THE MORNING RANT – Do The “Read Banned Books” Activists Support Students Reading “Rush Revere” and “When Harry Became Sally”?
My wife and I visited a crafts fair at our suburban town’s community center recently, and I noticed that a volunteer had placed a sign on the table in the entryway that read “Read Banned Books.”
My initial reaction was annoyance, because I am fed up with obsessive left-wing activists poisoning every realm of public life with politics. Of course, the sign was referring to the “censorship” in nearby McMinn County, Tennessee of the book “Maus.” You probably heard about the McMinn/Maus controversy when the national media (which applauds censorship and de-platforming of conservatives by Monster Tech) suddenly expressed horror that one specific book related to the Holocaust was not going to be taught in McMinn County schools. Were students prevented from reading Maus? No. It was just not going to be part of the curriculum. The school board simply felt there were other materials more appropriate for teaching 8th graders about the Holocaust than one which features nudity, mental hospitalization, vulgar language, and the suicide of the character’s mother, all of which occur in the US, decades after WWII. Not mandating that students read that book is called “censorship” and “book banning” by the left. Fine. Then let’s talk about some other banned books that we conservatives need to get in front of our school kids. With leftist teachers and school boards across America obsessed with transgenderism and pushing it on school children, let’s fight to get “When Harry Became Sally” into school libraries. Here’s a book cover blurb:This book exposes the contrast between the media’s sunny depiction of gender fluidity and the often sad reality of living with gender dysphoria. It gives a voice to people who tried to “transition” by changing their bodies, and found themselves no better off. Especially troubling are the stories told by adults who were encouraged to transition as children but later regretted subjecting themselves to those drastic procedures.Or maybe "Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters."
Why, in the last decade, has the diagnosis "gender dysphoria," transformed from a vanishingly rare affliction, applying almost exclusively to boys and men, to an epidemic among teenage girls?In fact, let’s push for these books to not only be available in school libraries, but let’s make it part of the curriculum, so that these books must be taught. NOT teaching these books to school kids is censorship, right? And don’t forget, the elite media that invoked the specter of Nazi book burnings because one rural county in Tennessee doesn’t teach one specific book, is the same media that had no criticism of Amazon - which has a super-majority market share - for banning “When Harry Became Sally.” [The Daily Signal – 01/09/2022]
The online giant’s continued censorship of “When Harry Became Sally” is also “insulting to the intellects of people on the left,” Anderson said, because the implication is that Amazon has to “protect you from dangerous ideas [because] you are so fragile that if we sold Ryan Anderson’s book, what? He might persuade you?”Circling back to school curriculum, one of the enduring gifts that Rush Limbaugh left us was his “Rush Revere” series of children’s history books. Because these books are both patriotic and an excellent way to teach American history, a few non-woke school districts have actually adopted Rush Revere into their curriculum. Guess how liberals respond when a book from a patriotic American author they don’t approve of is taught to our children? Surprise! They want it “banned.” I’m alarmed that my child’s class is reading a Rush Limbaugh series. Am I overreacting? [Slate – 9/26/2019]
Find out for yourself if these books contain any subtle messages about minorities and their place in American history. Having the evidence to support your position will be important if you hope to eliminate these books from future classrooms.The stock answer to every leftist (including journalists) hyperventilating about “banned books” should be that “Irreversible Damage” belongs on every high school library’s bookshelf, and “Rush Revere” should be taught in every elementary school. Once the leftists who are so vehemently opposed to “censorship” help us get our books taught in schools, then we can talk about their books. But since the left will fight tooth and nail to keep conservative books out of schools, there is no “conservative principle” that demands we tolerate their propaganda infiltrating our schools.

The left has never been against "Censorship"; the Left is engaged in Ideological Indoctrination, which involves pushing material which favors their worldview, and violently suppressing and censoring all materials which oppose them.

There is no current purpose to school libraries.
Have all children use the overall community's libraries with library cards to which their parents have online check out "read access".
Equity enforced for all kids that way - public, private, homeschool, charter.
And this is how you play to win.

These are the folks that would cheer the idea of our being sent to the camps, and ultimately, the trenches.
They might be our neighbors, and seem friendly enough. But you've already seen 'em go full Maskengruppen through the plandemic.. hell, they're all in on just-following-orders, and they will. The rest is as predictable as the sunrise.

As someone who works in a university library (but not *for* the library), I always find "Banned Books Week" or whatever it's called completely ridiculous. No one is preventing any student from reading a so-called "banned" book. Our library has significantly reduced the number of physical books it carries in recent years to make more room for collaborative learning spaces for students.
Any student can use the online library resources to find and obtain a "banned" book if they are so inclined.
Idiots.

