[QUOTE="Jock Ewing Fan, post: 318502, member: 40536"] With respect to your observations, the Guardian, which is a left leaning publication, is presenting a rather one-sided , selective view of censorship, and the article lacks proper context. IE these censorship allegations are occurring in an extremely small group of schools, some of which may not be public schools. Private/Religious schools, agree or disagree with them, are not subject to the same requirements as public schools I agree that censorship runs counter to the concept of free expression, and I would not censor these works, however the Guardian fails to mention the intolerance of the left, their zealous efforts to force Critical Race Theory on Public Schools, Private/Religious Schools, Business Entities and Entertainment Projects In pursuing a radical agenda, the left has tried to stifle parental involvement in their Children's Education. As you can read below, Attorney General Merrick Garland planned to utilize the FBI to target what was subjectively called "unruly school board meetings" This is a man who was a Supreme Court Justice candidate with left leaning views. Having an ideology that leans one way or the other is certainly within reason but the use of federal authorities to squash legitimate dissent is beyond appalling, and an affront to freedom and democracy. How does this action respect the right to free speech, under the First Amendment? That is a chilling, crushing, overbearing, dictatorial approach that seems designed to intimidate and villify concerned parents who voice their opinions, vigorously yet peacefully It was so extreme and detestable that The [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/national-school-board-association/']National School Boards Association[/URL] issued an apology for urging federal authorities to target unruly school board meetings, a missive that spurred Attorney General Merrick Garland’s much-decried decision to bring in the [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/federal-bureau-of-investigation/']FBI[/URL]. “On behalf of [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/national-school-board-association/']NSBA[/URL], we regret and apologize for the letter,” said the [URL='https://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/national-school-board-association/']NSBA[/URL] memo. “There was no justification for some of the language included in the letter. We should have had a better process in place to allow for consultation on a communication of this significance. We apologize also for the strain and stress this situation has caused you and your organizations.” I have attached links. I will be happy to provide links about the forcing of Critical Race Theory, if you like.

My point is that the Guardian is not being honest in its reporting when it disparages and reviles entire groups of law-abiding people based on an very small percentage of anomalies while ignoring the extreme overstepping by government officials against concerned parents.
