FREEDOM FOR ME, DEATH FOR YOU
OPINION
Freedom for me, death for you. That seems to be the new American Christian slogan. “We want to take our country back…back to the Dark Ages.” When will the pogroms and Röhm purges begin?

One Keller ISD parent, [The Keller Independent School District is a K-12 public school district based in Keller, Texas (USA)], Laney Hawes, wrote in a Twitter thread this week that the new development was a “violation of our childrens constitutional rights.”
“These books went through the official district-established challenge committee process. But because they all passed the committee process, our extremist Christian nationalist school board decided the process was ‘rigged,’”

Hawes wrote. “Sound familiar?”
“I served on the committee for The Diary of Anne Frank Graphic Novel. The person who challenged the book didn’t even show up to defend their position. But now the book is pulled,” Hawes added.
“Amid Republican-led efforts to ban books from school libraries across the country, a report earlier this year by literary and free expression group PEN America found that more than 1,000 books had been banned over the past year in U.S. schools, with a significant number of those books related to race and the LGBTQ community.” The Texas school district that banned The Diary of Anne Frank also banned the Bible. Under the challenge for the Bible, the author was listed as “men who lived a long time ago.”
