A HS student to their TX school board, which is banning books:

“I’m not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school’s library, that I don’t need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point.

1) Don't ask Black users to CW discussions of their own racism.

2) Don't be on a server where mods mistreat Black folk.

3) Support the mods on your own server, financially and otherwise.

4) Don't engage with sea lions that say "Mistreatment? Here? prove it!" There have been enough threads shared on Black folk receiving racism. Individually convincing each one is exhausting, and expecting that is a tactic of bad faith actors.

How can both of these things be true?

1. "Today there are nearly 159 million employed. However, the birth rate—or number of live births per 1,000 residents—at 11 in 2021 is less than half the levels of the 1960s. As Mauldin notes, the underlying problem beyond immediate worker shortages is that we are making fewer humans" (Fast Company).

2. "Last week, Biden marked two years in office - with nearly 4M deportations under his watch" (United We Dream).

"In the end, Brunet’s story is one of a man who was out of his element but found a cause worth fighting for. He was able to help the Shogunate army in their final battle against the Imperial army and preserve the samurai way of life, if only for a bit longer.
