Maryland Governor Wes Moore had an interesting word choice in describing so-called bans on books in public schools pushing racial hysteria, transgender mania, and other sexually charged topics as âcastrating children.â
Moore said to MSNBCâs Jen Psaki; âI continue hearing people making the argument that theyâre doing it because we want to prevent our students from having discomfort or guilt because we donât want our students to be able to really wrestle with these really difficult things in times when they are maturing as individuals."
Moore added, arguing that having certain non-age appropriate books in schools is ânot about making kids feel uncomfortable,â and that the removal of these books was "about telling other kids that they shouldnât understand their own power. Itâs castrating them."
Watch below:
The term âbook banâ is just the latest phrase to lose all meaning thanks to the American political left.
What these âbook bansâ really amount to is removing books from the curriculum. Curriculums are commonly updated, and given that the contents of many of these books arenât even appropriate to be read aloud at the school board meetings of the boards that pushed them, removing them seems to be a wise choice. Throughout history, tens of millions of books have been published, and by the logic of those crying âbook bans,â there are therefore tens of millions of âbanned booksâ from public schools.
So meaningless has the term âbook banâ become that one can walk into a Barnes & Noble and find a âbanned booksâ section. One is left to wonder what exactly the word âbanâ means when the âbannedâ product is being offered for sale.
Welcome to 2023; where having educational standards is castration, and castration is âlife saving medicine.â
