Instead of banning books, right wingers should try reading books.

Typical shallow thinker’s knee jerk reaction here. Book is all about a black kid fitting in, so it must be full of anti white people sentiment.

books off the list. The New Kid was the first one I bought. It's a great book! Also, I don't see what the nazis are freaking out about. It can only be because they are racist assholes. I guess any book from a person of color's view is dangerous to them.

I also bought The Breakaways and read that one. I heard the nazis had a problem with *gasp* a transgender character being in the book. Oh, and *double gasp*, two of the characters were having a sleepover, and *triple gasp*, they kissed!!!

These fuckwads need to get over themselves and realize the world they want to go back to, ain't gonna happen.
