Progressives want to ban kill a mockingbird for its whiteness

https://themessenger.com/news/to-kil...s-on-whiteness

Are there any progressive plans that aren't just about white guilt?

I mean, a progressive, white lawyer defended a black man.

You would think they would love a story like that.

Funny, because it feels like I have been hearing the left bitch endlessly about how conservatives want to ban books.

I guess it's (D)ifferent when it's classic literature vs some degenerate porn books in elementary schools.

Libs hate the book becasue it is centered around a false rape accusation. It puts the main character, Atticus in the position of making a choice...defend the black man or #beliveallwomen. Libs don't want to make that choice.

Trying to discredit the book for whiteness is their only move to get rid of that pesky literature classic.

"Defending wrongfully accused black men is toxic whiteness that must be stopped" - literally today's libs

It's funny watching them panic over which agendas of theirs to prioritize over others. So much contradictory logic.

Atticus had his work cut out for him...

It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you, the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight mates, in your quilted chambray night shirts.

Let me guess: "It perpetuates the white savior complex, blah blah blah." Ironically that's a huge portion of the Democratic Party's platform, the bigotry of low expectations.
Yeah Buddyyy! Light weight! Light weight baby!!!!

And notice how misc libs are either ignoring this, or scoffing at it? "Pfffff it's only three people!"

Mention anything about taking their ped0 books out of schools though, and....
