I struggle with where to put this news its has somehow more weight but its the same WTF.
A Tennessee school district has voted to ban a Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel about the Holocaust due to “inappropriate language" and an illustration of a nude woman, according to minutes from a board meeting.

In an UNANIMOUS vote!
More disturbing the board members claim to not understand history
“It shows people hanging, it shows them killing kids, why does the educational system promote this kind of stuff? It is not wise or healthy,” School Board Member Tony Allman said about the book, which was part of the district’s eighth-grade English language arts curriculum.
Now either this is an organized effort to place conservative America at the heart of outrage and through moral panic gain power. As seen in Virginia and through out the conservative heartland we see things being banned, even if they don't exist. CRT for example leading to black memoirs being silenced. The thin offenses being presented are mostly graphic novels like Maus or Gender Queer. They want to bring up their kids without guilt or discomfort like the
DeSantis bill would do. Would make it much easier to commit acts of discrimination and hate on blacks, gays, and jews if your kids dont think. or...
Now maybe I'm wrong its not a conspiracy; these people are just confused by fictional characters. As seen with Tucker and his desire for a whorish green M&M, or potato heads, or Dr. Seuss, or the girl in Gender Queer, or the nude mouse women in Maus, or the
pregnant emoji of apple... and they will change everything to protect people from drawings puttin them idears in there.
