1/9》A fervent liberal going by "Ray [REDACTED]" @RayRedacted tweeted this:
“This is what a high school student told the Granbury ISD school board. Wow.” –@RayRedacted
Ray either doesn't know or doesn't care that book-banners are mostly his fellow liberals.
@RayRedacted 2/9》Unfortunately, most public schools are run by leftists. Their libraries have books & periodicals supporting leftist causes & values, like socialism & Marxism, sexual & religious libertinism, climate alarmism, etc. They exclude most books & periodicals on the other side.
@RayRedacted 3/9》Here's an illustrative example. Five years ago, Heartland Institute @@HeartlandInst, a conservative think tank in Chicago, tried to combat leftist climate change propaganda by sending 300,000 copies of book on climate change directly to science teachers & school libraries.
@RayRedacted @HeartlandInst 4/9》The book is a Report by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) entitled, "Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming: The NIPCC Report on Scientific Consensus" (ISDN 1934791598). Here's the Amazon listing for that book:

@RayRedacted @HeartlandInst 5/9》The book was written by three very distinguished scientists, and it is scientifically accurate, but it contests leftist myths about climate change, so it is effectively banned from public schools. I challenge you to find a copy anywhere in your local public school library.
@RayRedacted @HeartlandInst 6/9》In fact, even my local public university, which says it has "3.4 million titles" in its libraries, apparently does not have a copy of that important book.

@RayRedacted @HeartlandInst 7/9》The only good news is that, these days, it is possible for students to escape the leftist stranglehold on information within their schools, via the Internet.
@RayRedacted @HeartlandInst 8/9》For example, the balanced, accurate information about climate change which is generally unavailable in public schools can still be found through resources like this (an example from my own web site):
