ReplyDeleteWTF is going on in USA's red states like in Florida to need to ban some BOOKS and the real history of USA??
ReplyDeleteSince then, it looks like those retrumplikkkans want to put people in ignorance to be more able to fool them.
In Canada and here in Province of Québec we got rid of those censure of any thing after getting Catholic religion out of our schools and politics.
This is the issue in USA where you put religion, Evangelicals, influencing your people in charge.
If some consider "thinking" and "reading" to be dangerous, corrupting minds and such, those people need to read MORE, not less, of many books from different authors to build a better, more well-rounded individual out of their kids. Feeding them the "same ole stuff", of their liking, gives the kids a slanted view or reality. Perhaps the kids will then realize their parents were not that smart, anyway? Perhaps the parents are scared their kids will ask them questions they have not knowledge of how to answer? Ignorance can be harmful and deadly, in some situations.
ReplyDeleteCertainly, what a kid reads should be age-modulated, typically. BUT a parent should be knowledgeable enough to carefully abandon the "you're too young to know" orientation toward a careful, thoughtful answer the kid can deal with. After all, all the kid wants is answers. Good answers are desired, too.
I'm kind of surprised the right-wing people have not come up with their own version of WkikPedia or similar. Or have they and we didn't know it?
I recall that a certain person in Germany in 1936 start by banning books he disapproved of the by burning them in mass organised demonstrations! Take heed! Regards 🇬🇧 GayBob x
