PLEASE do not be distracted by the shiny object.
Most book-banning efforts are being driven by dark-money “Moms For Liberty.” In an age when most kids can access virtually ANYthing on their phones, MFL is protesting books at school board meetings and hogging the headlines with their drama. Why? Because they have been sent here to distract you. Instead of parents uniting on issues like increased public school funding, smaller class sizes, better teacher pay, fighting vouchers, and gaining improved resources for students, Moms For Liberty has us in-fighting about a few (probably seldom-read) books in public school libraries. This is by design. Please ignore the noise. If Moms For Liberty show up at your school board meetings trying to get books banned, focus instead on what they’re working to distract you from. If you would organize to protect library books, or free speech, organize ALSO for school funding. Punch back against vouchers. Fight for the future of America’s public schools. Don’t waste your time fighting Moms For Liberty. Instead, spend your time fighting the Kochoctopus behind them. |
Thank you for not saying Kochtopus |
And who is funding those 11 crazy fascists? Why? Is it, as an above PP posits, a little show for us to focus on? Because I would say that sliding toward outright fascism with censorship and the consequences that follow on from that is in itself an important thing to focus on. Obviously deep dark money is behind this, probably the same money that boosts the GOP across the board and helped get three fascists installed on the Supreme Court. |
Add Biden's inaugural poem to the banned list

Fake news. It wasn't banned. |

If it was removed from some libraries, it was banned for those kids. So, yes it was. |
