Unrealistic Parents Need Books to Burn

Children's books that don't have happy endings should be banned, it was claimed yesterday.

Youngsters are already exposed to enough misery in their lives and should be protected from such stories, says a parents' group.

The Happy Ending Foundation is planning a series of Bad Book Bonfires for later this month, when parents will be encouraged to burn novels with negative endings.

The foundation has also written to school librarians across the country to coincide with Children's Book Week, which began on Monday, urging them to take ' controversial' books off shelves.

Democracy in action: fools mistake image for reality and if enough of them get together policy changes to reflect their delusions. What sort of misery are these youngsters exposed to? A dysfunctional society that promises heaven yet delivers empty, cleaver marketing and is incapable of taking action to solve actual problems because its pluralism makes consensus beyond basic material desires impossible. This cosmopolitanism leaves children no ground to stand on and no safe place.

These parents—these people—they want to limit the whole world, to bring it to a level they can understand. Reduce all religion to humanism; reduce all nations to capitalist democracies; retard education so retards don’t fail, and thus feel bad; embrace obesity as a style choice; deny ethnicities their cultural rite so they are as disconnected as you are; burn the books you don’t agree with, etc. These are the same people that will tell you “diversity is our greatest strength!” Laugh at fools like this whenever you get the opportunity, and, if possible, try to prevent them from breeding.
