Classic literature also reveals our dark history and possibly dark present in a way that whitewashed history books do not. This can be seen in books like The Scarlett Letter, which reveals the way a women’s sexuality was seen back then, or To Kill a Mockingbird, which holds the unfortunately still-present Black men struggle with the biased nature of the law. It also plays with the meaning of morality in a way that only Oscar Wilde and Ursule Le Guin know how to do. All of this is also why so many classic books are being banned in schools.
This bill, SB 254, applies to anyone under the age of 18, and it also bans “universities, local governments, the health insurance plans for state workers and providers contracted with the state’s Medicaid Managed Care program” from using public dollars to cover the treatments.

While it may be hard to catch a flight to Morocco and China to experience their culture, food allows us to experience a snippet of each country’s culture with significantly less money. And while the U.S. may not have a lot to brag about, food diversity does appear to be one of its raging pros. Americans seem to take for granted the amount of traveling one can do with just a few minutes of driving. The fact that one can still experience Asia’s finesse with the use of chopsticks and the savoring of Sake, or that one can be a victim of India’s spice infatuation with just a walk down the block, or receive some of Puerto Rico’s warmth with some of their mondongo from down the street, it all emphasizes the effect the food market has created in terms of cultural unity.
The United States has already reached over 130 shootings in the first three months of 2023. So it is not a surprise that the U.S. is failing when it comes to gun laws. However, this new analysis published by Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence tells us just how much.
Tyler the Creator’s new song “Sorry Not Sorry” opens with the words ‘Pardon me.’ In this newly released single, this artist taps into his dark, inner self of the past and apologizes for that version of himself. All while at the same time somehow portraying the fact that he doesn’t owe anybody an apology. In this song, there is a juxtaposition between sarcasm and sincerity, which accurately represents his journey as an artist. Musically, this song also harbors styles from both eras since we see his rapping resemble that of his old music in some pieces of the song.

For decades society has been a victim of censorship, whitewashing, and banning. Either history is told a different way, or it is retold in hushed tones. As if shouting, it would erupt mass chaos and destruction. Book banning can be seen in two ways: either an attempt at shielding younger generations away from accurate aspects of life that they will, regardless, find out about in the future; or an attempt at hiding history and developing in students a narrow worldview. It means a denial of First Amendment rights and proven psychological deficits.
