Canada School Bans Classic Books in Name of Inclusion
To learn which books liberals will suppress first if they consolidate power, look to the books they have already banned in the schools they control.
Juno News reports from Canada:
A London, Ontario, secondary school binned more than 10,000 library books between January and March this year under the Thames Valley District School Board’s “inclusive libraries revitalization project,” eliminating more than half of the school’s 18,000-book collection.
Calling the exclusion of books liberals find ideologically threatening “inclusive” is classically Orwellian. So it figures that 1984 and Animal Farm are among the banned books.
Other “deselected” works include…
…Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. Literary classics such as Hamlet, Macbeth and To Kill a Mockingbird were also removed, along with Wuthering Heights and multiple Harry Potter novels.
Harry Potter books are thoughtcrime because their author does not believe that men can be women.
Removed titles included Canadian political biographies, such as those of John A. Macdonald, Cold War history books, and social commentary on residential schools, religion, family violence and sexuality.
Macdonald was Canada’s first Prime Minister — or at least, he was until he gets erased.
Also banned are “titles on book bans.”
Purges like this have happened before in Ontario:
In 2023, the Peel District School Board was exposed for removing all books published before 2008 as part of its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
It is not hard to imagine liberals banning all books published before 2008 for everyone. Authors may have been racist and transphobic in the benighted past.

Pope Leo Defends Free Speech From Thought Police
Pope Leo has raised red flags regarding Marxist moonbattery and LGBTism, but he shows encouraging support for free speech.
The Blaze reports:
“It is painful to see how, especially in the West, the space for genuine freedom of expression is rapidly shrinking,” the pope said. “At the same time, a new Orwellian-style language is developing which, in an attempt to be increasingly inclusive, ends up excluding those who do not conform to the ideologies that are fueling it.”
The Thought Police aren’t going to like his failure to embrace the Newspeak Dictionary.
The 70-year-old explained that the inclusivity paradox leads to other consequences, such as the restriction of human rights, including “freedom of conscience.”
Suppressing freedom of conscience via control of language is the point of postmodern moonbattery.

Speaking Well of ICE in Minnesota High School Could Result in Suspension
In moonbat-ruled Minnesota, speaking positively about the heroes who defend our country from foreign invasion is not just frowned upon — it is forbidden.
Via Post Millennial:
Edina High School principal Paul Paetzel informed parents in an email that the school would impose discipline for language in support of ICE.
Edina is a suburb of the Somalian colony Minneapolis.
The email proclaims that “referencing ICE in ways that cause fear or humiliation is a serious offense.” To cause “fear or humiliation” is to be viewed as offensive by foreign invaders who are championed by Democrats for demographic reasons.
Proclaims Paetzel:
“If this type of behavior occurs, we will honor the discipline policy and move forward with consequences up to and including suspension.”
Good thing they don’t have gulags yet in Minnesota or students who have anything nice to say about ICE would really be in trouble.
Imagine what these kids are being taught in class regarding their nation’s right to preserve itself.
For context:
On Friday, DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin announced that ICE had carried out more than 400 arrests since the start of Operation Metro Surge, which included “pedophiles, rapists, and violent thugs.”
No one needs to wonder whose side liberal authorities are on.
As McLaughlin observes,
“Tim Walz and Jacob Frey failed to protect the people of Minnesota. They let these monsters and child predators roam free. Thanks to our brave law enforcement, Minnesota is safer with these thugs off their streets. Instead of thanking our law enforcement for removing criminals from their communities, Tim Walz and Jacob Frey continue to demonize our brave law enforcement.”
To dispute this demonization is thoughtcrime.

