An example of our sad halls of learning....

<WE WILL DETERMINE WHAT YOUR KIDS SHALL READ!

This page out of the PC handbook is in itself an outrageous insult to freedom of speech and is typical of why our children are reading books which fit the new PC mold. The writer of this 'filter' ashows they are just as intolerant - if not MUCH more so than the 'evil' books they want to eliminate.

They are great fodder for humor though...

PETER PAN:

This book is on the way out, but a few copies still lurk in classrooms. Throw yours out if you have one. If a student asks or brings a copy to class, point out to your students how Peter Pan is a likely homosexual, and how he should really learn not to pick on handicapped criminals and that Wendy's treatment of the redskins illustrates she is a white supremacist.

CINDERELLA:

This book has been eliminated from our selection due to a lack of people of color.

JOAN OF ARC:

This book has been eliminated because it makes a hero of someone who holds the Christian faith and for a lack of people with color. An acceptable replacement is a new volume which deals specifically with Joan's cross-dressing and gender shifting.

SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS:

This book has been eliminated but some copies still roam classrooms. If one is in yours throw it out. If a student brings a copy - then explain to your students that the white female princess stereotype is propagated in this book and show how Snow White's condescending attitude to the height challenged dwarves is unacceptable. Point out that giving height challenged people names like Dopey and Grumpy is very biased.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND, RAPUNZEL, LAST DAYS OF POMPEII, MAN IN THE IRON MASK, THE ILLIAD, LASSIE, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS (AND 424,567,342 OTHERS which would take too much time too list.)

These books have been eliminated due to a lack of people of color.

CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHURS COURT

This book has been eliminated due to a lack of people of color and because of the worship of science which the book fosters.
