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!
This is from one of the books that legitimately should have been banned. Do you not agree after seeing the image? That is directly from the book Gender Queer. Were you unaware that there are actual books that are inappropriate in the list of books that included ones that were fine?
Lol, “it isn’t authoritarian if they’re right to ban books!” Yes, this is part of how everyone knows you aren’t actually a liberal.
Porn should not have age limits? Is this what you are saying?
Weird, why would you think I said something that didn’t include any of the words I actually said? Is English perhaps not your first language?
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.
I dont know what that means or who you are referring to
And yet, in your ignorance, you’re perfectly willing to pretend that the sane person is the one who doesn’t understand the political spectrum. Fascinating.
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.
Kinda like Edmonton's response to Dani's book ban legislation? Just because no other school board has responded doesn't mean no other school board had issues. Oops, sorry - forgot I'm out of this discussion
Thats could be a good point, I am actually not up to date on Edmonton.
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.
🤣
