Earlier this month, we told you about the holier-than-thou, very successful crusade by future Oklahoma State School Superintendent Ryan Walters to get a graphic novel about the social struggles of a non-binary teen trying to navigate our chaotic world banned from Tulsa Public Schools.
Even though nobody in Oklahoma really knew the book existed, much less that it was collecting dust in a library, the right-wing types latched onto the issue, igniting both sides of today's ye old culture war debate.
For example, as a response to Walter's book banning initiative, a rebellious Norman High School English teacher shared the QR code for the Brooklyn Public Library's "Books Unbanned" website that's been making the rounds on the left-wing social media echo chamber.
I guess a teacher informing students there's a place they can find banned books that students will likely never read didn't set too well with the stodgy, sanctimonious, controlling, conservatives who run Norman Public Schools. They placed the teacher on leave, which prompted her to resign.
Naturally, that story made the national news and caused both sides of today's cultural civil war to lose their shit, inspiring even regular, every day, mouth-breathing, attention-seekers to take up communication arms and grandstand on the topic.
For example, people like Laney Dicksion – a local dog groomer with a last name so pornographic by conservative standards that she shouldn't be allowed within a 1,000-feet of a school.
