Wasn't there a lot of noise about some states banning certain books in school libraries some months ago?

  There are 'books' - and then there's 'political propaganda'.
  In any case, the books aren't "banned" - you can buy 'em on
 Amazon if you want - it's just that The State isn't gonna
 pay to keep them in public institutions anymore.

 Ahh... not as sinister as projected by the mainstream media then. =)

Yes, makes sense. If not drama, it won't catch on with the public. ;)

I think that children should read more. I see how my students are struggling with the simplest man pages, and I wish the young of today would become ninja readers!

  LONG back we were taught intensely and intelligently.
 Rare to find any student going into grade 3 that was
 not a good reader/writer.
  Today however ........ everyone is supposed to let the
 very lowest common denominator set the standard so
 nobody will 'feel bad'.

 This is the truth! In sweden, youngsters are no longer allowed to keep the score
in football games, and no winners are declared in order not to hurt anyones
feelings. The result I predict, will be stunted fairies who will break down and
cry at the slightest bump in the road in their life.

Exactly! On the other hand, 10 000 000 against 140 000 000 means there would be no chance anyway, so nothing to worry about. ;)

 Another good reason for Trump to nuke the federal
 Dept Of Ed and every brain-dead Wokie he can find
 in that business.

 Oh... you mean the department of indoctrination?

 Well, truth, it's kinda always been thus.
 My youth was during the Cold War and there
 were efforts to inculcate 'patriotism' and
 pro-militarism and 'Christian values' to
 counter them damned Godless Commies.

Did it work?

 There was one REQUIRED course ... the text book
 was called "Americanism -vs- Communism" and they
 usually had an old mil vet as the teacher.

Do you know how to... "duck and cover!" ? ;) Hmm, this reminds me of starship troopers.

 But at least that crap kinda left the kiddies
 feeling empowered - instead of mentally crushed
 and confused like today's Wokie garbage. In
 short, 50s-80s they wanted to create 'warriors'
 while 90s on the goal was to create simpering
 weirdo wimps who just LOVE Big (Tranny) Brother.

Are you saying this continued in the 80s? This is very interesting! I wonder if Trump is planning on reviving some of that? I mean, the books surely are somewhere in a dusty warehouse, so just bring them back, and in no time (or maybe a generation) the US will be back on its feet! =)

 It'd be great if they just QUIT with the indoc
 stuff ... but I don't think govts can resist
 the urge. A required course on ETHICS would
 be the far better approach.

Of course not. In sweden every time there is a change from the left to the right or back, the first thing they do is to redesign the school system. You have to start indoctrinating them early for it to stick! ;)
Oh... what do I spy in todays mainstream meadia... a school shooting in sweden with 10 dead. This is a sad high score for sweden. Note that sweden has very strict gun laws, so apparently strict gun laws does not solve the problem.
I expect sweden to outlaw fireworks and eventually require a license on tooth picks to show the public that the government is "acting". I expect it will achieve very little.
