Yeah, the US has a great history of moving certain demographics to a separate section in order to appease bigots.
The government has never done anything bad by censuring certain people due to their identity. It's the government, and they're making dozens of small decisions in small, right leaning rural areas which has no effect on the people there.
Moving a few books 20 feet is a little different than forcibly moving minorities into shanty towns.
You made it pretty clear in your original comment that you don't see the issue.
And then you provided evidence to support that.
Not surprising given your blatant bigotry.
Its an odd choice, but I wouldnt get bothered by it.
Id be more concerned a public library has a porn section.
Also, if you read the article, youd see they were moved to the social section.
Okay, then how about the fact that the books were removed on religious grounds. Please enlighten me as to your justification for how using religion as a pretext is totally fine, but educating children as to the reality of human social interactions, is heinous?
Again, you do not care. It's just whatever fits your narrative.
They weren't removed.
They were just hidden. On religious grounds, by bigots. Which is the only reason you're defending them.
I wouldnt consider proudly displaying on a shelf "hiding"
I wouldn't consider intentionally misfiling books anything else. Of course, you're only saying that because they're hiding books about the minorities you hate. You know it's hiding and support it because it's hiding.
And you keep ignoring anything about government doing this on religious grounds. Since your repeated lies in support of bigots have made it clear that you don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, I won't waste any more time with said benefit. You want a fascist theocracy run by bigots like yourself.
Why'd you change your username?
I get why bigots would want to hide children's books from children. After all, they don't want their children taught that the minorities they want to murder in camps are people.
But why should anyone else want to hide books from the library patrons they're written for?
