I like the 1984 reference. The book itself has probably been pulled from the library. But pretty much everything is available on the internet these days anyway.

Audiobooks? Here's an AI project that does automatic creation of them - Large-Scale Automatic Audiobook Creation

All books that do not meet the social justice, DIE, transgender, LGBQ+ standards will be removed and burned.

[Old Grumpy]

That’s unbelievable. Most “older” books are so much better and educational (in so many ways) that what’s currently popular.

Inclusivity is ridiculous. The left doesn’t want that, it just panders well. Inclusivity would mean no private clubs, or private anything, for that matter.
Inclusivity is another leftist Trojan horse.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Probably because none of them covered the Kawandan Super-civilization that ruled the world and put a man on the moon.

[OpusatFR]

This is a joke right? Babylon Bee style?

[TomGuy]

When will the book-burnings commence?

Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 included.

[Seruzawa]

Lunatics everywhere

[dfwgator]

“Year Zero”, just like the Khmer Rouge.

If you REALLY want to be ironic, it also includes various works by Marx and Engels.

Orwell’s 1984 deserves a more detailed quote on this topic:

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

1984 was not supposed to be a government handbook.

The “Ministry of Truth” has spoken.

Inclusivity even in its most well meaning sense would inevitably lead to mediocracy or worse.

Inclusivity is, at best, watering down of excellence, at worst it’s the exclusion of excellence.

Kurt Vonnegut prophesized it in “Harrison Bergeron”

“The year was 2081 and everyone was finally equal.”

The Rats will claim that the Republicans want to do the same by eliminating homosexual, trans explicit books from school libraries.

Who’s right?

[Billthedrill]

older books will remain in the libraries if they are determined to be “accurate, serve the curriculum, align with board initiatives, and are responsive to student interest and engagement.”

"Align with board initiatives"? So what are those? Does the Communist Manifesto comply? The Constitution? The Bible?

[GreyFriar]

The maximum of stupidity.

[MtnClimber]

A way to make room pack the shelves with trans and gender queer books. Don’t want them to be too hard to find.

[Salman]

The revolution starts in the Year Zero.

2008 is purely arbitrary as a way to get started.

You should do some research on the Weimar Republic and Magnus Hirschfeld.

Beg pardon. That was far from the only book burning the Nazis did. The ones that made the newsreels were at major universities all over Germany and included everything by Jews.

[nitzy]

Ok. So you don’t know who Magnus Hirschfeld was.

That’s ok.
