subject: Republicans hate censorship, right?
Then why do they keep doing stuff like this?
- 2021-11-18 Let's talk about Muncie Central High and V for Vendetta.... (Beau of the Fifth Column)
TL;DW:
- Teacher teaches about a fictional work in which the authorities censor people for expressing their ideas.
- Students are assigned the work of making posters to express their thoughts about this.
- Many students make posters comparing events in the fictional work to current political events.
- The authorities have the posters removed.
Note that the fictional work in question was, in its book form, on the list of 850 books that Texas would like to ban.
- the list: https://static.texastribune.org/media/files/94fee7ff93eff9609f141433e41f8ae1/krausebooklist.pdf

...but of course Republicans are fighting the good fight against censorship, so it's okay when they do it, because it's for the greater good.
...well, their greater good – because nobody would vote GOP if they understood reality.
