I guess they will replace it with Homer Simpson.
He will be targeted for cultural erasure eventually.
I can’t get past the paywall. Does it say which school system?
They didn’t burn it. It was just a little old book that wasn’t there.
A straight White male that works in the nuclear industry?
Heather Levine, an English teacher at Lawrence (Mass.) .
Of course...
Homer did actual work?
That’s weird! There was no paywall when I read the article, but there is now. Anyhow, It was Lawrence High School. That part of the article is available at https://pjmedia.com/instapundit/422510/
All these new fancy-dan terms being used to butter the moldy muffin of censorship.
Ableism? What Marxist fop invented that one?
And why doesnt this Hindi red dot author not mention tomes from the homeland, such as the bhaghavad gita?
I couldn't either. Why was The Odyssey banned?
Like ebonics and rap?
Things happen in the Odyssey that the Woke believe are bad things. Murder and stuff.
I expected Cambridge. Because they are ultra woke.
Lawrence kind of surprises me. But then again, I can only imagine how stupid their staff is.

These idiots get more silly by the day. When they start banning stuff that has been around for hundreds of years, you would think normal people would see the stupidity of this kind of nonsense. Homer has been accepted for more than 1800 years. People who would ban him now are dipsticks. They are low people with a bad agenda who are trying to disrupt society today. They are weird and should be ignored. They will continue to make noise but if no one is listening, it will not matter.
“antiracist teacher” Lorena Germán complained that many classics were written 70 years ago.
I do not remember anything really worth reading written in last 70 years. Ditto music, fine arts etc.
Art kind of run out of beauty about 70 years ago. Since then, art seems to just like perversion, consumerism, blood, dirt.
It is not art it is just Yuckiness. Kind of makes people vomit, not admire!
I do not believe that antiracists are able to produce anything of any lasting beauty!
Kind of like the Soviet socialistic realism or the art of Nazism. Whatever still reminds, it is looked down with despise. There is nothing of value there!
Standby by for a rebooted “Our Miss Brooks” along those lines.
George Orwell’s “1984” was only a few decades off.
Doh!
