growing increasingly intolerant and authoritarian.

I'm not defending censorship. This is a local school board decision. I assume they can vote in new board members and change their policy. That's how politics work. Why do people in KY care? Especially why do Republicans who used to be all about local politics care what people in other localities are doing?

Also there are literally thousands of books not allowed in school libraries across the country. They include things religious people don't want due to morality and things non religious folks don't want due to separation of church and state. There is obviously a line somewhere. I like the fact that local school boards can decide the line for their district without federal intervention. IMO there is just nothing to see here. It's making a mountain out of a molehill.

Star-Bellied Sneetches had Bellies with Stars. But Plain-Bellied Sneetches had none upon thars...
The Starr-Bellied Sneetches say, "We're the best Sneetches on the Beaches!"

If you can't see blatant and hurtful racism there, you must have skipped all your college sociology and humanities classes. How'd you like to be a Plain-Bellied Sneetch and try to raise you Little Sneetch to believe he was as good as any Sneetches on the Beaches?

Good for the mule-faced old maid librarian with the PhD in Women's Studies, and the close gal-pal friend in the sensible Doc Martens boots and the Subaru Forester who finally blew the whistle on this!

There are a ton of potential jokes simply by replacing Sneetches with Snatches.

However, I don’t want to get banned today.

So, I won’t touch those Sneetches, nor Snatches.

The doctrine of the "progressive" religion is far from limited to locally banning books and censoring ideas. This poisonous ideology is tearing up the fabric of American society and demonizing the values upon which western civilization was established.

Critical Race Theory bullshit is being pushed as core material for public schools, including the divisive "White Supremacy" nonsense. It's not a localized skirmish. It's an all out cultural war, and these f**king nutjobs are winning. The full force and influence of the corrupt, lying liberal media, big tech, public education, Hollywood, and government agencies have already revealed their allegiance to the cause and exerted their authority to establish this insanity and eliminate all moral and rational ideas that stand in the way.

The newly "elected" dementia riddled president signed a day one executive order allowing biological males to play on female sports teams and share their bathrooms and showers. They've got a transgender nominee for HHS who thinks gender confused children should have hormone therapy and genital mutilation surgery without parental consent despite the facts which show something like 95% grow out of this confusion in a few years.

And this is just a few examples of what they are pushing.

Morally rudderless liberals like you always try to minimize and justify it every step of the way. Others laugh it off or ignore it while hiding their shame and pretending some kind of moral superiority. Idiots. Hell, I'm not even a believer of Christian theology, but I can see what you idiots want to replace it with, and I fully support the values taught by Christianity and would fight to uphold them for the good of society. It's disgusting what the left is doing and for the sake of my grandchildren, I loathe the pompous, sanctimonious, liberals that are allowing this to happen.

You and several others who post in a particular thread above really get tore up by random shit that won't affect you personally. It's currently Sunday morning and you just typed out a novel-like rant that's going in all sorts of directions. It doesn't take several paragraphs to just type "I hate liberals and don't like that my guy lost in Nov. and I don't like what's happening in the country." We all know that's what you meant. You don't get extra Patriot Points for the amount of space you use in a thread to rant

We get it, you're angry. Your side is ALWAYS angry. The other side is ALWAYS angry too. Touching dipshits on both sides are exhausting to deal with on a daily basis.

I've had you on ignore (and will continue to do so). You offer nothing to the discussion. Only saw this by showing ignored content.

A main point I was stressing is that this is not "random shit". You can't argue against the facts I presented. You spew emotional nonsense about how you perceive my intentions. Typical response from you guys. Just like a religious nut backed into a corner. Seen it many times.

I think it’s personally fine to call this out for nonsensical stupid bullshit. I mean if you let it slide you empower people to think Dr Seuss actually is a white supremacy supporting racist. Which is not only bullshit but actually pretty messed up towards the guy and his family. It also weakens the argument when actual racism pops up. People should get push back on stuff like this IMO or else it could spread rapidly. Like an invading foreign insect or something, Same as the religious right getting push back, otherwise they become empowered and louder and keep getting more ridiculous.

Thanks for proudly proclaiming that you have me on ignore. That's a great power you have. Use it wisely.

