What about the “woke” Stephen King? Been listening to a lot of his books through audible and the *n* word is said throughout.

Hmm, I found it on Brit Hume's twitter feed this morning



Lol as did I.

Britt probably didn't realize but if you click on the link it clearly states it happened in 2018. Date of the article. You can also google it and other media outlets covered it.

It's still totally fine because it shows how crazy they are especially given the times we are in now.

But that graphic from yesterday said we must confront our uncomfortability to be anti-racist. What's that? Oh, just white people? Got it, carry on with the book burning.

Years ago Catcher in the Rye was not allowed in school library. Libs were furious.

Now they live by Fahrenheit 451.

ETA: apologies to kingofozarks, had not reached your post. Not trying to steal your "fire".

Really stupid move, imo. I predict most Minnesota school districts will not follow Duluth's lead on that.

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".
