Texas school district orders librarians to remove a version of Anne Frank’s diary from shelves

Maybe the atheists are at it too, since the Bible is on the list. Seems like it's most any book that parents complained about.

These dipshits don't realize that the kids can either find the books they've banned at another library [a town library, or a county library], or online

Other books which will presumably now be removed include Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye,” Alison Bechdel’s “Fun Home” and Jon Ronson’s “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed.”Of the three above, I've only read Fun Home, Alison Bechdel's memoir which chronicles her coming out, her father's suicide and eventual realization that he was bisexual

I was a sort of WWII history nut in middle school, even read Mein Kampf which I got from the middle school library. Clearly why I'm a Nazi today.

Interesting, when I was in HS, I tried to read Mein Kampf. But it was so rambling and disjointed, I gave up (and, at the time, I was able to read many other adult books--well, at least well written ones).
Hitler's writing had/has a lot in common with Trump's unscripted speeches. Basically, just garbage.

Conservative activists want to ban 400 books from a library — but they aren't even on shelves
After nine months on the job, the library director is quitting. "Nothing in my background could have prepared me for the political atmosphere of extremism,”
https://www.nbcnews.com/...en-shelves-rcna44026
Their list of more than 400 titles predominantly focuses on young adult books with LGBTQ characters, scenes describing sexual activity or invoking the occult.
The only problem: None of the books are in the library’s collection.
Today's GOP has done a great job of attracting morons to the party.

For months, a group of conservative Christians have inundated the staff and board of a public library in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, with complaints about books they didn’t want to see on the shelves. Their list of more than 400 titles predominantly focuses on young adult books with LGBTQ characters, scenes describing sexual activity or invoking the occult.
The only problem: None of the books are in the library’s collection.
Quote:
They fumed that the library planned to join the American Library Association, a nonprofit trade organization known for fighting censorship that local activists falsely accused of “promoting pedophilia.” They started a campaign to recall four of the five library trustees over a policy against restricting access to controversial books, putting up signs around town that read: “Our Mission is to protect children from explicit materials and grooming.”Today's GOP has done a great job of attracting morons to the party.

The Bible has some brutal stuff in it, though. Sex, genocide, rape, incest, prostitution. Much darker than Ann Frank's diary.

Stupid people should not be in charge of anything. Smart people putting stupid people in charge of things for their own ends is what we continue to see from this party.

Probably worth noting that it wasn't Anne Frank's diary that was pulled, it was a graphic novel version of that book. Given that the diary has discussion of teen sexuality, sex jokes, contraception, etc, it may be that some parent objected to the pictorial representation of those pages in the book. I haven't seen the graphic novel, so don't know. I saw reporting that indicated the regular text versions of the diary were not on the list for review.
That said, the school district has apparently pulled them off the shelves for review based on the parent comments, and their superintendent has said that he expects them to be back on shelves very soon.

Because they were not capable of actually reading the book, they just looked at the pikturres.
How about this for a solution to their problem. Don't f*cking check out the book or better yet, be a parent and have a conversation with your child about the book and why it is problematic for your beliefs.
