By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan and that the end is near. {5T 451.1}

A 1998 Disney movie is the latest victim of the real cancel culture: The Republican war on education

The Republican position on kids, education, and culture is solidifying: Children should not be exposed to anything that the most bigoted, fearful parent in their school objects to. To do otherwise would be to violate the “rights” of “parents.” The parents whose rights get so much concern are assumed to be white and Republican. The right in question is to control not just one’s own children but other people’s children and the project of education as a public good.

Florida high school pulls graphic novel adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary, saying it is ‘not age appropriate’

(JTA) – A public high school in Florida has removed an illustrated adaptation of Anne Frank’s diary from its library. It is the second known instance of this particular edition of the famous Holocaust book being swept up by conservatives seeking to purge schools of literature they deem inappropriate.

Typical of the handwringing hypocritical crying of the left leaning democrats. The original Diary of Anne Frank was not pulled from the shelves. What got pulled was the revision of her original. In typical fashion the left had to insert sex to make it more interesting. Where was the concern over book banning when it concerned Little House on the Prairie and other similar books. Maybe the problem was not enough sex or transgender paragraphs so they did not feel it right to whine about book banning. For some reason the schools cannot teach them how to read and write but a revised version of Anne Frank is all important

Missouri House goes for banning all the books, strips state funding for libraries

In a move combining both vengeance and ignorance, Missouri House Republicans voted to defund libraries in the state budget. Rep. Cody Smith, the Republican chair of the budget committee, flat-out said that he was going to cut the aid in retaliation for a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union to overturn a new state law banning sexually explicit material in school libraries.

Opinion A rural Texas county just blinked on library closures. Pressure worked.

It isn’t every day that the ruminations of local bureaucrats in a small rural Texas county become national news. But when commissioners in Llano County — population 21,000 — voted Thursday to keep its three-branch library system open, the moment was closely monitored by the biggest news organizations in the country.

Banned in the USA: State Laws Supercharge Book Suppression in Schools

The 2022-23 school year has been marked to date by an escalation of book bans and censorship in classrooms and school libraries across the United States. PEN America recorded more book bans during the fall 2022 semester than in each of the prior two semesters. This school year also saw the effects of new state laws that censor ideas and materials in public schools, an extension of the book banning movement initiated in 2021 by local citizens and advocacy groups. Broad efforts to label certain books “harmful” and “explicit” are expanding the type of content suppressed in schools.

It sounds like a law ripe for abuse. So what? The liberal left banned books before what was being provided for young children  became a issue. Where were those so concerned then? Pretty quiet, never heard anyone except conservative speak out.

Alan Dershowitz authored books that were banned, all for doing something that I mistakenly thought all americans believed in. Representing someone that the sainted left disapproves of. 

Personally I think this is a dangerous law, but has come about because of the left and the right pushing back against what they saw as inappropriate for their children. Before drag queens,graphic sex descriptions in books for young children, and secretly helping a young child become transgender you did not see such adament behavior from the right.

Cant prove it but I believe this is why the present situation with abortion. The left pushed and pushed to abort(kill) a baby right up the the birth date.  Pushing to deny medical care to those unfortunately born alive.

When it was more in the early months there was not this push back, but some are honest enough to admit to themselves that a late term abortion is killing a child. My so was born at 28 weeks. He was a living, breathing little human being, he was very much wanted but even if he hadn't been and I wanted to abort him,he still would have been a living,breathing little human. Yet there are "christians" that turn their backs on that fact and claim they can't interfere with a womans wishes.

Whether it is books, drag queen shows for young children, helping groom a child to become transgender without parental consent, abortion we have only scratched the surface. If left don't care about the banning of books by the left, get off the self righteous high horse when the right oversteps it's bounds

REVEALED: These ten books are considered pornography in Ron DeSantis' Florida

On March 8, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) conducted a press conference in which he purported to debunk the "book ban hoax." During the event, DeSantis claimed that Florida schools, under his leadership, were not banning educational materials. Rather, they were simply removing "pornography" from school libraries and classrooms. DeSantis claimed the notion that Florida was involved in book banning was "a nasty hoax because it’s a hoax in service of trying to pollute and sexualize our children."

How Should Adventists React to Book Bans?

Highly politicized book bans have exploded across the nation. Placing a book on a library shelf can polarize a whole school community. Threats to librarians and information professionals are on the rise, too; these normally mild-mannered information professionals have been labeled ideological groomers and pedophiles by conservative social media, denounced by local politicians, and reported by parents to local authorities for books deemed unacceptable in their school libraries.