Also, it's now Sunday afternoon, and you're still pissed. That's your only emotion in life. Stay pissed, my friend.

I may edit this part out at some point, but I'll add this. Goofy stories like this should be called out, because it's absurd. One thing I'll say to Ida and others of his ilk...call out all of the bs. Don't just angrily call out this dumb story, but stay silent when a certain person in power lied for two months about a certain event that took place in Nov, causing an insurrection last month. Don't pick and choose what to be pissed about. It's easy to call out this ridiculous story, but bury your head in the sand when a guy you adore is lying on a daily basis.

False. Ignoring insurrection stories from the past 4 years and then bitching about the one in Nov makes you as bad if not worse than the people you are trying to call out. Your were silent on the attempted over throw/coup of the former president which makes you as traitorous or worse than the ones committing the crime. You will only edit that part out if it makes you look like a buffoon to your peeps.

This is why it’s a big deal. If you’re too ****ing stupid to realize that once it starts it doesn’t end then I don’t know what to tell you. The goal is not to erase Dr Seuss. The goal is to erase Western Civilization and the tenets of it such as freedom, liberty, and individual rights.

Sure, guy. I thank you for your service, but you're a far right nut at this point, and probably have been for a number of years. How many social media accounts have you been suspended from for your extreme takes? I know the older generation seems to get suspended quite often, because they choose to believe every political meme and every Don Jr tweet.

None, I don't have any other account but this one. Actually, with age comes wisdom of having seen and live through the ignorance of liberalism. You are one of the far left loons that does not understand how you have been duped and believe everything the government tells you. Your postings have proven that.

That's very stupid, HOWEVER...there's not much detail in that article. The headline says "Some English Teachers..." Uh, okay, how many? The article begins, "A recent report says more and more..." Where is this report and what does "more and more teachers" actually mean? Again, how many? Is this a movement or is it a few dumbass teachers causing a stink and then sensationalism enters with this article. Also, I'm not able to access the School Library Journal link included in the article.

If this article was about our former President, you guys would be screaming "fake news!" But because the Daily Caller fits your agenda, you choose to post it and scream how you're losing freedom and liberty.

You’re right. It doesn’t list specific examples.

So instead we can list specific instances of cities and states removing statues and renaming schools named after American founders and prominent Western figures.

But that still wouldn’t be adequate for you because you won’t acknowledge that the left is systemically targeting and cancelling cultural tributes to Western values so I don’t see a point.

I mean, it's a bit rich saying I've been duped when you guys copied every word the former leader would say on a weekly basis. Wouldn't duped be the jackasses at the Capital? And again, at this point, you probably think Reagan is a far left loon. I've said most liberals are jackasses in the past. You guys wish you were in the Trump family tree. You embrace that love for the man. It's fine, I guess. You do you.

Anyway, we're completely off topic. Are we still be pissed about Seuss or no?

Well I've never seen anyone give up as easily as you just did.

"I'm going to post an article that proves MY point."
"Hey man, there's not much detail here. Like, at all."
"Okay, you're right, but let's now talk about something else..."

LMAO. I'm not playing the "Okay, so instead..." game. I plan on watching this (probably terrible) Terminator Dark Fate movie soon. Your article was trash. You owned it. We can move on now.

The article lists a study to support its claims. Just because you don’t have access to the study doesn’t mean it’s inaccurate or illegitimate. Yes, more detail would have been nice but you’ll gladly take that mistake to gloss over your side’s destructive and malicious agenda.

So are leftist cities not targeting statues and school names? And, yes, it is related to the theme of the article I posted so it’s not changing the subject or pivoting.

Do you disagree that the left is targeting Western, American, and enlightenment figures?

Ultimately it is individual rights that drives the left crazy. Because the left is so much smarter than everyone else, they need to tell those stupid people how to live.

A panel of leftist billionaires telling everyone else how they should live their lives while they themselves don't even come close to what they tell everyone else to do makes the left happy.

Do you have access to the study? If so, would you lend it to me? What you're saying is, because I can't see the study, I should believe it because you believe it too. Why do you believe this study that you can't see? Do you realize how silly you sound right now? There's literally NO DETAIL in the article and a study that NEITHER OF US can access, yet you're choosing to believe it. I'm just a guy on a message board. Didn't even go to college, yet I'm sort of owning you on this topic.

