   Not Orwellian at all eh?

   The Canadian government has ordered all books published before 2008 to be removed from government facilities, public libraries, and schools because they don't "reflect the rich diversity of our communities".

   It wants books to promote diversity, transsexual justice, and gender fluidity.

   Home school and horde as many old books as you can.

     I have a high school friend who works in a library. I sent her this article and how I thought it was interesting:
     
     https://larrysanger.org/2024/09/a-trip-to-the-library/
     
     She then went on to immediately claim it wasn't interesting, but "uninformed" and how it was a "boomers take on going to a library."
     
     I informed her that "boomer" was one of the two people who literally founded Wikipedia.
     
     She's one of those people who said parents complained because they put out pronoun pins .. in the children's section. I was like, "Yes. That's good. They fucking should!" ... she also thought hormones make up for the difference in athletics when trans play in womens' sports. She's obese and never played sports.
     
     This is in the deep south. This is the state of the American library worker.

     @White_Rabbit i support all censorship and banning of books until we wipe the smug looks off the book nerds faces for good
     they will bend the knee and admit their hobby makes them no better than people who enjoy watching football, video games, fishing, vtubers, or gardening
