Did they just throw away the books - or did they burn them?

Probably doesn’t matter - with our ‘teachers’ the kids can’t read anyhow.

Also extensively done in the USA in 1917 as part of a deliberate fed directed program to excite hatred for all things German. Thousands of volumes by German authors such as Kant or Heine or just about Germany were publicly incinerated. In St Louis the very valuable special collection of German language books was burned in front of the main city library. All to whip up war fervor because the government knew there was substantial anti war feeling in the general population.

It is hard to believe that these fools actually believe the brainwashing. Every one of them should be shipped off to North Korea and drink deep of their beliefs.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Ironically, this would include “Fahrenheit 451”

Was just about to post the same.

In 1821 Christian Johann Heinrich Heine wrote: “where they burn books, they will ultimately burn people also”.

He was a German journalist, essayist, and literary critic.

Do we think the Leftist American types would hesitate to do away with Deplorables when the time comes?

“We are less racists when we come together over our future rather than separate over the past.”

Which was the exact trajectory we were on until 2008.
