I've never heard the term "passively racist" before, but I'll wager I'm going to hear it a lot more over the next year.

This is why this shite will never stop!

You didn't do anything wrong! Stop apologizing!

I've never been a fan of Peirce Morgan. But the fact that he told them all to frick themselves, he isn't apologizing made me respect him.

The left loves eating their own. The last Captain Underpants book reveals the older versions of the characters and one of the main boys had a husband. It wasn't a conversation I was prepared for when reading with my 7 or 8 year old at the time.

Yet we have an artist on an awards show dancing on a stripper pole talking about a wet arse pussy.

Makes sense.

From defeating the world’s super power and introducing freedom and liberty to a dark and hopeless world, to taming the west, and saving the world from worldwide tyranny not once but twice, to pure 100% bitch mode kissing the arse of politically correct tyrants. How quickly the fall it was.

The Cold War was a ruse. The United States may have "defeated" the Soviets, but in the process, its government morphed from a federal republic into a gigantic centralized state hell bent on colonizing the world. We are not much different than the USSR at the moment.

The decision to remove Pilkey's book comes shortly after the announcement that Dr. Seuss Enterprises will stop the publication and licensing of six Dr. Seuss titles which "portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong."


God dammit, the latest to go full cuck. When will people take a stand and stop putting up with this shite?

It is the perfect hedge. Sell more books while making the smug elitist regressives feel all warm and tingly.

These attitudes are already present in about 90% of public schools and 75% of private ones

We desperately need new, high quality classical educational options.

My 7-year-old son checked that book out from his school library about a month ago. He loved it!


Yeah we have had that book from the library a FEW times. Little did I know our house was being infiltrated by hate speech. Boy is he gonna get it when I get home.

Oh, the harm we do when writing our words.
Sticks and stones? Why, that's for the birds.
We've wrongs to right - imagined or real.
Someone had to be hurt. That's just how I feel.
So, off with you, you bigoted writers.
Leave justice to us, the woke pillowbiters.

No, minorities can do that. White people can't though.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I never thought of "Kung Fu" as a part of Chinese culture. I figured it was a made-up Hollywood term. You might run into a kid who's taking Tae-Kwon Do classes, or Gojo Ryu classes, but Kung Fu is something you seen in American movies.

Also, didn't black rappers appropriate the crap out of Kung Fu already, like way back in the 1990s? Are we going to ban the Wu-Tang Clan? (Please??)
