"To Kill A Mockingbird" pulled for making people "uncomfortable"



"Throw Another Book on the Fire"
A nation of fucking pussy snowflakes who never want to feel "uncomfortable"


(Sun Herald)  -  The Biloxi School District got complaints about the wording in “To Kill A Mockingbird” — an American classic being taught in 8th grade English Language Arts classes — and pulled it from the curriculum.
It was an administrative and department decision, a member of the school board said, and not something that the school board voted on. It happened Wednesday or Thursday.
Kenny Holloway, vice president of the Biloxi School Board said, “There were complaints about it. There is some language in the book that makes people uncomfortable, and we can teach the same lesson with other books.
When asked Thursday morning if the book had been pulled from the course, Superintendent Arthur McMillan issued a statement five hours later that said: “There are many resources and materials that are available to teach state academic standards to our students. These resources may change periodically. We always strive to do what is best for our students and staff to continue to perform at the highest level.”
McMillan did not answer any questions on the issue.
Sun Herald received a email from a concerned reader who said the decision was made “mid-lesson plan, the students will not be allowed to finish the reading of ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ .... due to the use of the ‘N’ word.”
The reader said, “I think it is one of the most disturbing examples of censorship I have ever heard, in that the themes in the story humanize all people regardless of their social status, education level, intellect, and of course, race. It would be difficult to find a time when it was more relevant than in days like these.”
The current themes for 2nd term language arts classes in Biloxi this year are the Golden Rule and taking a stand. With “To Kill A Mockingbird” specifically, the teens were slated to learn that compassion and empathy are not dependent upon race or education, according to the school’s website.

In my own country ... we went the same path after our Revolution .In those few years after French 68 stupid morons heirs , and even soviet Mercador killers heirs too , we got a "curse" on some writers , and a cult for neo-realist ones close to Communist Party croonies ... `
I`m for no censorship , by also by free of choice , and porporcionaly in studies ... in those years a "minority" of "upper cleaver they say cultural croonies" try to clean our collective mind for propaganda , erasing the past ...
what they realy want was a soviet society , as we all Pioneers Scouts and declaming Ilya Ehrenburg "Bloodthristy" poems ...
Orwell as right from the start .
Rebel , and fight redfascist too, as they are the same as the blackfascists brothers of then .
