Texans can carry a handgun in a holster without a permit both openly and/or concealed but librarians are banned from teaching or putting Anne Frank’s book in their school library catalog?
Anne frank was sham or hoax so I get the removal . Also why pull the Bible anybody should get able to read it . I prefer Judaism over Christianity.
Narrow sighted people limit their minds to be tolerance of other life experiences…so sad. Texas moving backwards.
Something the Nazi's would have 1000% done
Is Texas going to rewrite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Texas State Flag?
Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Teachers are quiting left and right, and y'all focused on removing books. The Bible? Really? I'm giving all y'all detention.
Nazis hated books too, republicans are fascist.
Am I glad I live up north. The TEXAS state has gone insane, pulling books and
ted cruse is a danger to America. What kool aid are they drinking?
Taking the bible out of a library 😡…well here comes your hurricane Texas!
There is no information that young person theses days can't get from the internet,and most don't read books unless it's apart of their home work.So it is political and has nothing to do with keeping children safe. Regulate the internet not the library.
LGBTQ+ or not, when NBC needs to censor content availible to children, it probably shoudn't be availible to children in the first place.
Horribly offensive. The bible is the most popular book ever sold. The state can't erase history.
The devil sneaking in quietly…
But those things can show immoralities of all sorts. Planet is evil.
Here's an idea if they fail the review: put them on ADULT shelves rather than children's ones.
Freedom of speech shall not be infringed!
This is what the GOP has turned into. Their radical views are nothing short of what Hitler loved so much, to hate.
Republicans are neo-nazis. They keep proving it.
The Bible getting yanked by the rules that evangelical Christians set is completely hilarious!
Better be lgbt books too.
The “to-be” Nazis had a book burning in the late 30s. This is just a softer version…
BIBLE IS NOT JESUS CHRIST'S BOOK ITS BOOK OF POPE'S POPE'S OF ITALY . ORIGINAL BOOK OF JESUS CHRIST IS GOSPELS OF BARNABAS
what a screwed up world we live in. two of the greatest books ever written
Why would you pull the Bible out this country was made by people who use the Bible rules and to use some rules from the Bible . The Bible isn’t bad there is nothing wrong with it
Fact Check warning: The title of this news release is in fact misleading. The Diary of Anne Frank is not being pulled from school shelves and is very much available. However, an illustrative edition of the work that exhibits rhetoric via a third party publisher is what has been banned. Please report accurately, especially when you know these facts prior to titling your news articles. Be better.
So the parents want fairytales?
Greatest country in the world lmao
I thought public schools banned the bible years ago
This marks a sad day for the world. None so deaf as those who don't want to hear.
Outrageous! The Patriotic Mobile PAC needs to stay out of our schools. Separate Church and schools!
How shameful! Why would a graphic book like the Bible ever be in a school. Good thing moral parents got that crazy book out of schools. If people want to live in a theocracy there's plenty of countries they can move to. This is America the land of freedom. Love it or leave it..
Look the leftist propaganda has begun!!
Schools drama isn’t about kids anymore but about parents still being kids
Diary of Anne Frank is History Probably those Great Replacement parents believers that don’t want it
There is a new and interesting book about the diary of Anne Frank by Ikuo Suzuki.
This reminds me of Nazi germany 🇩🇪. Republicans are all fascist
I mean, we restrict kids from seeing graphic movies. So why would we not restrict them from reading graphic books? But I wouldn't consider the Bible or the Diary to be graphic.
Book burning under a new guise by the fringes of society
That is horrible.
Most Christians only know about 6 or 7 verses from the Bible. All of which are cherry picked and taken out of context in an attempt to promote the pagan Trinity and justify idolatry.
What?!?!?
The Diary of Anne Frank is such a good book for school kids Are these book banners pro white supremacy Nazi lovers or something??
They're Nazi lovers