So Hitler would have crushed Homos, Trannies, and Pedophiles so these identities are especially good and holy. Cartoon World for cartoon people. What do I win?

Drumpf and Republicans are "threatening democracy" according these people. They also heap loads of praise on the Chinese model for their "stability" and also laud them for controlling COVID (Shanghai, what's that?).

Seriously, how many of them have actually read Huckleberry Finn, do you think? They'd only read Lolita to jack off and only read Catcher in the Rye to giggle over the word 'fuck'.

Of course, I'm guessing that the vast majority of school districts don't teach it now, but our young students will perennially be #1 in the world in outfitting cucumbers with condoms.

...I always find "Banned Books Week" or whatever it's called completely ridiculous.
Banned Books Week (or are we up to a month now?) is simply the opportunity for the people with the second most boring job in the world (after mine) to stake their claim to heroic heroism for risking... um, nothing at all really, to Speak Truth To Power by arranging some books on a table near the library entrance.

8 There is no current purpose to school libraries.
Have all children use the overall community's libraries with library cards to which their parents have online check out "read access".
******************
Speaking as a librarian, agreed. Parents should have the right to know what their kids are reading. But everything in the library profession pushes back against this. Including the ALA Bill of Rights. In section VII, it asserts that all people should have privacy in their reading choices. Librarians take this to mean all children, and most don't believe in any parental rights.
Also recently proven in the recent Follett Destiny software controversy, where Follett was planning to add an *option* for parents to not allow their children to read certain books. Librarians lost their minds (on Twitter, natch) and Follett caved.
And don't go thinking public/community librarians are any better; in fact, they are even more extreme. Most will tell you children have the right to total privacy.

SIDEBAR: A commenter says that nominating DeSantis would be a "gamble" because we don't know how he'd act when he gets to DC. [ ... ] He was an "extremist" as a Congressman, then ran for Governor in Florida, and governed as an "extremist" there, too. He's established his bona fides more than just about any other "extremist" candidate in history.
My worry about DeSantis - and anyone else, including former President Trump, who seems to be conservative - is what can he actually get accomplished in DC? President Trump was the most extreme and fighter of a conservative President as we have had since Ronald Reagan. And even he could not survive DC, because the entire Deep State (including 90% of the Republican Party) actively worked against him. That includes the leadership in the US military who actively worked against, and lied to, President Trump.
So, for me, it's not a matter of bonafides, it's a matter of ability to get things done. Bonafides and good intentions do not matter. Getting things done and being able to demand those who work for you get things done is what matters. DeSantis can get things done in Florida, but can he - or anyone - get things done in DC?

Start your own book publishing and distribution and retail business.

That point gets made about everything, and that's of course the problem. Every single industry moves as one mass to shut out and shut down and demonize and marginalize half of the population on behalf of the State & Party (doing the things those entities are legally barred from doing). The stock libertarian answer - "buh muh free marketz build ur own bruh" - isn't remotely close to sufficient.
When it gets this far, the answer becomes "start your own society, because this one isn't for you."

Spillover from last night's post on the kiddie-porn judge being confirmed with three GOP votes:
Do not be fooled. There would have been many more back-stabbing GOP votes to confirm this lunatic had the three usual suspects not publicly said they would vote yes. Her confirmation was a done deal at that point, giving the rest of the cowardly GOP cover to vote no. But if there was a "real" vote, then at least another dozen cowards would have voted yes.

They moved our main library to a new building. They put in more computers and a big game room for the teenagers. They added a classroom for computer classes. And they cut back on the books they have. They have to have security in the library to deal with the homeless that park themselves on the computers for most of the day. I used to check out stacks of books. I haven't been to that library in at least three years.

I will add to my #79 that I plan to vote for DeSantis, but after what the Deep State did to President Trump from 2017-2021, I am under no illusion that should DeSantis pull off an election victory that he would even be allowed to get anything done while in office.
I am also under no illusion that the Deep State is even going to allow any non-Deep State candidate to win another election again, since they got away with rigging and stealing the election in NOV 2020 and still control the voting systems in every swing state.
I hope to be proven wrong, but not counting on it.

So, for me, it's not a matter of bonafides, it's a matter of ability to get things done. Bonafides and good intentions do not matter. Getting things done and being able to demand those who work for you get things done is what matters. DeSantis can get things done in Florida, but can he - or anyone - get things done in DC?
Posted by: Clyde Shelton at April 08, 2022 11:29 AM (Do5/p)
If you're looking for an R candidate palatable to the DC crowd who can get things done, I give you Mitt Romney (or any number of clones)
They'll get things done. You just won't like them

101 I just got an "offer" from Amex that it would pay $260 if I signed up to stream the Disney pedophile channel.
Razorfist thinks Disney's finances are already in much worse shape than they're publicly disclosing, and that's why they've gone hard on gays (who typically have more money since they typically don't have kids). Paying people to boost their subscriber numbers doesn't exactly refute that.

