I applaud your willingness to plant your flag in the sand. I'll keep checking in on it every month or so to see if you see the issues yet.
Do you know better than JP Morgan Chase? What is your educational and professional background again?
There's no shortage. The day is still young
I know you love to argue, but you'll find no argument with me. As I've told you before, you don't argue with good faith arguments. You're dishonest and unbelievably partisan. Just like how you don't want to be honest and admit that you lack background in economics and finance. There's an old saying about wrestling with a pig. That applies perfectly to you.
Projecting much? I didn't offer up an argument.
I think Maus would be appropriate for an AP History class. It's seriously fantastic, and is the only graphic work to win a Pulitzer Prize (they changed the rules after it won).Not really cancelled. Just removed from the curriculum, still in the library.
As a professional educator, do you feel Maus is age-appropriate for all groups 12-14 year-olds?
Mike Peterson, reliably liberal, does not:
CSotD: First the fury, then the facts
I don’t disagree with Steve Brodner (or Neil Gaiman)’s take on the idea of banning Art Spiegelman’s now-classic graphic memoir, Maus. Or, at least, I wouldn’t disagree if what is being reported were what had happened. As DD Degg noted here yesterday, the Daily Beast reports that “The McMinn...www.dailycartoonist.com
Agreed. It is infuriating that there are major media outlets that are engaged in apologetics for this descension into authoritarianism.
Yah. I know that sounds bad. But trans sports and gas for my suv and hey look at the Winter Olympics USA USA USA…
“It can’t happen here” might be an offshoot of our notion that we are “exceptional”. I don’t know what grade school American history is like now, but for my classmates and I, through high school, the emphasis was always on how special our nation was, that we were one of humanities great experiments, an example for all, in real time. I think it instilled a sense that history had led to the United States. Nice to think highly of oneself, up to a point, but it isn’t true that it can’t happen here. It’s a naive delusion, and people fail to see what’s happening while it’s happening. And that’s just the good people, sleepwalking. Never mind the truly bad citizens, and the ones leading it and aiding it to happen. It’s like you know history is going to judge, and if it’s like any other history, the winners will write it. Insurrectionists and Trump cultists, or patriots? That’s a hell of a divergence, and I don’t want to imagine a future America where the 1/6 event is viewed, officially, as a celebration of who we are.
