The “automatically remove books from the school library when a parent objects” movement in one quote:

Context: from an article explaining that this woman — who objected to a poem read at Biden’s inauguration being available in the school library - also “accidentally” posted stuff about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The Florida mom who sought to ban Amanda Gorman’s poem says she’s sorry for promoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion

The activist apologized to JTA and to “the Jewish community” for sharing the antisemitic forgery on her Facebook page.

@Popehat Her saying that she didn’t read the Elders of Zion and only reacted to the word communism is an honest admission of how rightwingers work these days.

They can’t understand context but look for key trigger words to make assumptions about what they’re reading. That’s why you can routinely debunk them using their own sources because they project their beliefs onto the source material. And if they’re told a source says something they won’t even check the original but imagine they read it.

@biobrain @Popehat

so true, but what could be done against that?
