“This week, a principal evoked outrage from the larger community after ordering a librarian to remove posters with a quote from Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, peace activist and author.

Central Bucks High School South librarian Matt Pecic said on Wednesday a principal ordered him to remove four posters with Wiesel’s quote because they violated the new policy.

The quote is from Wiesel’s 1986 Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech: “I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

p.s. this is suburban Philadelphia. Not the Bible Belt.[/quote]
Not sure why you think “this is suburban Philadelphia” is some winning argument. As you should be able to infer from this op ed by the non-crazy members of the school board https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/central-bucks-school-district-lgbtq-bias-policy-20230118.html the school board has been taken over by right wing nuts. So them telling the librarian to take down an Elie Wiesel quote (FFS) is just more Republican fascism. [/quote]
I don’t think I’m the only one who wouldn’t expect this normal suburb to have this many right wing nuts on its school board. [/quote]
