Democrats have a very bad habit of reflexively reacting without making any attempt whatsoever to understand what it is they are reacting to - because they are inherently stupid and lazy.

CNN’s Jake Tapper shared this link to a local report out of Washington state on the Mukilteo School District pulling “To Kill a Mockingbird” from its curriculum, which, as you’d expect, as lots of blue-checks up in arms:
Jake Tapper ~ Another school board removing another heralded book from its curriculum: "To Kill a Mockingbird" will be removed from the Mukilteo WA School District's ninth-grade English/Language Arts required reading list.

But it’s pretty clear that many of the people commenting on Tapper’s link didn’t bother to watch the report. Because, if they had, they’d find out right quick that it’s not conservatives who are behind the move. From the video:
“The use of the N-word within the text like ‘To Kill a Mockingbird written by a white author who lacks the cultural lens to accurately present the lived experience of racism by the marginalized, then placed in the hands of teachers who lack that same knowledge does nothing but reinforce the concept of racism.”
Pima County Democratic Party ~ Because fascism.
Yes, quite right - the racist, book-burning Fascism of the Democrat Party on full display.
Shannon in Ohio 4 ~ Pathetic.
Catherine Rampell ~ "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a frequent target of attempted censorship, sadly. It was one of the top 10 books subject to challenges at schools/libraries in 2020, per American Library Association. Rest of the list here: http://ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10
Astrid Martinez ~ This is insane.
craasch - author of "Imperfect Union" ~ What are we becoming?
Ed Lavandera ~ A book that readers routinely select as the most important book of the 20th century.
Joyce Carol Oates ~ "To Kill a Mockingbird" is removed from a school curriculum because it makes racists uncomfortable? Whatever reasons are given, this must be the real reason.
Yep, removed because it makes black racists of the Democrat Party uncomfortable.
