At George Dawson Middle School an autobiography co-authored by George Dawson at 103 has been banned. Mr. Dawson was the grandson of a slave. He learned to read at 98. His book is an inspiration to all readers except it can’t be read at the school that bears his name.

The back story about the writing of Mr. Dawson’s autobiography is a story of love and respect between two people. I suppose the book was banned due to the takeover of the Carroll ISD board by conservative extremists. @cjtackett @pastors4txkids

1. We keep saying "they are literally banning and burning books!"

Yes, they are. They promised to do this years ago when people thought there was not enough difference between trump and Hillary to vote.

They want to do much worse, by the way.

3. Trump actually floated the idea of concentration camps a few weeks ago.

I shit you not. And his fucking idiot MAGA base would cheer it and go along with it.

5. I think I remember that, it was a few weeks ago and prior in 2019...

And it wont make the news.

If it was Hillary, wall to wall for days is what it would be.

Righty would be screaming LOCK HER UP...America is broken, this is why.

We allowed them to get away with having NO standards for decades.

2. Oh, but according to the Dallas news, the book is just being reviewed.

Because parts of it aren't deemed appropriate for middle school students.

Yah...right. It's not going on a shelf.

4. Fox is scrambling people's brains!

People who watch Fox 24/7 are unable to tell right from wrong and everything they are doing is wrong and bad. I fear this will get worse before it gets better.

6. I fear you're right.

7. WTF

It’s difficult to comprehend the mindlessness behind this nonsense.
