When a lib gets cancelled, all of a sudden, it's not so funny...LMAO

They call it ORWELLIAN!

No shit...hypocrites.

So the TN school board that voted to remove this book by a 10-0 vote is.. liberal?

Well said indeed. Great take

And also a great irony that the OP thinks this amounts to a cancelling, when overall the effect will be the exact opposite.

How so?
Banning books is a good thing, Herr Kabbage?

How many?
20-30 maybe.
Funny they called "Orwellian" as if that was bad, and then they play the Orwellian card bt banning books.

Did we learn nothing from history? Well. aside from you, that is.

Tom already answered that - 20-30 maybe.

When something is all over social media, that's usually about the audience. Tom is on the $$ as usual

That's like when Neil Young tried to cancel Joe Rogan...or when people like you try to cancel Tucker Carlson.

I get it.

But what does that have to do with the irony of this guy calling it ORWELLIAN? Yeah, no shit it's Orwellian...now wake the **** up and do something about it.

He of all people should be familiar with "First they came..."

Of course, no kid in eighth grade has ever heard profanity. Come on. All of us heard profanity long before eighth grade. Some of us even have used it. And anyone whose parents took them to an Art Museum has seen depictions of female nudity. That is not why the school board banned this book.
