Sure. That's a picture of Anne Frank. A Jewish kid today, through their family culture, is going to learn about the Holocaust.

So, banning the diary from public schools isn't going to "protect" that Jewish kid.

Same for how Black Americans have been treated in US History, starting with slavery and up through to today. That kid is still going to learn about that history from their family.

So, you're not protecting them.

Racism and antisemitism are still very real today. So, those current kids have to deal with that experience.

The only kid who is "protected" is the kid who will never experience any of that- the white kid.

*self-worth plummets*
What? 🥺
I wasn’t thinking or saying any of this in my meme, I was only making a joke at my own expense. This was very informative though

Oh, I'm sorry. It's a bit of a heavy lift for a meme, I'll admit.

It’s alright

Unsurprisingly, you don't see the ridiculous rightists on the Politics stream ranting about this rancid censorship!

Every kid is worth protecting.

Yes. They are.

But you don't get to erase the experience of some kids to in order to 'protect the feelings' of a white kid in the suburbs.

And I definitely don't want t o. It's important to educate children about the past . Yes even as someone with (some) conservative views I think it's true. We shouldn't hide our kids from the past just because it shows *scary stuff* or whatever.
