Ha ha, inevitable: reactionaries are now telling educators in Texas that books about the Holocaust must be "balanced" by "opposing views."

All you fuckwits who went along with the "illiberal college students" nonsense own this.

It is reactionaries who want to control thought, speech, & behavior, to preserve status quo social arrangements & prevent the emergence of progress or alternatives. It is true today; it was always true throughout history; pretending otherwise has only empowered bad actors.

OK, on the original post in this thread, if you listen to the audio, it seems the school administrator is just trying to game out the consequences of TX's terrible new bill. She's not *endorsing* the practice. The reactionary TX pols are the problem.

Also worth listening to this audio to hear plain old professional teachers *terrified* that they will face serious legal consequences simply for doing their job.

I wish the academic-freedom-defenders would f'ing focus.
