Sounds like something straight out of a dystopian novel, which of course would have been removed from the libraries, too.

I was going to excerpt a few lines from the article, but there’s just too much there. A couple sentences wouldn’t even scratch the surface.

I don’t want everyone to know everything.

I want minors to have limited access to materials that are pornographic.

They are not adults. They should not watch films
that are R or X for violence either.

This has nothing to do with pornography, and everything to do with controlling history.

It is Canada under Trudeau.

Librarians being ordered to take everything off the shelves, which was published before 2008, in Canada.

Canucks voted for this. Little Castro is giving them what they want.

In the spring, Takata says students were told by staff that "if the shelves look emptier right now it's because we have to remove all books [published] prior to 2008."

OMG. Everything published prior to 2008? Most of what has been published since 2008 is garbage. Perhaps it's time to just finish clearing the shelves and close the library. Re-purpose the space. Fire the librarian.

The board let the truth leak out. “…books published prior to 2008 that are …inaccurate…are removed.” He kind of snuck that in there along with the routine reasons for weeding out old books- worn, damaged, etc.

Canada really is on a high speed spiral into the ground.

I was responding to Repubnin CA’s statement:

“ I want everybody to know everything, whenever they might possibly want to learn it, no matter who that makes uncomfortable”

and stand by my position.

It's a reminder of ‘be careful what you ask for”.

No. It is not. It is a reminder that RTFA is still a good idea and that you didn't.

If you kill the ‘Fairness Doctrine’, don't complain that 35 years later your views are ignored by all MSM outlets.

I am sorry but have you been taking crazy pills?

The Fairness Doctrine was never enforced in such a way that our views were NOT ignored.

All it did was allow the networks to take a limp wristed panty waist that might have voted for Bob Michael and have three marxist beat up on him and declare that this was "Fair".

If reading history doesn't sometimes make you uncomfortable or even give you nightmares, you aren't reading history, you're reading propaganda.

And you feel very comfortable promoting your propaganda here.

So I am going to make you uncomfortable.

Shove off commie.

Sure, as long as *YOU* or I get to decide what is phonographic that great. When the left gets to decide it we’re hosed, but the precedent is set.

All censorship, by which I mean keeping anyone from any information, is bad.

Well you sure are in favor of keeping people from knowing the truth and spreading lies.

So I see you actually are in favor of censorship.

Your actions speak so loudly I can not hear a word you mumble out.

A commie is a fascist that does not know how to grow food.

Both are socialists.

And which are you claiming to be?

I would bet commie. They are as a general rule dumber and kill more people.

I’m in favor of everybody being able to read everything. Censorship is always bad, period. The only two kinds of people that disagree with that are fascists and communists.

Any restriction of what people can access to read is wrong, always and anywhere.
