>A government school district in Alaska just banned 5 books:
>• The Great Gatsby
>• Catch-22
>• I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
>• The Things They Carried
>• Invisible Man
>"Teachers are no longer permitted to use the books."
Why did they ban these books, Yas Forums???
Because they're fucking terrible.
>>• The Great Gatsby
coz no white kid is gonna wanna read about rich black people
This ban should've came much sooner desu.
Who needs books when they can just go to drag queen story time and have some make up slathered pedo fagoot read to them? Get with the times boomer.
>catch-22
>book about the horrors of ww2 and the effect it had on pilots
the fuck
they're doing their students a huge favor, all those books are complete dogshit
It reeks of feminism
this
>The books, considered literary classics, are: “Invisible Man” by Ralph Ellison; “Catch-22” by Joseph Heller; “The Things They Carried” by Tim O’Brien; “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou; and “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
> The books are considered controversial because of descriptions of rape and incest as well as sexual references, “things that are pretty serious problems, especially in our teenage world,” said Taylor, a Wasilla business owner.
yeah there's a fake virus on meant to strip all global citizens of rights to bring in the technocratic new world tyranny by some real pieces of shit, time to enact every machiavellian wet dream while everyone is busy being scared of a fake virus. yikes better give up all liberty burn all books and trust cnn. dont forget to worship the bleach blond two bit whore who fucked the professor at community college for her two year 'nursing degree' so she could film tiktoks of herself doing cringe dance for internet popularity points.
What's their reasoning for banning these books?
This but unironically.
I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
incredible how you can
see right through
they used shit loads of stereotypes in ye oldie pulp.
h.g scared the people of the past because he said their might be things they can't control. and he scares the people of the future because he said things they can't control.
to be fair, rape is literally the first thing literally any man would do if he became invisible. if anything, it's a documentary
They should probably stop teaching history too then
Is this real?
I don't see Mein Kampf on that list.
Hey chan bros, my google broke, help me out.
the invisible man movie that just came out is such feminists globalist trash, white man bad white man bad, i dont know why they would ban it when Hollywood had already jewizied it.
How come a 5 year old can get his dick and balls chopped off and turned inside out IRL because his parents convinced him he's female but a 17 year old can't read a book about a guy chopping his balls off and throwing them off a bridge?
new curriculum will be
>~catcher in the rye
>~naked lunch and cities of the red night
>~tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn
>~the alchemist
>~justine and juliet and 120 days of sonoma
>~anne frank fuck my pussy I like women edition
>~on the road and the karma bums
and nothing of value was lost
This
Agreed. If their parents don't love them enough to read for them, someone has to.
Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man is not literally an invisible man. Great book though.
Morally repugnant
teenagers can't handle the sex and violence in them
Things they carried and Gatsby were some of the only decent books I was ever assigned. Not good, but decent.
>Catch-22
One of the best books I ever read.
Why wouldn't it be?
The Great Gatsby was fucking terrible, I have no qualms with that one. It was the absolute worst book I was told to read in school, I hated everything about it and that stupid movie too.
>The Great Gatsby
Because he depicted a jew as a mobster and not an innocent saint unjustly victimized which is the only acceptable depiction of jews in fiction
>Catch-22
>The Things They Carried
Lots of gallows humor and raunchy jokes and events that take place because they both depict soldiers and soldiers fuck around to cope with being in a war, something the authors understand
Don't know the other two, but I assume they were all banned because they were written by white men and American education is trying to push out as many white male authors as possible to rewrite the mythos of this country as being entirely the creation of women and nonwhites.
I had to read the grapes of wrath, but I was already pretty red pilled in high school and I knew I was being propagandized so I gave the teacher shit at every turn.
