Sorry, the censorship is already in the bookstores. And has been for decades.
The censorship starts with the publishers.
You really think publishers would allow graphical details on the horrors of war? And that's just war. 🤷🏻♂
That's not popular nor so called morally correct! Publisher only publish what makes them money through popularity.

@Roundandroundwego no she didn't go into the DETAILS!
That is what truly stops it!
I can't tell my own story on this site because I got flamed in the telling of it.
I was forced to delete the posts!

@DeWayfarer somehow I remember Fourth grade included graphic detail about castrated people and little girls getting their period stopped by a needle full of acid -with details of a medical nature- maybe I was uniquely exposed.

@Roundandroundwego they stop publishing that in the 1980s!
I had a medical book with details in the 1960s. My father gave it to me.

There's a reason that education sucks and it's the same reason that it will never ever, ever be fixed.
It's never going to get any better, don't look for it,
be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don't want that.
I'm talking about the real owners now. The real owners. The big, wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.
You don't. You have no choice. You have owners They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, and city halls. They got the judges in their back pocket. And they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.
They got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying,
lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. TheyThey want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.
They don't want well-informed, well-educate people, capable of critical thinking.
They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interest.
That's right.
They don't want people who are smart enough to figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago.
They don't want that.
You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough, to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs, with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it.
And now, they're coming for your Social Security money. They want your fucking retirement money.
They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something, they'll get it. They'll get it all from you, sooner or later, because they own this fucking place.
It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
You and I are not in the big club.

@HumanEarth Americans hate socialism and communism enough to die younger, work harder and learn less.

Education IS one of the main methods of control. You will learn from the minute you enter school exactly what the government wants you to learn and no alternative information is allowed. It continues all the way through college. As Paul Simon wrote "When I think back on all the crap I learned in High School its a wonder I can think at all".

@hippyjoe1955 Totally agree.
