You get a burnt book! YOU get a burnt book! Everybody's leaving with a burnt book!!! This week, I'm dissecting the fact vs fiction of Ronnie D’s book burning antics in Florida and the other side of that coin in the Battle of the S̶e̶x̶e̶s̶ Censorship war. Dragging Huck Finn into this is one thing. But Oompa Loompas?! The nerve. Taking a peek into queer theory and critical race theory -- both gloriously convoluted -- we'll peel back how both political sides of the culture war indulge in their own slippery slopes of censoring everyone who breathes the wrong way, but further, how the archnemeses are almost exact versions of the other. On the bright side, the one some refer to as reality, there are voices bringing rationale to the insanity. Now pass me a Target pride rainbow glass and let's get this party going!
