Anonymous wrote:Burning books is certainly a bad choice of words. We don't want to burn any books in the USA, but limiting what books are available to kids in schools is not unreasonable. Books should be age appropriate, and kids should not be forced or indoctrinated into politically charged ideologies.

However, I would also argue that Big Tech censorship is the modern day equivalent of book burning. It's convenient to claim you are only censoring "misinformation" and "hate speech" - But who gets to determine this? Sometimes Democrats will call a political opinion "hate speech" simply because it is a position held by most white conservatives. Sometimes they will call facts "misinformation" for bizarre reasons. For example, someone posting a personal bad reaction to a vaccine will get hit with a "misinformation" label stating that vaccines are extremely safe. The fact that vaccines are usually safe does not make someone's personal experience "misinformation". The truth is the truth. Of course the Wuhan lab leak theory was called "hate speech" until investigations revealed that it might possibly be true.

I could go on and on, but the point is censorship is bad and prevents us from openly sharing ideas and arriving at the truth.

Start having your children check out library books from there schools now! (Ones you do NOT want in our schools)At the school board meeting we will have a fire pit in the parking lot. And will burn every last one of them you bring. Yes, at the end of the year, we will have to pay for them. But this year no one will be able to check them out. Feel free to bring marshmallows and a stick.

You can't just borrow something - knowing full well you don't intend to return it & in fact want to destroy it - and then pay the same fine that's paid in case of accidental loss or damage, then expect to go right back to being trusted to borrow school property. If that book burning event happens, that's just nuts.

Did you read Jeff’s post? The GOP literally wants to burn books.

+1
But that's common sense. Does not compute here.

Your wild strawmen and gaslighting are getting you nowhere. Other than two school board members in Fredericksburg, no one wants to burn any books. They simply don't want inappropriate sexual content in public school libraries. You can easily pick up all the trash you want your kids to read at any public library. No worries.

Wasn’t that Youngkin’s winning platform? We keep hearing that you all voted for Youngkin because of local school boards.

Make up your mind.

WTH are you talking about? Once again: two random SB members does not mean a majority of people want to “burn books.” Your hyperbole is idiotic.
