But This Is "Good" Book-Burning, So ...

 

 

There is always a justification to be a semi-literate tyrant:

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) has banned a plethora of European children’s literature and destroyed 5,000 books for being “offensive.”

As reported by the National Post, some 30 books were burned for “educational purposes” and then the ashes were used as fertilizer to plant a tree.

In a related development, a driver of the censorship initiative has been admonished for an act of public deception. Suzy Kies, co-chair of the Indigenous Peoples Commission of the federal Liberal Party, does not have the personal heritage she so claimed in order to gain her position.

Ms. Kies proposal denounced the whites who appropriated the history of the First Nations. Under Aboriginal Law, she has no Indian status.
