To Kill a Mockingbird Banned

[Chase PesosParticipant 2136]

Turns out the classic novel by Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird has been banned from Mississippi classrooms because it makes people feel uneasy.

Why not stop there, go after Of Mice and Men and the study of Islam in History classes.

All this is going to accomplish is banning everything based on feelings until kids only learn LGBTQ alphabet soup related mumbo jumbo.

It’s a shame what is becoming of the American Education system. I guess I jumped ship at the right time.

Wish me well at my interview Tuesday at a great financial firm. If I’m going to work my b~~~~ off, I might as well get paid so I can give back in my own way.

Peace

Chase a check, never chase a chick...

Cu,

Because it makes people feel uneasy is the exact quote from the articles I read on it. Reeks of the feminists.

This is one of my favourite books. What the hell makes them feel uneasy? Yes, it has a town accusing someone of rape for the colour of their skin (the accuser turns out to be lying white trash) whilst the central theme is that Atticus Finch (white) defends the black man in court even though people hate him for doing so, but he does it because it is the right thing to do.

Oh, I get it now. No, wait. No I do not. Because it mentions rape? Does it encourage rape? No, really. What?

The sequel/prequel/1st draft malarky can be banned for being a bit pants, but that book has Atticus being an actual racist. TKAMB does not. Why is that not being banned?

Just………..
Ugh.

Well, what do you think?
Mississippi has lynched more blacks than any other state in the country.

Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to repeat its worst mistakes.

That’s the whole POINT of the book.

SJW goose-stepping morons should really try reading books instead of burning them.

They should be banning trans-f~~~~~ry in schools.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

KM,

Had a boy transitioning into a girl early as 7th Grade in my old school. Hormone therapy at all, tried my hardest to stay away and not let my disgust show during conversations on the topic.

That and being a MAGA guy started making my double life stressful. It’ll be easier for me to deal with the bs of this life with less of those sorts of variables.

Maybe because the good guy is white as are the bad guys? White men cannot be heroic these days, by default. Never read the book, but the Gregory Peck movie was memorable.

I’ll tell you exactly why. It makes people “feel uneasy” because it pokes some Titanic-getting-shredded-by-the-iceberg sized holes in the “listen and believe” narrative. Add to the fact that the man falsely accused is a black man and they can’t stick the “muh racism/white supremacy” card in there either.

I think the unease has more to do with the false rape allegation at the heart of the book’s story than any racial issues.

Considering the racial make-up of the working hours warehouses Mississippi calls public schools, a story which portrays nearly all whites as evil and blacks as perpetual victims would be applauded. A book which states that women can and do lie about being raped cannot and must not be allowed however.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

The KM is right the whole point of the book is to expose the evils of racism. When the father of the “raped” girl says: “I seen that n~~~~ rutting all over my little May-Ella” you are supposed to be disgusted by his lie and his racism.

Its supposed to make you feel uneasy.
Thats the point of the f~~~in thing.

Liberals banning books.WTF

[Anonymous 54]

Snowflakes will be watching Marry Poppins movies from now on.
Until they ban that too.

When I was a kid, I was taught that book-banning and book-burning was harmful to society, and that free speech was essential to our country. Now, I’m seeing the same educational institutions banning books, banning free speech, and punishing wrong-think severely.

Oh how the times have changed.

Except she didn’t write it. While her name is on the cover and the story was her idea, Truman Capote ghost wrote the book as “payment” to Lee acting as his “beard” for over a decade.

Lee wrote nothing before Mockingbird and nothing after Mockingbird. A nearly half-century old “lost” manuscript of hers was found after her death and published posthumously. A very weak piece, it bears little resemblance in both style and composition to Mockingbird.

Stylometric analysis shows that Mockingbird has many hallmarks of Capote’s linguistic style.

Lee was just another woman taking credit for a man’s work.
