I believe there was a Chinese emperor a long time ago who ordered all books of any kind to be burned. He wanted history to begin with his reign, and all the things that happened before his time were totally unimportant.

Generally, this would be considered madness. But here we are.

SOB!

What’s the problem? It’s not like they’re actually teaching kids to read anymore.

Well then… the responsible librarians are no longer needed. FIRE THOSE LIBRARIANS IMMEDIATELY.

Wow, 50% of their school library books were porn?

This is nothing but the school and library poking a sharp stick in the eyes of parents and students.

It’s called “spite”. The woke librarians are being pissy about being told to take porn off the shelves.

This same thing was done at the school where my wife teaches.

Destruction of books that cannot be assuredly woke.

You cannot find Little House on the Prairie, The Hobbit, Beatrix Potter, Winnie the Pooh, etc.

Down the Memory Hole they went.

No books written before 2008. Not even the Koran? “1984” was not supposed to be an instruction manual. 2/3 of Canadians vote Liberal (far left) or NDP (insane left). The saying you can vote yourself into socialism but you have to shoot your way out has never been more true. Canadians allowed themselves to be disarmed. So they are screwed but good

We all know the public education system’s games. “If you insist that we get rid of the library books that we like but you do not, we will just get rid of most of the books that you like as punishment.”

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

If this can be a ‘Christian Nation’, then it can be a ‘Muslim Nation’. If you can take Harry Potter off the shelves then you can take the Bible off the shelves. People want to limit the age at which kids can be exposed to things, but if a 7 year old Jewish kid had to go through it, a 7 year old American kid can darn well be exposed to it in full, horrific detail. If you kill the ‘Fairness Doctrine’, don’t complain that 35 years later your views are ignored by all MSM outlets.

I want everybody to know everything, whenever they might possibly want to learn it, no matter who that makes uncomfortable. If reading history doesn’t sometimes make you uncomfortable or even give you nightmares, you aren’t reading history, you’re reading propaganda.

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.

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.
