Thread: Banned Books in Arizona

Books Banned in Arizona – Group ‘Librotraficante’ Fights Back | Addicting Info
Tucson Unified School District - Press Releases

Arizona banning history books focused on Hispanic history and culture.

I think banning any books is a crime. But these ones don't seem very bad at all. Banning books is a crime against critical thinking.

/facepalm

Ethnic book ban even includes Shakespeare - New York Daily News

Shakespeare is too focused on Hispanic culture too.

Not exactly new, but it only just came to my attention.

That is because you don't live in the great state of Arizona my friend, you see this is a response to a finding that the Hispanic studies program in Tucson engendered hatred of White Americans by teaching people about such things as the Mexican American war and letting children explore there heritage. The result was a threat to remove all state funding from Tucson schools if they did not fall in line. Therefore we ban books about such things.

It's true, this is the state that we live in and all this crap is giving us a bad reputation. Unfortunately this type of shit attracts other retards that think alike and then come here to support that stupidity. Did you know that Arizona was the last state to officially recognize Martin Luther King Day? Want to know what year Arizona finally gave in? 1992.....fucking 90's already and the arrogant fools still didn't wan't recognize the day. It actually cost us the Superbowl, it was scheduled to be played here in 1990 but because AZ would not recognize the day, the NFL cancelled it.

When the SB1070 law was introduced, we lost 140 million dollars in cancelled lodging alone from conventions that were scheduled to be here.

By the way, American Psycho isn't banned though (if you've read the book, you'd know why I find it funny when "non-harmful" books are banned yet books like American Psycho aren't).

Can we still teach Native American studies? Those are great for causing hatred of the "white man" (I'm not kidding, I was shocked at some of the stuff that just sort of skipped over in school).

white devils!

Lol. A former Spanish/Mexican territory not able to teach about its past.
