You know some of the same books banned by the far right, in your area, are also banned on my area, but by the far left. Example being The Handmaid's Tale. The far left in Toronto banned it under the guise it was racist, while the far right ban it because women equality.
you suck at posting. you should lurk more
[Citation needed even more than you need to lose your virginity]
Fake. Fake story. The right are literally the ones banning it ccla.org/press-releas...
Lie ⬆️
Why, yes, it *is* incredibly obvious that you’re lying about the “far left” here. Have you ever wondered why your political beliefs require you to be dishonest?
My comment isnt to say the far left is worse than the far right. Its to show that extremists on both sides want to control everyone else.
So? Normal people look at the far left and say “wow, some of those folks are crazy!” Right wingers elect the far right to run countries. We are not the same.
Again, no evidence 🤣
Huh? Do you know what extremist means
Yup
One thing about extremists is they are authoritarian / totalitarian. Do you really think extremists on the far left dont want to control everyone to the right of them, just as the far right does to those to the left of them?
no, I don't
Uh, I'm not. They deemed the book was racist, in one of the Toronto school boards and was banned a few years ago as well as other books such as to kill a mockingbird. Our school boards in Canada are so far left and extremist that they are being appointed supervisors from ministry of education.

And yet you provide no evidence 🤷🏻♀️
Somebody already looked it up, surprise, it wasn’t the Left at all. Nor was it a ban. bsky.app/profile/dbee...
No this is not what I was referring to, I found it was the Peel District School Board. I also found the far left in Surrey BC doing it to 4 other books.
No you didn’t. I read the article about Surrey and they didn’t ban anything.
No mention of Peel in those articles. And Surrey is pretty far right, you know
BC is NDP, which is far left extremists.
Oh please. NOW we see what your thinking of "extremist" is. Too funny. End of discussion
An extremist is far right or far left. I am liberal and on the left myself. Trying to control what people are able to see and listen to or what they can create is an extremist tactic. Right now, the EU (far left extremists) are trying to censor and control the internet, as are others. Carney
Man, you took the Overton Window and just burned the house it was in down. It’s laughable to claim that the NDP or the EU are “far-left”.
Thanks Joe
I did some digging and found it and more. It was Peel District School Board, which is part of Toronto. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024... Surrey BC is also banning books under the guise of "racism". To Kill a mockingbird being one of them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
Surrey didn’t ban any books. Do you post these and just hope nobody reads the sources to see if they agree with your claims?
I think that they did
Took ‘em off a reading list, per the article he linked.
True, but their motives are the same. They dont want anyone to read those books because of the beliefs of the ones removing them from the list, for delusional reasons.
“Yes, I was wrong, but I stand by my wrong claims because I need to in order to keep saying ‘But Both Sides!’”
And of course the motives aren’t the same? As the article you linked says, parents thought that maybe black children shouldn’t be forced to read racial slurs. On the other hand, it’s people who were mad about a book that said maybe violent misogyny is bad. Good (intentions) vs evil Not the same
Maybe doesn't understand the difference? Or so unhinged by the evil "Left wing" that there is no understanding?
Guys like this often don’t actually read the articles they link, just the google summaries. There was one who used to follow me around on Twitter and he *complained* that I’d read them and then tell him what it actually said.
😂😂
Here is an example of a book I support banning in children's schools. Do you think children should read this content? This is from the book "Gender Queer".
Oh, so by your own definition, you’re authoritarian? How surprising!
Left wing is good, so is center and so is right wing. Far left is bad. Far right is bad. Now do you understand?
Yes, everyone understands that you’re trying to distract people from the fascists taking over by pretending that literally anyone listens to the fucking tankies.
You don’t even realize how incredibly biased that second paragraph is, do you?
Plus there is no mention of "the left" wanting to ban any books. The Supreme court decision related to the Surrey case - which was prompted by the right.
There is no mention of Toronto in either of those articles. Plus, "The district made clear that the books were not being banned. They are still available in school libraries." They have been removed from recommended reading lists. I still don't agree with that, but there is a difference.
"Peel" is a region within Toronto.
No mention of Peel
I hope you know that I am against most of these book bans as well, I am simply trying to show you that extremists on both sides are doing it, not that one is better or worse than the other. You have to watch both sides.

Again, no mention of the "left" doing this.

"PDSB formulated their weeding methodology to comply with a directive issued by (plot twist!) Education Minister Stephen Lecce himself ". The gang in Ontario is not exactly left-wing 🤣🤣🤣
Note that no other board had this issue and used the same instructions.
Actually they are pretty left wing, Lecce was a useless twit. He allows males into female washrooms and changerooms, for example. This is a far left attack on females, not right wing at all.
I am going to use my computer and see if I can do an advanced Google search or duckduckgo perhaps.
I will try to find it for you. The far left control the search engines and perhaps have made it harder to locate. I will try though, and get back to you.
Its hard to find, I actually tried to find it and couldn't. Margaret Atwood was upset at it herself. Right now all search results only bring up Edmonton, even with Toronto in search term. I will try and find Margaret's post about it.
You are a lying dumbass. Delete your account
What the fuck are you talking about?
Lol. Define far left
you know somehow i strongly doubt that you live in China, Vietnam, Laos, or Cuba.
Far left organized over this? Doubt it
That sounds made up!
Tell me you've never read The Handmaid's Tale without telling me that you've never read The Handmaid's Tale.
If only there were some sort of organization in Canada where we could verify the accuracy of that information... www.freedomtoread.ca/challenged-w...
A single parent? Cmon idiot
Reading comprehension, friend. You might need to spend more time in the library.
Also notable, The Handmaid's Tale is in the Toronto Public Library's Book Sanctuary along with 49 other frequently challenged books. TPL joined the international Book Sanctuary movement to ensure anyone with a library card had access to these books. toronto.overdrive.com/collection/1...
Far something but not left
So, not banned
Is the "far left" in the room with you now? Made up bullshit
There's exactly one place in the book where race is even alluded to and it's in the context of black people being persecuted Just stop making shit up. It's not smart. It's not even clever
It's obvious that this three-brain-celled troll doesn't even know what the book is about, much less ever read it.
Source?
OP pulled it out of their ass lol
Banned in Toronto? When? By whom?
you know, that time that the far left were in power
Who?
Farouk and Lefty
Not in Toronto sweetie 😘
she was joking sweetie 😘
About the”far left” being in power and banning Handmaid’s Tale?
no, Kimberly and the person who said that are different people
When the statement was "you know, that time that the far left were in power", I also asked for clarification but didn't get it.
When I asked Kimberley who banned the book in Toronto, the answer I got was "you know, that time that the far left were in power". Which prompted my followup question. To which I got no answer.
Yeah, because it was a joke that went over your head. Don't worry, you'll catch the next one.
When was that?
you don't remember? the far left? they ran on the slogan "when we we're in power, toronto, stop reading!"
No I don’t. Who was this?
sometimes i just say words and describe things i made up in my imagination, my mom says im very creative
It's honestly impressive to be simultaneously as wrong and as unfunny and as unoffensive as this account. Normally, even the most vile person is going to hit one of those notes, at least accidentally, but not this guy. A whole feed of "huh, he really thought he was doing something here". It's art
