First they came for the Latinos…

“Students said the banned books were seized from their classrooms and out of their hands, after Tucson schools banned Mexican American Studies, including a book of photos of Mexico. Crying, students said it was like Nazi Germany, and they were unable to sleep since it happened.”

Holy fuck. 

shit. currently gathering more info about this, but this is seriously fucked up.

So basically, any book that questions the morality of European people coming in and committing mass genocide against the natives is banned?

Okay.

Ugh, so they don’t want the kinds to develop any ideas do they?

What the fuck is this.

Banning any book is atrocious.
