I was an award winning teacher of human evolution and the works of Darwin. I was let go due to lack of funding in the anthropology department. Desperately I took whatever gig I could find. So I was a tutor at a middle school. Two students asked me what animal we were and I didn’t hesitate to tell them that we are apes. That got me fired and blacklisted in all schools within the district. I loved teaching evolution and when that love of my life was taken from me I had a nervous breakdown. Not a noble end to a career of which I am proud. So this country is truly terrible to live in and I doubt that anyone who doesn’t live here has a grasp of just how terrible it is.

The first time the term Apage love is used in the bible (in the Septuagint, a Greek translation of the old testament made in the 3rd century BC, which is the version that the authors of the New testament quoted) it is not talking about the unconditional love god has for us, but the feelings that one of King David's sons had for his sister before he raped her, but no longer felt for her after the rape.

@@mattmorehouse9685Because Agape did not really mean what Christians like C.S. Lewis claimed it meant. It was pretty much just a synonym for Philia love, mostly used for love between family members. When Philia was contrasted with Agape, the difference was generally that Philia often implied that the lover and beloved were of equal status (like brothers of similar age) while Agape would include love where there was a more significant power imbalance (as between a father and his children or a husband and his wife). Of course, Philia did not imply equal status all the time, as when the object of love was a horse, and the common epithet "Philopator" used Philia to describe the love one has for his or her father. I 'm not 100% certain that it used the term Apage for the desire that drove him to rape, but it definitely said that he no longer had agape love for her like he did before after he came to regret forcing himself on her. He stopped loving her the way a brother should love his sister.

Somebody smart once said: "If someone doesn't want you to learn, that person is not your friend". I agree with your assessment that books should not be banned and that it was funny and ironic that Utah banned the Bible (temporarily). I know there are uneducated folks everywhere, but here in the home of the brave (US) there are millions that seem to consider being uneducated a qualification for in-depth analysis of politics, medicine, history, race relations, and cosmology. There is a loud minority of ultra conservatives (fascists) in our country that push bigoted ideology with the help of wealthy backers. No opportunity to divide the populace, be it racism, homophobia, sexism, and/or anti-intellectualism, will go unexploited. This group is really opposed to teaching children the real history of western civilization. They don't want the veil to be pulled back on how white people of European ancestry came to colonize and dominate so much of the planet's landmasses. They say they don't want white children to "feel bad" for the things that were done in the past. Yet there doesn't seem to be any concern for how it will make black, Native, Hispanic, and Asian, not to mention LGBTQ+, children feel that the origins, contributions, and sufferings of their people's history will never be taught. I often, when I have the golden opportunity to converse with one of these nutters, ask if children should learn about WWII and how Hitler led his country to invade countless countries causing the deaths of millions of people who had not attacked Germany (I purposely leave out the genocide). I also ask if it's okay to include the fact that Hitler was white. I then ask if knowing that Hitler was white, when they learned about WWII in school, made them feel bad for being white. I sometimes use the serial killer/cannibal Jeffery Dahmer, white also, in making this point.

Although I can agree with some of your points, there are some I can not at all. First, do you know why Hitler invaded Poland? The German people living there, were being ethnically cleansed, and sent request after request for help/protection - as they were facing genocide. Many requests were sent to the UK and France by Germany, to try to sort this out with out war, all requests were ignored, so the invasion took place, UK and France (forcing German hands to war) then declared War on Germany. The truth of WW2 is a lot worse than what is being taught, and starts with the end of WW1 - that war caused WW2, it was always going to happen due to UK and France's terms imposed on Germany. Secondly, regarding Europeans (and although you never mentioned the world, clearly refer to slavery) - who do you think were the slaves prior to the 1500's(there about) when Europeans entered Africa. Add to that, that for a long time it was the Africans selling other conquered Africans to the Europeans, but the first point was white people where the slaves, here in UK the English enslaved the Welsh, the Scottish and the Irish, well before any black person was taken, and well after the American civil war ending slavery. As to taught history, here in Wales UK - we are never taught about Welsh ruler ship, or Scottish rulership or Irish - it is only the English history taught. This issue of history being selective edited to teach a certain perspective while ignoring the truth - goes much much further and deeper than 99.9% of people actually realise. The true history of humanity is F'ing disgusting, no matter how you look it, no matter what standards you want to apply - it is barbaric and disgusting - then it is lied about to make the case of ''good guys vs bad guys'' - like what has been done to Germany over WW2.

