    There doesn't have to be a reason for the Cancel Culture to act out. And this decision came out on the authors birthday. Not a coincidence I'm sure. And all because of the scrutiny the LCDS, Loudon County Public Schools in Virginia. " LCPS' focus on equity and culturally responsive instruction"How very Nazi of them.


    Watch, next we'll see book burning covered by the Leftist MSM.
    The Bible's next, watch. Oh, but not the Koran.

    When this story came out everybody was trying to buy them. I doubt you can even find any now. Ebay actually banned everybody from selling them.

    I have sources... lots of them. And while right now may not be the time to purchase, these books will go on my list. You never know when there's a garage sale, estate sale, thrift shop find, etc.