Because you keep wanting to move on to something else, yes, statues have been toppled and some want schools to be renamed. There's a proper way to remove a statue. Toppling it isn't one of them. School boards can decide whatever they want. If they want to change George Washington HS to John Wick HS, that's their right. It may be idiotic, but if it's voted upon, so be it. I disagree with calling everyone racist. Libs love that shit, just like whatever your side is at this point loves screaming "fake news" at everything but OAN.

Now, I do want to watch this shitty Terminator movie, so I'm going to do that and you can continue ranting and counting how many freedoms you've lost since I began this response.

Several umpteen genders, you can identify whatever you want to be and believe it. You have a president that could not draw 30 people to a rally, a vice president who could not get 1% of the vote for president, killing babies is ok but killing violent criminals and rapist is not and the list goes on.

No detail? The article names two specific teachers and schools and their stated reason for dropping Shakespeare. Considering the study was the cited source for these examples, yes, I believe the study to be generally reflective of its quoted material. Since we only have an evidentiary link to the study’s analytical thesis, we can only discuss that. If you have evidence that Shakespeare is not becoming increasingly cancelled then I’m all for it and will be happy to see it. So back to my main post...

I’m happy to see that you agree the left is targeting cultural institutions and disagree. Hopefully you vote accordingly.

Don’t have OAN and never watched a minute of it, so.

Enjoy your shitty movie.

 

[dgtatu01]

Lots of words. Still censorship. No amount of words changes that you are endorsing censorship in the public realm. Inexcusable.

You're right, I support schools making decisions about what children should and should not be exposed to in their schools. I think that decision should be made at a local level so if people don't agree they can vote new folks into their school board or move somewhere else where their beliefs more closely align with the local school board. I bet you do too, but you can't be outraged about this story if you admit that here so carry on.

For the record my kids read Dr. Seuss when they were young and I love Dr. Seuss books and I would not vote for someone who thought Dr. Seuss was inappropriate. But I don't live in Loudon County Virginia so I don't really care what happens there. In Clark County Indiana where I do live Dr. Seuss ain't going nowhere.

Our school does censor adult content off the kids laptops that they hand out though. I am sure that outrages you as well, but I am glad they do it.

In a previous post, you said the article doesn't list specific examples. Now you're saying it does and it's two teachers. Do you think that tiny pocket of teachers deserves an article in the Daily Caller and your handwringing about liberties being taken away? Just admit you enjoy drama and seek out these little examples of stupidity. And no, I'm not sure I can find an article saying that Shakespeare is not being cancelled because that wouldn't make sense. I also wouldn't be able to find an article saying that cows are not sometimes neon.

You have accomplished something though. You linked a shitty article with few examples, and you and I ended up writing paragraphs about it. That's probably what you wanted. An overreaction to a small situation, and unfortunately, I gave it to you. Now your article seems like a bigger deal, because we're going back and forth on it.

As far as your point on the left, many on that side want Confederate statues and the like taken away. It is what it is, but I still think you and others like you seem more upset over some statues and schools or ships being renamed than you do about an actual insurrection that took place because of the idiocy of some followers. The jackasses who enjoy rioting hated Trump, but guess what? They ain't fans of Biden and D's either and are probably always in "eff the system" mode. Sorta like some Trump fans. Both sides have that "burn it down" mentality at times.

I enjoy the back and forth though.

Adult content is not the same. You know that so stop it with that.

Saying it’s the right of the school board is a cop out. I’d say the same about Huck Finn, Catcher in the Rye, or anything else with actual words or themes that are troublesome. Again, this is some handful of wokesheviks deciding that something is suddenly racist.

and for God’s sake, stop with the “there but not here” wishful thinking. Cancer spreads if you don’t fight it.

 

[ganner918]

No book was banned. No book was censored. The school system is just celebrating "Read Across America Day" without any specific mention of Dr Seuss (whose birthday it coincides with). You can argue with the decision if you wish, but you've all been had by a corporate media who wins your clicks by pumping you full of exaggerated outrage.

What a relief! It’s not banned, just available when the ones in charge decide you can get it. Much like Biden’s plan for ammunition, it’s all in the language.
