This is literally the type of thing that happens in Fahrenheit 451. It was supposed to be a fantasy nightmare story to make a point, not a literal description of evil events to come.

I gotta admit, from the headline I assumed he was deep undercover as an 8th grader.

So the superintendent and the board was notified of this happening and they basically escorted the cop into the classroom instead of standing up for their students’ rights. Recall them all. I’d be so pissed if my child’s school allowed this. Cops have no right being in this situation. They threw the entire 1st amendment out the window.

So a rando out of uniform gets agitated, enters a place meant for children, aggressively searches through things which panics children, and we’re expected to go “yeah, these people who would immediately execute someone like this surely deserve to be left alone to do the very thing they would shoot someone over”

I watched an adult get tackled by 3 teachers in middle school because they came into the school during class and tried to enter the library. It was a delivery driver who had already checked in with the office but his visitor tag had fallen off, and they assumed he was some rando out of uniform trying to enter a classroom environment.

I collect irony and this is gold.

The Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for the Science of Sexuality.) was located in Berlin until 1933; it was a pioneer in rigorous study of gender and sexuality. If you’ve seen pictures of Nazis burning books, their is an excellent chance the books came from this institute’s library.

It’s OK to compare this to the Nazis because it’s not a metaphor, it’s a xerox copy.
