The purge of books from Orange County Public Schools, in Orlando, over the course of the past semester is the latest consequence of a conservative movement across the country — and strongest in Florida — to rid public and school libraries of materials deemed offensive.

They use offensive as an excuse because they would look like Nazis otherwise.
Didn’t work. They still look like Nazis to me.

Cowards do cowardly thing. News at 11.
“Trump is quoting fascists!”
“Can you back up your assertion with real book citations, yeah, didn’t think so. You’re all just part of the woke Internet.”

Maybe we should round up the conservatives and send them to re-education camps. I don’t think anyone in any history book has ever done something like that to any groups of people, so it should be no problem. What’s the worst that could happen?
