BIBLE PORN AND AMERICAN BOOK BANNING

BIBLE PORN AND

AMERICAN BOOK BANNING

The recent news of the Bible being banned from schools in Utah has caused quite a stir. But is the Bible really the filthiest story ever told? Let's take a deep dive and find out.

Firstly, let's address the absurdity of book-banning in general. Who are these people who think they have the right to decide what others should or should not read? It's like they've never heard of freedom of speech or expression. And when it comes to the Bible, it's even more ludicrous. This is a book that has been around for centuries, revered by millions of people, and yet some school districts think they have the right to remove it from their shelves. It's madness.

Now, let's get to the question at hand. Is the Bible really the filthiest story ever told? Well, let's see. It does have its fair share of violence, that's for sure. From Cain killing Abel to the plagues of Egypt to the crucifixion of Jesus, there's no shortage of bloodshed in the Bible. But is that really enough to warrant a ban?

And what about vulgarity? Are there really swear words in the Bible? Well, not exactly. But there are some pretty graphic descriptions of sex and sexuality. Take, for example, the Song of Solomon. This book is basically a love poem between two people, and it gets pretty steamy. Here's a sample: "Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies. Until the day breaks and the shadows flee, I will go to the mountain of myrrh and to the hill of incense." Yeah, that's not exactly PG-13.

But here's the thing: the Bible is not meant to be read like a novel or a work of fiction. It's a religious text, meant to be studied and interpreted in a specific context. To ban it from schools because of its content is not only ridiculous, but also misses the point entirely.

And let's not forget that the Bible is not the only book with violent or sexual content. Shakespeare's plays are full of both, and yet they are still taught in schools around the world. The same goes for classic novels like Lady Chatterley's Lover or Lolita. These books may be controversial, but they are also important works of literature that have stood the test of time.

So, is the Bible the filthiest story ever told? No, probably not. But even if it were, that wouldn't be a good enough reason to ban it from schools. Let's focus on teaching our children critical thinking skills and exposing them to a wide range of ideas and perspectives, rather than sheltering them from anything that might be deemed "inappropriate."

In conclusion, let's all take a deep breath and remember that books are meant to challenge us and make us think. Banning them only stifles our intellectual growth and limits our understanding of the world around us. So let's keep the Bible in our schools, along with all the other great works of literature out there. And let's all have a good laugh at the absurdity of book-banning in general.

ON THIS DAY: GEORGE WALLACE BLOCKS INTEGRATION IN ALABAMA - LOOK WHO TOOK HIS PLACE

 

ON THIS DAY: GEORGE WALLACE BLOCKS INTEGRATION IN ALABAMA 

 LOOK WHO TOOK HIS PLACE 

As we all know, billionaires are the new George Wallaces of our time. They stand in the schoolhouse door, blocking the path of progress and equality. But how did we get here? How did we go from a governor physically blocking the integration of a university to billionaires blocking access to education through privatization, massive student debt, defunding, and corporate reforms? Let's take a deep dive into this absurdity.

First, let's talk about George Wallace. The man who famously proclaimed, "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." He was a racist, plain and simple. He stood in front of the University of Alabama on June 11, 1963, trying to prevent two Black students from enrolling. It was a shameful moment in our history, and one that we should never forget.

But fast forward to today, and we have a new breed of segregationists. They may not be standing in front of universities physically blocking Black students, but they are using their wealth and power to prevent access to education for marginalized communities. They are the billionaires who push for privatization of schools, making education a commodity only available to those who can afford it. They are the ones who profit off of massive student debt, trapping young people in a cycle of poverty. They are the ones who defund public schools, leaving them under-resourced and unable to provide quality education to all students. And they are the ones who push for corporate reforms that prioritize profits over people.

It's a sad state of affairs when we have to compare modern-day billionaires to a notorious racist like George Wallace. But the parallels are there. Both groups use their power and influence to maintain a system that benefits them at the expense of others. Both groups are willing to sacrifice the education and future of young people for their own gain.

So what can we do about it? Well, for starters, we can call out these billionaires for what they are: modern-day segregationists. We can demand that they use their wealth and power for good, rather than for their own selfish interests. We can push for policies that prioritize education as a human right, not a commodity. And we can support grassroots movements that fight for educational justice and equity.

In conclusion, it's time to recognize that billionaires are not the heroes they claim to be. They are not benevolent philanthropists, generously giving back to society. They are modern-day George Wallaces, standing in the way of progress and equality. It's up to all of us to hold them accountable and demand a better future for our young people.
