Does Deeming a Book Inappropriate for Children Equal Banning?

In the 1990s, many school boards across America began removing The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from their schools’ libraries and deeming that book unfit for instruction.

At first, this news alarmed me. How can we deprive young Americans of Mark Twain’s renown wit and incomparable storytelling? I was assigned Huck Finn in high school, and I loved it.

But then Huck Finn’s critics reminded me of Twain’s profuse use of the word, “nigger.” Oopsie. Maybe those school boards were right? Maybe Huck Finn isn’t appropriate for young minds?

School boards are well within their rights to deem books inappropriate for the children they serve. And if a school board doesn’t want to subject its students to a book that profusely uses the n-word, or claims “Jews run the world,” or details how to engage in anal sex, I’m okay with it.

And I’m okay with it because I’m not a political retard. I know that a school board deeming a book inappropriate doesn’t mean that particular book is banned. Any publisher who wants to print Huck Finn, for instance, can lawfully do so, and anyone who wants to buy and read Huck Finn can lawfully do so too. Here’s the Amazon link:

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Okay, groovy freedomist, that’s all I got. Our Woke Overlords tell us school boards all across America are “banning” books in an effort to appease the twisted, hidebound impulses of their MAGA constituents. Do you believe them? Or do you believe the people who don’t know what a woman is don’t know what book-banning is either? Let me know what you think when you get a chance. Peace.

It should be noted that the banned book you cited, Huckleberry Finn, was an ANTI racist work. It showed the noble black man, e.g. Jim, in contrast with the various white scalawags, thieves, and swindlers, e.g. the Duke and Dauphin. Moreover, it shows Huck’s character arc from indifference (nobody killed in the steamboat explosion except some n—–s) to compassion for Jim who happens to have dark skin.
This means that either the race hustlers are stupid, or they’re being obtuse to djinn up racism where there is none, OR they’re both. After all, in the words of Jussie Smollett, this is MAGA country.

    Nice. I love it. Revolutionary Americans had their pamphlets. We have our memes.

The isms need total media control to keep their fantasy world alive for their useful idiots. They can censor or ban YOUR media but not theirs.

  Yes. Welcome to the world of Marx Crow (i.e., revenge tyranny against whites, men, Christians, etc.)

There is such a thing as age appropriate. For example, cigarettes and alcohol may be easily purchased, but not by 14 year olds.
Driving an automobile is also limited to age as is joining the military.
Books may be bought and sold at booksales and bookstores and the internet, so a ban is not taking place, merely a decision of when such material may be accessed.

  Amen. Exactly. Any parent who doesn’t agree with a school board’s decision regarding the age-appropriateness of a book is free to supply his child with that book.