They did take out that $6 billion loan a couple of years ago that they supposedly have paid back. Plus their cruise ships were idle for over a year and then operating at below capacity for another year. And their parks have been below capacity for a year or two as well.
Disney+ content costs money as well, and those Marvel shows are not cheap.
However, their last earnings call sounded great, though that was in no small part because of comparisons to the previous year which sucked.

The Wisconsin "Spring Election" turned out pretty well for the GOP. Republicans flipped seven county boards, picked up a state appellate court seat, won two of three seats on the Green Bay City Council, and came out as big winners in the Milwaukee suburbs' school board elections. Even the "experts" concede that the GOP is showing increased strength going into the midterms campaign season.

But do the gays have enough money to offset the losses Disney will experience elsewhere as more and more parents say, "ENOUGH!" to Disney and decide to spend their money at other actual kid-friendly venues (if any exist)?

Harry did not pull a sword from a stone nor attract a round table of knights. Yeah, the wizardry is Viking related, see Wodin, but Harry is Christ cuz of his mixed blood. Arthur was not mixed blood. Harry is all about racial identity.

Arthur as a Christ figure? Have you ever read "The Once and Future King"? Because....you may have a point there.
And just for shits and grins, I always thought Luke (Paul Newman) in "Cool Hand Luke" was something of a twisted Christ-like figure. Remember the final scene, after Luke escapes, and is in the Church all alone, and sincerely asks God for a sign? And the idiot George Kennedy shows up? And Luke laughs? Kind of an anti-Christ message, really.

This may be different. We have friends from church who cancelled Disney steaming over this. The past year has opened a lot of eyes.
Of course, I'm of the opinion that they never should have started, because Disney has been like this for YEARS, but MAYBE people are waking up.

Agreed. But the suggestion that Harry or Arthur or Luke Skywalker are Christ figures is ridiculous. Christ didn't defeat the bad guys on earth with determination and luck. He was a divine being who defeated death for everyone. The comparison is stupid.

The "comparison" is profane, but that still doesn't stop people from doing it in movies and stories.
It's a profane, stupid, sick and sad world.

Re the side bar and our minor internecine conflagration yesterday vis a vis Trump and DeSantis. Here's why I think Trump doesn't run- there's no upside, and if he loses, he owns it. If he wins, he's a lame duck and the deep state immediately digs in and repeats 16-20. OTOH, If he plays kingmaker for DeSantis and he wins, he retains huge influence (if DeSantis loses, he deflects to DeSantis as "not me"). DeSantis chooses Winifred Sears and wins 45 states against Warren/MaryPete.

On the public libraries, Covid has already proven you can adjust things...like having designated hours for school kids only.
I mean, my library just decided to delete 2 days a week all winter...nothing says 1 of those days couldn't become "school kids day" with no homeless allowed.
Again, you want EVERYONE to have a say in the library and its running/materials, not just a school board. And you want parents to know what their kids are reading/doing. And you want it cheap. Three for three, here.

In my opinion, any student should be able to obtain and read any book they damn well feel like. In addition to being a principle, it's also something that modern technology makes it very difficult to prevent: They can just log onto (various pirate sites) and get any textbook on any subject. They just need to know how, and want it.
Whether it is a focus of the curriculum is another matter.
I wish people had a better sense of the sheer RANGE of possibility for their children: What is possible, and to what extent their children are being crippled by a gaggle of bug eyed fanatics waging a war of political religion to turn their children into zombies of some shitty ideology or another.
In the early 20th century, it was not unusual, and expected for anyone at the upper ends of society, for you to speak/read/write several live languages and maybe one or two dead ones when you graduated HIGHSCHOOL. A few gymnasiums in Hungary in the early 20th century produced a large plurality of physicists and mathemeticians involved in America's nuclear and bomb programs, the development of computers, radical advances in mathematics and much more.

Removing Disney's home-rule municipal status would likely be a disaster for the Mouse, and I hope DeSantis makes them blink. The amount of litigation following that action, should it happen, will be astonishing and likely set a whole bunch of precedents.

Probably no small part of it, but as contrast is the Oscars which got 15 million this year. The Oscars, the highlight of the movie business every year, is a meager remnant of what it had been when it was pulling nearly 50 million in 2000. That is in no small part because the modern movie business refuses to hide its disdain of the American public and its values.
The NFL turned away from pain like a worm. Hollywood won't. The NFL is smarter than Hollywood.

There are a lot of people who just bet or build a fantasy team and then ignore it until they see the result, but this is rare. That latter is like the guy who buys scratch tickets and then just hands them back to the clerk to scan them and see if they won, without even bothering to scratch them.

