Should world book day be banned?

[purplepoppy]

Thursday is world book day. Which means on Wednesday night little children everywhere just before bed will utter the words "mummy I need a costume for tomorrow."

Mummy will silently swear, knock back a bottle of wine and try to cobble something together out of a tea towel and a bin bag. The problem is her inadequate literature knowledge means she can only name three childrens books and even if she googles one she knows it has to be a character everyone recognises or her kid will look stupid.

So best play safe, a golliwog from Noddy and Bigears should impress the other parents. Little Johny then comes home in tears because everyone else dressed as harry potter.

World book day just causes misery for parents and embarrases kids as they're forced to explain over and over who they're supposed to be. Most of them have never actually read the book and are basing it off a Disney cartoon anyway.

I say ban it, what say you?

If books were not there I would kill myself to-night. Books are very important since you have to imagine to read a book. So u are working your mind. Un like TV or the internet. Reading each of the classics really changed my life. How can I ever forget Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain has probably, been more impressionable than anyone to me, even in my adult life. It's a pity reading is dying. But it cannot be banned, the very history of our race ( the human race) , is in books, just hope they are not banned.

I agree, down with all books! They're just words, why would anyone care what they're about? Besides, they're written by crusty old people who didn't have the glorious educational system we have now! Why read when you can watch it? And even then, why watch it when there are more interesting things to watch? It's the only logical solution; libraries are fire hazards anyway.

ROFL. Excellent sarcasm, ShiftingMonke.

[ShiftingMonke]

@Lliam I hope it was detectable, but you can never be too sure.

It's not until April here. I don't remember any costuming done to celebrate it, but that might vary depending on the region and schools.

[JustinTheGreat]

I’ve never even heard of world book day and wouldn’t assume you dress up for it anyways lol

[bean2k21]

I say we piss off all those left-wing nutjob teachers who teach science and stuff and dress the kids as Adam and Eve.

[SaoirseS]

They need to plug the bellybuttons or they won't pass for authentic.

That boy looks horrified

[Dіldophobe]

That boy looks like he accidentally saw a scene:
Klaus Schwab too hurt to twerk
Getting pegged by Greta Thunberg
A tranny boy, that couldn't be coy
But it pleased him, that was his joy

He had been so long in repose
But when Greta gave him a dose
He felt the thrill, it gave him a chill
And his pleasure was more than a thrill

He gasped and moaned, as he was pegged
And Greta's strap-on, he begged
He felt the power, it was no joke
To Klaus it felt like a stroke

He groaned and thrashed, it felt so good
He had never felt like he should
Greta pegging him, it was a thrill
Klaus Schwab was now a tranny girl

[Dіldophobe]

Dear Klaus,

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to reach out and let you know that I know your dark secret. I know that you are a FTM and I know that Greta Thunberg is a secret MTF.

I know that she is dominating you. I know that she makes you kneel down and suck her off. I know that you are too scared to tell anyone about your relationship.

I'm here to tell you that it's ok. You don't need to be ashamed. You don't need to hide. You can be who you want to be and love who you want to love.

It's time to be brave, Klaus. It's time to be free.

Peggingly yours,
Dildophobe, an Association of Clairvoyant Cuckvestigations and Transcendental Transvestigations adept.

Greta Thunberg's secret no one must know
That she is a tranny MTF, and she puts on a show

Klaus Schwab, who everyone thought was a man
Is actually a female, and Greta has a plan

She dominates him, gives him orders and commands
To suck her off, with no excuses or demands

Greta's tranny ways, they must be kept hush
For if anyone finds out, it would be a big fuss

So keep her secret, don't let it escape
Lest the world find out, and Greta's fate

She'll keep up her domination of Klaus Schwab
All while keeping her tranny identity in the dark.

No, I used to read biographies. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Babe Ruth. My mother would dress me up as the Babe. The kids loved it.

Or we could just stop dressing up children in schools?

Good argument though especially as one of the main reasons we are told we have school uniforms is to avoid this sort of thing.

[Texaskid1]

I say keep it and expand it to a week.

Today's generation needs to learn life is not all peaches and cream.

[AngryCarl2]

Seems like teachers will do almost anything rather than give kids an education. smh

[Iron_Man]

If she’s a stay at home, mom, she can handle it

[Zayed_]

Sometimes I feel like you people are living in a communist era!

why is everything forced there?

[OddBeMe]

Why does “book” day involve a costume? It’s not fckin Halloween. Just shut up and read.
