Trashing Unwoke Books

In short, a school library dumped a lot of books into a dumpster. The true cause for this is unclear; it is a sad reality that libraries often have to relieve themselves of large numbers of unwanted/unneeded/damaged books. And the further reality is that a great many, perhaps most, books are of no real great cultural or historical value, and wind up just taking up space. This is an issue I’m wrestling with myself, with the end result being that several car loads of paperbacks and a metric ᚠᚪᛣᚳᛏᚩᚾ of National Geographics will have to go to a thriftstore or, worse, the dump. This is a reality that I recognize… but it’s not one I *celebrate.* Because I’m not a gorram woke SJW who revels in the erasure of my history and culture.

In contrast:

It’s impossible to make out what’s in those dumpsters. Could very well be a boatload of multiple copies of obsolete textbooks, the loss of which is often no real loss. But to celebrate tossing them out in order to replace them with woke rubbish of no talent, skill, virtue or value is just friggen’ tragic. Worse, the person doing the celebrating…

… is the head of “English Language Arts” for the public schools in Washington Township, NJ.

Ye gods.

The rest of the article is worth reading, especially the bits about how that township has a paid position for some to oversee the implementation of “equity” and the nonsense that goes with it:
