Venice mayor bans anti-discrimination books from primary schools
July 4, 2015 at 1:07 pm
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

How long has he been mayor? What brought this on? Gawds, I hate it when I see positive things take a backslide because of one backwards way of thinking.

He was elected just a couple weeks ago. His victory was the result of a disastrous campaign by the Democrat party, and the heavily conservative culture of Veneto. Also, Italian politicians like to please the local Cardinals, as they control large numbers of votes :/

I know this is coming from a USian, so it probably falls flat (although, yay majority of SCOTUS!), but that's just evil.

Is fascism making a comeback in Italy?

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Is Venice an autonomous region, kinda like Catalonia in Spain? If so, are they legally and constitutionally authorized to take these legislative measures?

No, Veneto is a regular region, and besides, this is just the city of Venice...
I don't know about primary schools, but public preschools are controlled by the Comune (the municipality), so they have the right to do things like these... Except this is a case of pure and simple censorship that doesn't even make sense (why would you even ban books against bullying?!)

Why stop at banning, let the burning begin (insert evil laugh here)!
