Tennessee school board votes unanimously to ban book about the Holocaust

[Guno צְבִי]

Irrational? Guno Hates people ... because of skin color ... and their Christian Religion. He seems quite clear about it. It's because of 'Past Wrongs'.
I support Brotherhood (Fraternite'). I support 'Dia de la Raza'. I support a Humanistic approach to problems. I reject the Occult, Superstition and Magic as productive endeavors.

I am mixed race jack-ass and for over 2 thousand years we have been on receiving end of christian "love"

The soviets played a big part


On the eastern front and on January 27, 1945, Soviet troops enter Auschwitz, Poland, freeing the survivors of the network of concentration camps—and finally revealing to the world the horror of the camps

Did the Soviets feel 'uncomfortable'? 'Guilty'? 'Ashamed'?

You are truly a fucking simpleton.

Black Hebrew Israelites are not associated with the mainstream Jewish community, and they do not meet the standards that are used to identify people as Jewish by the Jewish community. They are also outside the fold of mainstream Christianity, which considers Black Hebrew Israelism to be heresy.[8] Black Hebrew Israelism is a non-homogenous movement with a number of groups that have varying beliefs and practices.[5] Various sects of Black Hebrew Israelism have been criticized by academics for their promotion of historical revisionism.[9]

The Black Hebrew Israelite movement originated at the end of the 19th century, when Frank Cherry and William Saunders Crowdy both claimed to have received visions that African Americans are descendants of the Hebrews in the Bible; Cherry established the Church of the Living God, the Pillar Ground of Truth for All Nations, in 1886, and Crowdy founded the Church of God and Saints of Christ in 1896.[10][11][12][13] Subsequently, Black Hebrew groups were founded in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from Kansas to New York City, by both African Americans and West Indian immigrants.[14] In the mid-1980s, the number of Black Hebrews in the United States was between 25,000 and 40,000.[15]

According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), "Some, but not all [Black Hebrew Israelites], are outspoken anti-Semites and racists."[16] As of December 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center "lists 144 Black Hebrew Israelite organizations as black separatist hate groups because of their antisemitic and anti-white beliefs".[17] Former KKK Grand Wizard Tom Metzger once remarked to the Southern Poverty Law Center, "They're the black counterparts of us."

Thank You. My sentiments exactly. But ... YOU seem to support Cypress and his 'Christian Compassion' rants.
See. Jack, doesn't believe the 'Christian Compassion & Mercy' line they like to extoll. I don't believe it.
It's like Trump telling people "I won the Election". Some people want to believe it. Others know it's not true, but just repeat it anyway.

Religions. The real Hate Groups.

From the OP article:

'"Parkison said two or three board members came by his office to discuss the book and its rough, objectionable language." One board member, Tony Allman, said in the meeting that educators "don't need to enable or somewhat promote this stuff," according to the transcript, and cited the book's author's past history of creating graphics for "Playboy."

“It shows people hanging, it shows them killing kids," he added, describing the depictions in "Maus" of true historical events. "Why does the educational system promote this kind of stuff? It is not wise or healthy."'

This is NOTHING to do with religion.
And EVERYTHING to do with 'objectionable language'.
I don't agree with banning ANY book...but whatever.

You are clearly trying to make this religious (because you are Jewish)...when it CLEARLY is not.

Lighten up.

Tony Allman must be a stranger to video games.

To the editor: Only 1 in 10 Jewish children survived World War II; I am one of them. The sight of that man in the shirt with the words “Camp Auschwitz” appalled me beyond the pale. I was reminded of the seldom-remembered burning of the Reichstag in Berlin in 1933.

More than that, we must call for a renewed commitment to teach Holocaust and World War II education in all our schools. Not because I’m Jewish do I urge President-elect Joe Biden and the new secretary of Education to mandate this; it’s because anti-Semitism is the canary in the coal mine, warning of worse to come. It starts small and becomes a Holocaust.

Thus, we must teach about what happened in Germany during the 1920s when a little-known man, Adolf Hitler, wrote “Mein Kampf,” which was mocked and ignored at first. I fear that Trump could rise again, just as Hitler did.

(CNN) I thought it was a comic book. I first saw this book called "Maus" on the shelf in the guest room of our Nashville house. I don't remember why I was looking at the books. Maybe I was just a bored 17-year-old looking for something to do. I just remember being confused, because as far as I knew my parents didn't own any comic books. And why did it have a swastika on the cover? But I picked it up, sat down on the couch and started to read.

As I flipped the pages, I felt myself becoming a little disoriented, unclear why this book was telling the story of the Holocaust in this way, with drawings of Jews as mice and Nazis as cats. But I was quickly drawn in, flipping pages faster and faster, then pausing, going back and trying to process the visual narrative of Art Spiegelman's graphic novel instead of just skimming words. In the end, I felt unsettled, unsure of what I just encountered, but sensing it mattered deeply.

Back then, as a bookish Jewish teenager, I was pretty sure I knew a lot about the history of the Holocaust. My parents were historians. I was, it turned out, pretty good in history class. I had read "Man's Search for Meaning" by the survivor Victor Frankl in eighth grade.

But "Maus" was different -- I was pulled in by the choices made possible by the medium itself. It was hand-drawn, the mice at once distinct as characters (the author, his mother, his father and their community) but at the same time rendered into a mob of animals fit only for slaughter by the Nazi cats. The triangular shape of the mice's heads evoked long-held stereotypes about the shapes of our faces as seen by our oppressors, while also conveying warmth and even humanity.
