PepeSilvia Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 https://www.breitbart.com/news/book-about-holocaust-banned-in-tennessee-school-district/ Seems like the book banning by the snowflake conservatives has begun. Also, I used Breitbart because I know most of you refuse to read anything from actual news sites. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It’s not the historical information of the Holocaust that got the book banned, it’s nude photos and language inappropriate for a HS library. There are many award winning books that shouldn’t be available in a school library for photos, language, or graphic sexual content. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I actually showed Schindler's List to classes years ago, with parents able to opt out their students. None did. “It shows people hanging, it shows them killing kids, why does the educational system promote this kind of stuff? It is not wise or healthy,” School Board Member Tony Allman said about the book, which was part of the district’s eighth-grade English language arts curriculum. .... The Tennessee school board emphasized in the minutes that they did not object to teaching about the Holocaust but some were concerned the work was not age-appropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess, you’re the type of parent who only wants your child to learn that everything in history was great and peaceful so as not to harm their fragile little minds. You’re naïve if you think 8th graders don’t see and speak much worse than what’s in the book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quoted the article to give some actual context as why they didn't want the book shown to pre-teens. I didn't say I was for censoring it.

ObiOne Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 You want to know who downplayed the Holocaust? Dimnuts! https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/10903 The reason is that the American media in general and the New York Times in particular never treated the Holocaust as an important news story. From the start of the war in Europe to its end nearly six years later, the story of the Holocaust made the Times front page only 26 times out of 24,000 front-page stories, and most of those stories referred to the victims as “refugees” or “persecuted minorities.” In only six of those stories were Jews identified on page one as the primary victims. Nor did the story lead the paper, appearing in the right-hand column reserved for the day’s most important news – not even when the concentration camps were liberated at the end of the war. In addition, the Times intermittently and timidly editorialized about the extermination of the Jews, and the paper rarely highlighted it in either the Week in Review or the magazine section.

Like censoring dissenting scientific opinions. And by the way read above. Dimnuts censored the Holocaust. Not conservatives. Guess you don't want to discuss that small issue.

Do you really think conservatives as a group are trying to downplay the holocaust? You think conservatives don't want their children to know how it goes when SOCIALISM goes too FAR? Quite the opposite, but you dimnuts cherry pick one story and try to turn the truth around. A lot like happens with racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
