Your new overlords have a message for you about which books are approved for reading, you worthless serf. Now go grovel in a corner somewhere and wait for further instructions

Novels by Harper Lee and Mark Twain have been pulled from school syllabuses in Minnesota over fears their use of racial slurs will upset students.
The Duluth school district said it was removing To Kill a Mockingbird and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from its curriculum because their content may make students feel "humiliated or marginalised".
The school district, which includes more than 20 schools, said it will keep copies of the classic novels in its libraries but will be removing the texts on its curriculum for its ninth and 11th-grade English classes in the next academic year.
Michael Cary, the district's curriculum director, said that its schools planned to replace the novels with texts that "teach the same lessons" without using racist language.
Both To Kill a Mockingbird, a Pulitzer-prize winning novel depicting racial injustice in Alabama, and Huckleberry Finn, which deals with slavery in pre-Civil War America, include racist characters who regularly use offensive language, including the N-word.
The two novels have been listed among the most banned or challenged books from 2001 to 2009 by the American Library Association, in large part because of their uncomfortable language.

25 years ago these same liberal cucks were fighting to keep these books in schools because they were against censoring classic literature.

Orwell was right.

To Kill a Mockingbird uses racial slurs to show the racism of the time. This is liberal stupidity.

WTF! Those guys are national treasures. Did any of these imbeciles in Minnesota school system read the books? If anything those novels decried the practice of slavery and racism.
I need my copies in leather bound format now.

Ehhh, people have been fighting against Huck Finn at various places here and there for many years.

This is beyond stupid.
What does this accomplish? Nothing. It’s a meaningless, myopic action which does nothing.
What a complete farce.

Atticus is so disappointed right now. Clearly Scout learned nothing from his teachings. These people are insane.

That article was back in 2018.
But the message is still loud today though.

This was over a year ago. Anyway, it’s pretty funny considering the fact that the city is about 90% white.

The slippery slope continues: now the left is "burning books". John Grisham next?

Duluth also recently banned the word “chief” from any city-related job titles as a means to not offend the Native Americans. Mayor Larson is as nutty as they come.
