  Is this “Parents and students fight against the book banning of anti-racist works”,

  or “Anti-racist parents and students fight against book banning”,

  or “Parents and students fight against anti-racist books, calling for them to be banned”?

  If the last, then that’s horrendous.

    It’s the good way round.

    A Tory had pressured a local school to ban a few books because they showed white-on-black racism as a negative thing, and this fact hurt his racist Tory feelings.

    A comparatively large group of anti-racist parents complained, and got the anti-racist book unbanned.

      Fucking disgusting that racist little shits like this. Feel comfortable expressing such opinions around schools.

      Unfortunately it’s seems these arseholes are being encouraged by government actions. Dispite the vase majority of covers and polling being opposed to their ideals.

      Shows how fucking dangerous FPTP can be when 30% plus is all that is needed to rule. Division becomes a political strategy rather then a risk.
