Yeah I know. Apparently it only takes [i]one[/i] complaint from [i]one[/i] parent to get a book removed throughout the entire state.

And the parent misattributed the poem to Oprah. Not that it made a difference. At the end of the day, Gorman is Black, and that can't be allowed in DeSantis's schoolrooms.

@SW-User no. It takes one white parent to complain.
If a black parent complained about "huckleberry finn", do you think it would be banned?

@Carla Well, that's kind of what I was hinting at. She is Black, it's ok to ban her. And no, of course Huck Finn wont' be banned, just like Of Mice and Men will never be banned here in the UK.

@SW-User Does the name Clarence Thomas ring a bell?

@sunsporter1649 Not interested in your deflection. Just ask me about the hookers in Moscow and we'll leave it at that.

@SW-User Ya mean it's up to the individual in his pursuit of happiness, not the racist bullschiff you left-wing nut-job marxists spew forth at every waking moment?