At what point in that book series does Harry Potter spar with a god? Voldemort is never depicted as a god. It isn't even suggested! He is evil power hungry megalomaniac. That's all. And that is clearly conveyed in the books. He is not the source of all evil, again clearly conveyed. Luke Skywalker spars with an evil power hungry megalomaniac too. And your earlier point that he "doesn't pull a sword from a stone" is also silly. Luke has a sword called a light sabre, Harry has a sword of sorts also. Its called a wand.

I read Maus on my own back in middle school, loved it. The author was an underground comic guy kind of like Crumb, and did some subversive art. What's fascinating is that all the characters have depth. The dad that survived the Holocaust, in the modern day scenes with a grown up son, is blatantly racist to blacks (his son pointing out the hypocrisy), was a crappy father in many ways, and a crappy husband who drove his wife to suicide, and is in a bad new marriage. He didn't hero worship the dad character, ie his dad. It's a kind of naval gazing graphic novel memoir of his life but it's honest, really good way for older kids to learn about the Holocaust.
I don't think the nudity of the mice in the camps is the problem. That's what the left harps about. The second volume of the series has his self-insert cartoonist character talk about the suicide of his mom, drawn in the cartoonist character's supposed comic style, and we see his mom begging to be loved by his cold father and there are naked exposed breasts. And then we learn later she committed suicide and I think that he blames his dad for her death. That was weirdly more disturbing to me than the Holocaust scenes.

Your child might learn to see further than anyone ever has in mathematics, unravel the secrets of the universe, build amazing technology that transforms the world, become versatile, conversant and able to move within any time and place on Earth. He/she could become a creature that would seem miraculous and superhuman in ability to the sad wrecks of most of humanity. Victorian/Continental society managed this too generally in too many times and places for it to be dismissed as some freak accident of innate ability.
But your kid isn't going to learn any of this from predatory losers that are hyperfocused on their damn gonads.

To be honest, I'm somewhat surprised that here in the 21st century libraries and physical books are still a thing. IMO it's all about keeping the revenue stream going. As far as kids go, it seems to me it would be easier and more effective to inject the info you want your kids to ingest directly onto their smartphone or tablet or whatever. I figure a lot of school systems are doing this already and even diligent parents could be clueless as to what's on the state provided tablet or laptop little Johnny is using.
We only found out about it on our g-kid's laptop because while he was here it had issues and we actually poked around on it in order to fix his connectivity issues and found all kinds of shit.

Just this week Republicans took over almost every school board in Wisconsin. They didn't do it by boycotting, they did it by fighting back.
I'm not giving up football anymore than many here aren't giving up Hollywood which is way more woke than football. Or gaming. Or Amazon. Or anything else the left has infiltrated. But I'm also not taking a knee and if some wokester wants to give me shit he will get it back in spades.
We don't win by quitting.

You would need two shows. One for the parks, which would be a routine police procedural. The other would be for the executive ranks and would be a long series slowly exposing the true depravity and criminality that flows down from the top.

238 Norm MacDonald once calmly and gently dressed down a comic over the comic's deliberate misreading of Harry Potter's extensive use of Judeo-Christian scaffolding and the lousy joke that followed:

Ace can speak for himself, but I certainly think Trump showed a lack of discipline and strategic thinking at times. Instead of assuming every seeming blunder was some sort of 11th dimension chess move. I too, at times, smacked my head and said to myself, "why didn't he just keep his mouth shut?" I don't think that makes me less conservative. I freely admit the possibility I was wrong and it was in service to a strategy I couldn't discern. Otoh, some people (many) were off put by his actions.

Another thing on the Disney kerfuffle that doesn't get mentioned enough.
Disney moved a whole bunch of employees from California to Orlando last year. Suddenly, these progressives are living in Florida because of their jobs, and they hate the culture. They are using their overinflated clout at Disney to try and implement social change in their new homes.
I think that explains the new tenor of activism from Disney. A large number of Florida employees hate living there.
And yet, they're still vastly outnumbered by the new residents who are registering as Republican at record numbers while Democrats lose registration numbers from the past few years.

"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
JC did have to obey his Father ("not my will but thine be done) to accomplish the mission, but indeed he had the pure blood (only begotten son of God) to do that, even though he was tempted in all points, like as we (are so tempted).
But yeah, all the "Christ like" figures can't "save" us spiritually, but they at least emphasize the importance of obeying a higher power (but in Hollywood, it is usually a fake power). Even worse, imo, is when they make "superheroes" as the Christ figure.
We can't wait for a Hulk or Spiderman to act on our behalf, we must act despite not having those kind of superpowers. (sure, we have some super powers as Christians, but not like the comic book counterfeits). The world is deception.
