Usually when I read about calls to ban To Kill a Mockingbird it is for the same reason as to ban The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, namely that both books contain the word “nigger.”

Most recently, a school district in Mississippi has come under fire for their desire to ban To Kill a Mockingbird because the language makes people “uncomfortable.”

Forgive me for believing To Kill a Mockingbird is supposed to make the reader uncomfortable.  The reader is supposed to be distressed about the way Tom Robinson is treated.  That discontent is supposed to motivate the reader to do something to correct this injustice in the real world and consequently the book has been credited for helping to improve civil rights.

Fast forward to 21st century “woke” Social Justice Feminism.

The reason NOT to teach To Kill a Mockingbird is because it hurts women.

Another kind of damage less often discussed is how the text encourages boys and girls to believe women lie about being raped.

In the era where feminists are fighting rape culture, Hillary Clinton says “Every survivor of sexual assault deserves to be heard, believed, and supported,” and #MeToo exists as a Twitter trend; a book in which the female fakes a rape claim is just unacceptable.

Mayella Ewell had to believed no matter what.

Congratulations modern feminism, you have just justified the wrongful conviction, attempted lynching, and murder to Tom Robinson.

You should be proud of yourselves, even the Klan couldn’t have done a better job moralizing that.

The first warriors on the ground in Afghanistan after 9/11 were not Delta or the Seals or some super-duper bunch of Door Kickers, it was a team of Green Berets who literally helped bring down the Taliban government with a GPS, a radio and on horseback…yes, horseback. While the rest of the military was trying to unfuck themselves back at home, they were in the middle of a country that had no love for America engaging people that they did not trust in order to bring down the government that supported Bin Laden and his attack on US Soil.

No, the preview is not exaggerating. They never rode horses, yet they learned and ended up in a cavalry charge against modern armor and artillery…and they fucking won.

If you can’t wait for the movie, get the book Horse Soldiers by Doug Stanton.

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has been called a lot of things by supporters and critics over his 94 years on this planet: revolutionary; freedom fighter; dictator; alleged perpetrator of human rights violations. He’s about to add another controversial moniker to the list—”Goodwill Ambassador” to the World Health Organization (WHO).
New WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus announced that Mugabe would be a goodwill ambassador to the public health agency at a conference in Uruguay. Mugabe, according to Ghebreyesus, who is from Ethiopia, could then leverage the high profile (if largely symbolic) role “to influence his peers in his region,” ostensibly referring to African countries. Mugabe would be an ambassador on broad health issues like noncommunicable diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

So the United Nations once again shows that they are more into making sure Socialist Dictators get Good Buddy badges than actually tackle people suffering under their regimes.

You country racked by Malaria, TB and HIV? No problem, we got you. Neonatal and Under-Five Child Mortality out of control? Call it population control.

I am honoured to be joined by President Mugabe, of Zimbabwe, a country that places universal health coverage and health promotion at the centre of its policies to provide health care to all.
Today I am also honoured to announce that President Mugabe has agreed to serve as a goodwill ambassador on NCDs for Africa to influence his peers in his region to prioritize NCDs.

These were the words of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization. and former Minister of Health for Ethiopia, another Socialist from a Country without very much in the public health department.

We do need to GTFO.

I was expecting the tear gas, not the other goodies.
