    Jeet Heer Retweeted corey robin

    As I've said before, I think Robin's initial thread that caused so much controversy was good & made valid points. My only disagreement is I think discomfort with the bad words & (very stylized) nudity does shade into discomfort around the subject (as a few comments make clear)https://twitter.com/CoreyRobin/status/1488593046291849218 …

    Hate to sound like a broken record, but you have to listen to the whole thing to see just how much Spiegelman resists the reading everyone on Twitter insisted on putting on that school board decision. https://twitter.com/ZeeshanAleem/status/1488574863937781762 …

        Like would they be as similarly exercised over the Stigmata or The Passion of The Christ?

        That'd be a fine argument IF the Right wasn't banning books all over the country for the same flimsy reasons. Why are white people continually given the benefit of the doubt in these cases? I understand why but it's still maddening.

        I still think it's incredibly stupid to debate whether people are holocaust deniers or simply acting in full service to & lock-step with holocaust deniers

        This is like the idea that people have to shout the n-word to propagate white supremacy. This is an old book. The fact that it's being banned now cannot be separated from the fact that half of the country uses "woke" as an insult. It pervades the culture.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        The easiest way to illustrate this point is to imagine what these board members would say if some parents were objecting to teaching Huckleberry Finn because of the "vulgar language".

        What about the other books? Do they all have nudity and swear words?
