There is absolutely nothing "liberal" about banning books or words.

This is "conservative", which as a philosophy fully supports banning things you don't like to think about.



I agree. It makes you wonder why it is always people who call themselves liberal or pregressive that do this.

There are three kind of liberals;
Stupid, ignorant or evil
The result is always evil but the intent is not always evil. Not that it makes much difference in the long run.

As a born and bred NYC resident I can't wait for this city to get struck by a giant meteor. Most deserving city on Earth of being ended. Half of this country's problems stem from NYC's power & influence.

You look pretty stupid wondering about things that aren't true. This is a bi-partisan effort, you really think "liberals" give a damn what creationists think about the word dinosaur?

It's pretty obvious many liberals care, they talk about evolution vs creationism a lot.

I have only heard bad things about NYC education. The school boards are known for being corrupt and stupid.
