Pride, an interesting choice.

Maybe your friend should have posted the rest, or you read the article yourself. The majority of the books banned are those with non-White protagonists, books dealing with racism, have any LGBT characters whatsoever. Even books about the holocaust and the Diary of Anne Frank are being removed. Don't accuse me of not doing my own reading.

Again this is off track from the main topic, not that I see much need to keep participating. 

Hi Slibhin,

I think your  enthusism  for finding fault with Americans and especially any Christian sharing of our Lord has you missing  facts and accepting fiction.  Take the Diary of Anne Frank as example. See this correction of the false tale shared on Facebook.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/08/29/fact-check-anne-frankes-diary-available-texas-students/7903221001/

Also I find your accusation to be rather odd timing in that I just barely finished mentoring a 14 year old on their ELA class assignment the past few weeks to do a paper on  individuals that  helped save lives of Jews  during the holocaust. Of course the story of Anne Frank and her helpers is included in that list.

More interesting to me though was the story of Marcel Marceau,  and his cousin who helped children escape into Switzerland. He is known as the  French Resistance's secret weapon.

My student did his report on the attack of Amiens  prison that was housing Jews and others of the French Resistance during WWII, with emphasis on the commander of that air raid that lost his life. The attack is called operation Jericho. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Jericho

My student dug in for further information sources to confirm that  many prisoners there were being transported from France to Germany  for the death camps at Germany.

As an aside: the National Archives and U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum at Washington dc, USA has sessions open to the public by online reservation to partake in their presentations and updates. The histories are still being uncovered to this day.

 I do think you are doing yourself a large disservice in seeking out ways to dislike Americans and especially Christians who only want the best for you personally. 

May God bless you with  peace, and some  rest that refreshes, providing to you strength and endurance needed.

You could strengthen your argument. your post, by adding examples of the books you are talking about.

Otherwise there is really no actual substance to examine to determine exactly what you intend to express.

And using the word "most" isn't always the wisest thing to do when you can't give some valid way to measure it, it just leads to further irreconcilable argument.  (most would indicate more than half, so shown one or two being banned out of a very large number is not fulfilling the requirement)

BTW, glad to see you posting, wish you well.

Again what was interesting to me was there were no in your face banners, 

Just because they do the Pride thing, they are working towards equality to all definitions of humanity.   The fact their clubs are not flashing and in your face, they really want to be left alone, hidden, out of sight.

This is all good and well until we get to education.   Everyone wants equal say in Education.  It don't have to be fact, like transgender, it just has to have feelings...as a man, if he feels like a woman.   That's NOT Insanity!! It means, he's a woman.   Education, actually no longer requires Logic, ain't that something?

It is tough, very tough on families today, perhaps like never before even though the "it takes a village"  but never a parent advocates have been at it for forty years or more trying to squeeze parents out of  their own children's education.

 I was fighting it as far back as 1975, when a teacher told me to stop teaching my child, that it was her job to do so, not mine.
