U.S.—With public schools entering summer break in a couple of months, teachers are usually taking this time to prepare summer reading lists for their students to keep up on reading over the summer. This year, however, due to the alarming rise in problematic literature, teachers will be switching to book-burning lists.
"We need to make sure our students are trained to be vigilant and always look for problematic literature," said local 8th-grade teacher Lisa Bundergoob. "This list of hateful and transphobic books includes horrible titles like Irreversible Damage and The Cat In The Hat, which have no place in a progressive society and should be burned."
According to sources, many public schools are de-emphasizing reading -- which encourages critical thinking -- in favor of activism, which is much easier since you can just have one smart person do the reading for you and tell you what to think.

Brilliant as always.
DANG!
Maybe just burn them all just to be sure.
F451 at the top of the list.
The book is racis’ because of the numerical and scientific significance of the Title. As though there is just one 3 significant digit answer that is “Right”. Answers should now be considered right or left, NOT right or wrong.
These guys and gals just keep getting better and better.
I still miss Mad Magazine but this helps with the withdrawals.
They better destroy all computers and cell phones as well—could be wrong-think found there!
Lisa Bundergoob... appropriate name for her, she is a BUNDERGOOB
Instead of burning books, how about just rewriting them? Take 1984 for example. It could be about the evils of capitalism and greed. In a dystopian world where sea levels have drowned most cities, and corporations force you to buy products at competitive prices, one person rebels against the system, demanding that socialist governments control everything. But with no other way to pay for his iPhone bills, he’s forced to get a job instead. That’s just as bleak a future as in the original.
Operative word: “trained.” This speaks volumes about conditioning our youth.
That old photo of the book burning. Sadly, I bet those were “conservative” Christians burning books with swear words.
