Style guide update: When progressives restrict access to certain works, they're protecting children. When conservatives do the same thing, they're banning books.

Four progressive teachers in Washington’s Mukilteo School District wanted to protect students from a book they saw as outdated and harmful. The blowback was fierce.

@cjscalia @BoulwareH2 But the real question is do you actually know how to pronounce Mukilteo? 😉

@cjscalia @varadmehta Actually teaching that racism is wrong is bad. Teaching 5 year olds how to prepare for anal sex is good.

@cjscalia @rkylesmith The one students need to be protected from is the only one that won't get you kicked out of a school board meeting if you read from it

@cjscalia @eyeslasho The Left don’t care about being logical, they literally don’t care about a set of principles that should be applied consistently. They’d only care about getting what they want. They only pretend to have values when they’re mad, they’ll do the same thing in a heart beat

@cjscalia Oh it was To Kill a Mockingbird, not Genderqueer the graphic novel written by the woman Maia Kobabe who identifies as non-binary, had her breasts removed in 2020 and uses impossible pronouns.
