Florida classroom bookshelves left empty as education reform law goes into effect

More on #109

In case you were wondering just how racist we are...

The Knox County School District announced last week that it has banned the book 'Roots: The Saga of an American Family.'

When I was a teenager, my dad borrowed the full set of VHS tapes from my uncle and we spent several cold Canadian nights watching them. It was my first real exposure to the brutal realities of the Middle Passage and of slavery.

What's more? It was voted an official Tennessee state book in 2024.

The district cited a passage from the book that it said violates state law.

Evidently, the book offending passage contained "sadomasochistic abuse" (aka rape).

Omitting the brutality cheapens the reality.

Shame on you, Tennessee.
