Coming soon to our shores...
They'll never read about Mayella Ewell and her chiffarobe .....because the protagonist is a white guy.

School cancels To Kill a Mockingbird over ‘white saviour’ narrative

Classrooms at James Gillespie High School in Edinburgh will be denied the novel as wider plans to “decolonise the curriculum” gather pace amid concerns over its “dated” approach to race, according to the Daily Telegraph.

That's odd, since being a "white savior" to minorities is pretty much a central tenet of progressive ideology.

There were not a ton of black criminal defense lawyers around the south at that time.

Blacks sure are a sensitive bunch, I’m sure this will stop the mass killings

Truman Capote was the real author.

I can say I was alive when it was "just a few statues". Super excited to see how far this goes. Will we tear down our entire civilization for nothing?

So… white folk can’t be racist and they can’t be not racist?

Again: buy physical copies of books and movies now before it’s too late (and in some cases already is). If they can cancel Dr Seuss they can cancel anyone.

To Kill a Mockingbird doesn’t offend black people: it offends white woke Leftists.

Is it better to be a Saviour from the White Savior than a White Savior?

And this affects you how?

Yes, keep in mind that the Woke are actually self loathing white supremacists and agree a hell of a lot with David Duke. The only thing where they disagree with him on is they think white people are inherently evil. You’ll hear the worst racist slurs you’ve ever heard from the Woke when a minority steps out of line. The Woke like to think of themselves as this:

Progressives are so knotted up in race that they get twisted in every direction at once. Whitey is bad and minorities are inferior are about the only two tenets that might exist for them. But whitey is also good and the only ones capable of saving minorities. Good luck figuring out how to apply all that consistently.

It was only a matter of time. Seriously, what is there left for the left to be offended by at this point.

Never read the book. Mockingbirds are evil and we should be allowed to hunt them.

So a bunch of white people in Edinburgh play the role of “white savior” by canceling a book because of a “white savior” narrative?