It's not a question of the content, it's just a symbol, in my country chch and state are separated, students can be punished or expelled for wearing religious signs, and teachers are also forbidden, I think it's a more neutral way to do it than aepting religion in school.

I remember in elementary school we read this historical fiction book about the revolutionary war (USA) that had a focus on how split allegiances affected families. It was called “My Brother Sam is Dead”. It was easy to read and understand as a 3rd grader. Anyway along comes my sophomore year of Highschool and what book is in the news about being added to the banned book list? Yep that one, I got to do an interview with the news anchor who was covering the story. The reason why it was banned one of the characters is beheaded for livestock theft “Billy’s head jumped off his body.” Yep that was it. I still don’t get it. There was no gore, a 9/10 year old was able to understand what was happening. Like parents if you have issues with some books then limiting access for age appropriateness and being available to discuss the information in the books is the way to go. Don’t just ban them. Also I own this book as an adult. I would say that in the public school setting, the Bible should be presented literature in the same vein that when doing the religions of the world, the Torá, Qur’an, the Pentateuch and so forth are presented.

Edit: There are some rare exceptions, that may be viable for a ban. But those are like really rare. Edit2: one example that comes to mind is the banning of „Mein Kampf“ in post WW2 Germany. Nowadays it should be legal again though.
@DennisEngelhard Жыл бұрын
"Mein Kampf" being banned in Germany is a widespread misconception. Germany doesn't do any form of censorship, there is an article against that in our constitution. But we have an index of media that is considered unsuitable for children and young people. What that means is, you have to be 18 to buy them and businesses are not allowed to advertise these pieces of media in any way. That means I could order "Mein Kampf" from Amazon in Germany (I just checked, it's there) but it will never show up as an recommended article for anybody, because that would be against the law.

7:11 On the Nazi book burnings, connecting them to the book banning on sexual orientation and gender identity, it is important to mention that at the same book burning in 1933, the very first in Nazi Germany btw, the books of the Institute of Sexual Science founded by Magnus Hirschfeld were also burned. The institute researched sexual orientation and gender identity and was very progressive for its time (ironically the terms it used are now considered outdated and insulting). The institute also performed some of the first gender-affirming surgeries such as that of the oldest known case of a trans woman medically transitioning. She was named Dora Richter. In 1933, the nazis raided the institute and destroyed its contents, which also meant their library. The standard of research on trans people was set bet by decades and wouldn't be met again until the 1990s. During the raid, it is speculated that Dora Richter was killed although it is not confirmed. It is unknown what happened to her afterwards.

