In a continuation of the Nazi-esque book banning that has characterized the DeSantis regime in Florida, schools have banned Amanda Gorman’s poem The Hill We Climb, that she read at Biden’s inauguration. The ban was imposed because a single, illiterate and ignorant parent complained. The complaint wrongly claimed the author of the poem was Oprah, seriously not making that up. Notwithstanding that the complainer is an obvious troll, the book was removed from the general shelves because of one complaint from an anti-woke, racist activist moron.

Naturally, MAGAts like to claim these bans are all about keeping “sexually explicit” materials away from children. I challenge you to review the poem and find anything sexually explicit, or sexual at all. In my own review I think I found what the MAGAts objected to. These words:

we are far from polished far from pristine but that doesn’t mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect We are striving to forge a union with purpose To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us We close the divide because we know, to put our future first, we must first put our differences aside We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another We seek harm to none and harmony for all

Surely we cannot allow our children to hear awful messages such as that. I mean, putting our differences aside, reaching out to others with “harm to none and harmony for all.” We cannot allow our children to hear sick stuff like that. Am I right?
