Apartheid IsraelThe Llano county in Texas is considering shutting down a whole library rather than let books, whose titles are “They Called Themselves the K.K.K.: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group” by Susan Campbell Bartoletti and “I Need a New Butt” by Dawn McMillan’s stay on their shelves. Republicans in the county claim that the second book, which shows a cartoon depiction of a baby butt, is pornographic. We are entering the stage where American fascism is out of control as it attempts to indoctrinate our children in accordance with medieval, anti-human rights practices.
From their perspective, a hardly-mature girl with an undeveloped mind can become a porn actress at the tender age of 18 and practice her trade craft for the world to see, but a library cannot show a cartoonish image of a butt. If these hillbillies, backward Republicans really cared about pornography, why not fight pornography instead of infringing on the rights of every American parent to decide what their children can and cannot read?
They are even objecting to the use of the word “fart” in children’s books. Go figure this fanaticism and extremism.
Is it possible they could dismantle the history of this country in an effort to expunge the notion of slavery all together? You bet, it is.
SLAVERY? WHAT SLAVERY?
If the same people who live in Llano county had the power to write our history by banning books like “They Called Themselves the K.K.K.: The Birth of an American Terrorist Group”, which educate our children about the ugly racist history of white America, they would simply erase any view that would discuss such an important subject as slavery.
Is it possible they could dismantle the history of this country in an effort to expunge the notion of slavery all together? You bet, it is.
More than that, they are working hard on introducing church-based libraries that would turn the clock backward on learning to those medieval, Inquisition-based times. Make no mistake about what the harm the ignorant can inflict on our society if we let them decide what books to ban in libraries.
They won’t stop taking away our freedom, the same way they cannot stop killing and lynching black people, no matter how costly it is to their own liberties.
APPLAUSE FASCISM, PLEASE
Behind the scenes, the Republicans are applauding these efforts because they know that the more people learn, the more their eyes might open to the Republican agenda of only supporting the rich and powerful for their own self interests, which center on staying in power in perpetuity. Meanwhile, they are also using the state-level legislators to ban black representatives from ever holding high office.
American white fascism is rearing its ugly head in the form of banning books that would enlighten, banning black politicians to maintain their grips on every facet of the American life, and forcing women to carry fetuses against their will.
With American fascism on the rise and kicking, our own freedoms and liberties are at stake. We cannot let a bunch of illiterate rednecks dictate their ideology on the rest of us, and what is happening in Llano county may come to every library in every state in the country if we don’t stop them now.
They won’t stop taking away our freedom, the same way they cannot stop killing and lynching black people, no matter how costly it is to their own liberties.
