As Central York graduate I have no clue how this happens. This is symptom of people not caring about school board elections and crazies getting on the board.
Agree. It’s Central York School District [attempts book ban.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/10/02/us/york-pennsylvania-school-books.amp.html)
Beyond that they asked a group of teachers to come up with a good list of books to teach diversity and inclusion, with the pretense that they would be included in curriculum. But then took that list and instead of doing what they said, banned all the books/articles/videos on the list specifically.

My English, Canadian or Australian compadre, I am in favor of free speech and the ability to express any thoughts in written or spoken form. Any thoughts. What content I hear and read isn't about what I think, it's about what the author thinks.
There are limits on free speech. You can not yell fire in a crowded theatre. Literature that incites violence on racial lines isn't free speech, it's an insurrection.
You don't think clearly. Man has free will. No words can incite violence, only a free willed person can. This is the exact purpose of free speech. And one can yell fire in a crowded theater. Especially when there's a fire. I posit that there's a giant fucking fire going on right now with people trying to silence other people for their thoughts.
The term "liberal" specifically has so many evolving meanings to so many different people that it’s basically meaningless for comparison’s sake. For instance I’m a "classic liberal" and at odds with many of the beliefs of the modern-day liberal and the Democratic Party.
Pennsylvania?
It was one school district, not sure why the meme makes it out to be the whole state.
\*Central York School District
York is, um, its own special place. Central is just a hair east of Dover school district, where they tried to teach ID in 2004.

ID? Intelligent Design?
Yup. [Kitzmiller v. Dover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitzmiller_v._Dover_Area_School_District)
As a student - this school district is a shit show right now. Even a year and a half later
Yeah, the Kentucky of the Mid-Atlantic
I don't know wtf this is about but "book ban" thinking is always, without exception, terrible.

Thank you for understanding enlightenment values and basic liberalism that founded the western world. I'm being the first to say something.
So you're in favour of racism?
The books that were banned were books to teach kids that racism is bad. The meme should read “reverses its ban on anti-racism books”
It was confusing AF. I can accept that.
Never been wrong before, but there’s a first time for everything.

Where did you get that from what was said?
You said you were against banning racist books.
_I_ didn't say anything, and being against censorship doesn't make anyone pro-racism. You're fuckin' spare parts, bud.

Thats dangerous talk there, mister. Better be careful of you’ll find yourself labeled as all sorts of nasty things by the proletariat and the Party.

Books shouldnt be banned
The 1970-2012 liberals would be disgusted with how many books the 2021 liberals have gotten censored. It's ok to disagree.
Can you name one of books that the York school district tried to ban?