Arrested for Calling Bureaucrats Parasites
Hate speech laws may seem absurd, but they do serve a purpose. Consider Germany, where a libertarian identified as Damian N. tweeted this:
No, anyone who is financed by the state pays no net taxes; they live off taxes: every civil servant, every politician, every employee in a state-owned enterprise, everyone who is subsidised and financed by the state. Not a single parasite pays any net taxes.
If bureauweenies tolerate complaints about the burden they impose on society, people might get restless. So the concept of hate speech is applied:
[P]olice acting on behalf of the Ulm public prosecutor’s office raided Damian’s home. He is suspected of the crime of inciting hatred (in violation of Section 130 of the German Criminal Code) for his rough remark about government “parasites”.
The statute is to punish those who incite hatred against “a national, racial, religious group or a group defined by their ethnic origin.” But once speech has been criminalized, anything you say might get you in trouble.
They demanded his phone and PIN and took him to the police station, where they measured him, weighed him, photographed him from various angles, and even took blood samples to get his DNA.
[A]n officer instructed our suspected speech criminal to “think carefully about what you post in future”, because “you must realise that you are now under observation”.
How did Josef K. I mean Damian N. come to the attention of the police?
This has all the hallmarks of another NGO-driven speech investigation. We have a low-visibility post containing a suggestive vocabulary item (“parasit“) that was likely uncovered via keyword search, a lazy attempt to find a distantly relevant criminal statute and then maximum police harassment and intimidation because, as in all these cases, the process is most of the punishment. They really, really like the 6am morning raids, and they also really like to confiscate phones. As the Lower Saxon prosecutor (and ‘online hate task force’ leader) Frank-Michael Laue told American reporters earlier this year: “It’s a kind of punishment if you lose your smartphone, it’s even worse than the fine you have to pay.”
At least soft tyranny is better than the Gestapo and Stasi. But soft tyranny doesn’t stay soft indefinitely. Unless people push back, there is no reason it should have to.

Jailed in Switzerland for Disputing That Skeletons Are Nonbinary
After the groomers infesting public schools have been at them, children might not know whether they are boys or girls. Yet archeologists centuries in the future will be able to find out by examining their bones, because biological facts are impervious to moonbat ideology — although freedom of speech is not, as Emanuel Brünisholz of Switzerland found out the hard way:
Brünisholz is reportedly about to start a 10-day prison stint due to his voicing skepticism about claims that skeletons are transgender.
Liberals probably believe skeletons can be polysexual too — a scary thought right before Halloween.
In 2022, he responded to a Facebook post by Swiss National Council member Andreas Glarner on the controversy. …
The wind-instrument repairman thought that such claims were unfounded and posted a comment that said, “If you dig up LGBTQI people after 200 years, you’ll only find men and women based on their skeletons. Everything else is a mental illness promoted through the curriculum.”
For this factual observation, Brünisholz was charged with “hate speech” and “public belittling” offending legally favored sexual deviants.
He was convicted and fined 500 Swiss Francs.
Brünisholz commendably refused to pay on principle, so he will serve time as a political prisoner in a supposedly free country.

Educrats/Media Don’t Like Freedom Shirts
Fans of Charlie Kirk have taken to wearing Freedom t-shirts, because he stood for it against the creeping totalitarianism imposed by liberals and because he was wearing such a shirt when they killed him. Educrats are opposed:
A principal’s request over staff clothing has sparked a heated free speech debate in the Olathe [Kansas] School District.
The controversy began after the principal at Arbor Creek Elementary asked some staff members not to wear T-shirts bearing the word “Freedom.”
Care to guess which side the media takes?
Many parents supported the principal’s approach.
“Teachers and principals are trying to take care of students, make it a safe space for learning,” [parent Andrew] Meredith said.
True enough, wearing a Freedom shirt may not be safe with leftists in the vicinity, as we learned on September 10.
Speaking of Freedom shirts, the countermoonbat in the video below wears his well. Watch and laugh as he floors an Antifa scumbag in Portland without even putting aside his phone:

Dragged Off in the Middle of the Night Over a Tweet Against Terrorism
It is fair to call Britain under moonbat rule a police state. Watch as a blogger is taken off to jail in the middle of the night for sharing a meme that included the forbidden words “F*ck Hamas”:
A British blogger has been arrested at his home for sharing a meme saying "F-k Hamas."
The 47-year-old shared a video of police arriving at his home and telling him he was being arrested because he "posted something on the internet" which someone from their hate crime team… pic.twitter.com/9L4Mhs2swH

At least the police are polite for now. This won’t last, because as it becomes established that the main job of police is not to protect the public but to repress it, only the worst people will be drawn to this line of work.
