Parents: reads what's in some of the books in schools
Teachers: "I'll ask you to not use profane and rude language like that, Sir"
Look it up. That actually happened
Look what up? What exactly do you want me to write in my search engine? I copied and pasted your entire first two sentences and got no results.
I vaguely recall this and it did happen, I wish I could link a source.
It’s kind of out of context though. You can support having a book available with profane language and suggest that people not use such language at a school board meeting at the same time.
Ah, my old enemy,
I whole heartedly agree with you. Context and language does matter.
That's why using the term "ban" is completely disingenuous. There are some books that were removed from school libraries (and in a very small amount of cases, city public libraries) based on their subject matter. These books were still WIDELY available to purchase in book stores and online.
Nothing was "banned". They were just removed from public school libraries.
Turns out it's possible to have books in schools that contain language that is inappropriate for a classroom. Any decent teacher would still allow you to discuss the book, but that doesn't mean said language is ok outside of that context, and children are smart enough to make that difference if we allow and teach them to.
What in the world are you talking about?
I could do the same thing with the book The Color Purple. That doesn't mean we should ban The Color Purple
I read huckleberry Finn in high school, but that was one we weren't allowed to read out loud
"thatll teach them damn librals"
Oh yum that sounds like a cherry picked list of lascivious moments from great literature taken out of context and lined up against the wall together until they look like a pornographic paradise. Surely this is how we should evaluate material!
Romeo and Juliet is kiddie porn - a veritable manual for pedo groomers!!!
