Left burning more books for PC
Not exactly burning, but two seminal anti-racism books of the past are being pulled from the curriculum in Minnesota because they use offensive words. History is being white-washed to avoid hurting people's feelings. Huck Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird are pulled.

These people are just demonstrating how uneducated they are.

It's child abuse to keep Huck or Tom from a boy.

I could almost understand their objections to Huck Finn, almost, but to object to Kill A Mockingbird is insane. Talk about cutting off ones nose to spite ones face...

Huck Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird violates the left’s current ideological tests. History is apparently just another egg to be broken to make the omelette.

They should be so proud.

Burning/banning books...

And they like to compare the right to Nazis.

Actions speak louder than words.
