NARROW-MINDED PEOPLE ARE FOREVER trying to push their ignorant perspective upon the rest of us. It’s frankly disgusting. The American Library Association recently released a report that found 729 attempts in 2021 to ban library, school, and university materials, targeting 1,597 individual books. Conservative groups bent on limiting what other people read have challenged public school libraries to purge books, generally about LGBTQ issues and people of color. Racial issues, for instance, and facts regarding this country’s history of racial prejudice, seem to really bother those who would prefer to not confront, or admit, the past. The past, it would seem, isn’t really past after all. The ominous significance of this madness is frightening. Just a half step from book banning is book burning. The most recent and notable example of this ultimate form of censorship and intolerance was in 1933 when Nazi-dominated groups carried out public book burnings all over Germany. In the aftermath of the book burnings, the Nazi thugs raided bookstores, libraries, and publishers’ warehouses to confiscate materials they deemed ‘dangerous’ or ‘un-German.’ Works of prominent Jewish, liberal, and leftist writers ended up in the bonfires. Examples of similar bigotry and censorship are occurring today in many of our states, my own home state of Florida being a prime example with its rightwing nutcase governor DeSantis. Democracy is slipping away; make Amerika great again.