A little chuckle? I LOVE it! :D Laughed my ass of and spent 3 hours sewing it back on! :p I think it's great poetic justice and I've been advocating for banning bibles for quite some time because of its vulgarity and violence, not seriously though, but as a response to the hypocrisy of parents and other idiots trying to ban books from schools for similar reasons and those parents pretty much always religious and they also advocate for public schools teaching christianity as true and praying in class. And teaching faith based religions as true, promoting faith, and praying in class is abusive and normalizes and desensitizes kids to red flags that indicate abuse, so that should be illegal even in christian and islamic schools, but bibles should stay, just as Mein Kampf shouldn't be banned. Sure, neither of those two books should be read to kids in school under the age of 12, but after that just let them read and see anything they and their parents think they can handle. And learning about religions and the holocaust is important for historical awareness. At what ages I'll leave that up to parents, psychologists, and teachers, and such to hash that out - I don't know that much about the development of children's brains and emotions and I don't give a shit about the specifics. I watched horrors and gruesome action movies when I was 8 and since I could handle it just fine my parents were okay with it and my mom even went with me to the cinema to see movies like Batman (she also had a crush on the Joker, so there's that :p). My point is, the bible is a horror and not every child can just handle blood and gore and extreme emotional abuse in stories. If your kid can, that's fine, read the bible to them and watch Alien with them. Every child is different. Even siblings can have massively different responses to things and if my brother would have nightmares over the acid scene in Robocop, I wouldn't have been allowed to watch it. I'm also super sensitive and empathic and I had trouble killing a trout to eat later. Somehow in fiction my empathy just doesn't switch on until I care about a character and it gets unfairly or emotionally hurt. That's something I can't easily handle, so I didn't like the bible because I thought that the god was the bad guy and he should get wrecked and I still think that and instead of getting what he deserved he's glorified and excused, in real life even. That is so fekking twisted. Kids should learn about THAT. So that's why I think the bible shouldn't be banned and Mein Kampf shouldn't be either and they should be used in class to teach about our histories and how our societies got this stupid and messed up and backwards. But if you get your panties in a twist over a boy animal in a kids book falling in love with another boy animal, you deserve to watch your bible get ripped from schools, even if just for a couple of weeks to give people a chance to enjoy the poetic justice and rub in the hypocrisy. Your bible IS actually toxic because real life people take the book way too seriously and that gives the impression that the bible gives good examples and that the god in it is a good person, which it definitely and demonstrably isn't and it normalized the worst examples of how to treat people from the first page to the last with no exceptions.

I have taught some of these conservative students. The goal of the parents is to "protect" their children from ever being exposed to anything they think is bad or wrong. One of these students was taught to ignore or avoid anything that their father disagreed with for fear that it would infect them with negative or satanic influences. This student was absolutely trained to isolate themselves from any non-christian views or ideas. They truly believe that their children should never be exposed to anything but their church approved ideas, if the world intrudes on their children then their freedom of religion is being intruded upon and the federal government has an obligation to help them maintain this isolation. Weird views, but I have seen it play out more than once in my community. I always wish those families good luck as their children graduate and enter the wider world where most of humanity disagree with their views.

Needless to say I stood up at that moment and walked to the counselors and said I was dropping out. They talked me out of it, but I failed Junior year because I would not go back to that class.

But if the book was banned you can be damn sure that I'd read it cover to cover no matter how bad it was because I, like many other people, despise censors.

@@erikblaas5826 I see the logic in your comment, and do agree, but sadly I think history will be repeating itself regardless of Mein Kampf being (rightly) banned. Banning books that promote harm to large portions of society unfortunately does nothing to actually change the minds of people who think that way.

My mom was very against banning books. In 3rd grade my mom got me a book about Nazis/World War 2 (I mostly liked it for the pictures I didn't understand a lot of the ideas/ impact behind the book) and it had a swastika on the cover. The teacher took it away and called my mom. My mom freaked out saying the school/ teacher had no right to touch my book or tell her what I can and can't read. So after that she got me books with Hitler and swastikas on them and said even if I don't understand it act like I'm reading it. And the teacher couldn't really do anything otherwise my mom said she'd go to the district.

I heard the banning law is still there, and so are the bibles. To think that Utah is not even in the bible belt... Gosh, I'm not happy with things going on in my country right now, but at least I don't have to deal with religious extremists in politics. I feel you people of the "land of the free", and I wish you all the strength and stamina in your fight against those who want to impose their religious beliefs on the rest of your country.

While Utah is not in the Bible Belt, it is the center of the Mormon Church, so it might as well be.

Banning any book sounds stupid. I think kids can handle more than what a lot of people give them credit for.
