People here looking at this meme don't need to, and the ones that need to don't understand what the big deal is ?

Why does this have downvotes? Why you gotta treat me inferior just ‘cause I’m on the grill B? Yo, turn around, I’m standing right here.

I grew up in Lubbock, Texas and I had friends that weren't allowed to trick or treat on Halloween because THE DEVIL. I am only surprised-

That you all are surprised.

Flap. Fuck. Yeah, you could be right.

Makes more sense than 'fart.' Though that too would be humorous

Yeah none of those books are banned in libraries. Where is your source other than your pandering for upvotes.

I thought the handmaid tale would be loved by conservatives. I guess because it's a book about women.

Pretty soon Republicans will start cancelling people just for being black......oh wait.....

For once this was one that didn't need a /s. The 'pfft' did a decent job of conveying that. +1 to you, good sir

Not sure why they'd ban The Handmaid's Tale, seems like the world they want
waznewz
Banning any book is bad, just because it written by hitler, doesnt make more or less worthy to be in a library.
NiskanensBureaucrats
None of them. None of them should be canceled. For different reasons - but 100% none of them.

Is Mein Kamph actually allowed according to the school boards?
JackHerge
I mean, we germans allow it, although the commented version. So, given how right-wing some US politicians are, it should be no issue.
TheRicM
Yes, Cuban B

I'm still impressed they got Linc from the Mod Squad in that film.

Yup, legend

So which of those schools that have removed Maus from the curriculum carry Mein Kampf in their libraries, or include it in the lesson plans?
williamrichards
People can't even get Texas and Tennessee straight you expect them to engage in this debate honestly?
NETNES
The problem isn't can you Maus be ban it's should you ban maus? Why or why not? Same thing goes for Mein Kampf can you ban? Should you?
stja
The problem is Maus is not banned, it was removed from a couple school curriculums. Mein Kampf was never in any, so it was not "not banned".
BlacknCrimsonRose
I think the problem currently is people focusing on the fact a book that isnt part of lesson plans currently is equated to books banned.
BlacknCrimsonRose
It distracts from the very good point you brought up. Changes the narrative to one they'll reject just as easily for lacking base.
NETNES
Your choice supports you ideas. And that reflects you as person.
Feralkyn
It isn't banned.
DemonFluffer1000
Did they really ban 1984?
FlyingScot
No, they did not
DemonFluffer1000
If they have, that would be a good signal to start storming the Bastille as it were.
monimoomo
1-Yep. And Florida schools are trying to ban teaching anything that would make kids uncomfortable. Topics like slavery and segregation.

For anyone wondering, the comic this is altered from is junji ito's adaptation of Frankenstein, and yes it rules

I thought it was a weird pheonix wright comic

Junji Ito you say?

I didn’t know that Ito did a Frankenstein, but I’m completely unsurprised and mildly intrigued

It didn't officially release outside of Japan until 2018, I think

It's one of his best works.

Maus yes, but there is no actual proof of any others being banned the only thing people has linked are twitter comments.

BenWyattCalzoneKingandIceTownClown
Books should not be banned. Period.
unclesporky
What if the book is written by Joe Rogan and features the n-word repeatedly?
NETNES
Yes they should. If one teaches you about the mistakes that happened and the endorses the mistakes that happened. which would u rather read?
BenWyattCalzoneKingandIceTownClown
I would rather you pick up a book and learn english before you type again.
ChaosSound
Also they haven't been banned, they were removed from the curriculum.
coreunit
If you wanna teach the Holocaust diary of Anne frank is a much better option that doesn’t involve naked mouse boobeis
kakivara
What if you want to use both? Why isn't that an option?
thedudeman519
Naked mouse boobs? You mean the human boobs of his dead mother in the bathtub after she committed suicide? Get your facts right .
RazzleDazzle69
Just draw a male nipple over it. That way it doesn't have to be censored.
Ialwayslookhungover
Totally. Nobody should ever show how dehumanizing it was being inducted into a death camp. Only happy, fun imagery. /s
coreunit
Teaching what happened to cartoon mice means nothing compared to teaching what happened to real ppl.
Ialwayslookhungover
Right, because allegory is a made-up city in Narnia.
DoctorGonzo37
Cool, so we can we get the unabridged version where she talks about menstruating and discovering her sexuality?
coreunit
If you want to sure. I think it would detract from the goal of teaching the Holocaust but whatever floats your boat.
TheBigBadBonerBiter
The fucking mental gymnastics in citing mouse boobies as reason to ban Maus while being passive about Anne Frank's masturbatory adventures.
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
English teacher here. You don't read Anne Frank just to learn about the holocaust. If my only instructional goal was getting information 1
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
about the holocaust into kids' heads that's an extremely inefficient way to do it. You read Anne Frank so that kids understand what the 2
haveyouheardabouttheseinternetmemes
lived experience of jews during the holocaust was like. To that end, having them read the parts about Frank discovering her sexuality is 3
coreunit
If your only information was from 1 book about cartoon mice it could be easily played off as fake. Luckily we have hundreds of books 1/2.
coreunit
2/2 & accounts of the situation where no longer teaching 1 of those books matters.
feren
Funny how a half-nip in a single panel across an entire graphic novel is what you choose to focus on.
DarkZalgo
And it's a panel which is about said mouse committing suicide. The nips aren't even in a remotely sexual manner whatsoever.
feren
Shhhhhh, you're ruining the outrage narrative.
coreunit
I provided an option that should appease everybody involved.
nudes4jesus
i usually hate slippery slope arguments, but this is exactly an example of one being real. you don't appease fascists. they will use
nudes4jesus
bullshit arguments to get there way bit by bit by bit. that is a bullshit reason to ban a book, and you know it is.
coreunit
Book isn’t banned it’s just removed from the curriculum. You can prolly still find it in the schools library.
PiggyWobbles
but it wouldnt, because what they want is whitewashed history and one mouse nip slip means nothing in that pursuit
