Ironically, these are the real examples of what was seen in stories like 1984. I'm actually surprised by the number of people on this site buying it. But then, people have unironically quoted things like this: Which would suggest that they have no idea what any of it actually is and simply think "Well, Trump is against it and I hate Trump. So it must be a good thing."

You obviously don't know the ideology that this system is seeking to keep out of schools. If you want an analogy. This is the school system saying "We don't want to live in a society like 1984 (or Stalin or Mao, if you like), so we're making sure that harmful ideologies cannot be used to indoctrinate our children."

Apparently a trained member of staff already working at the school. Sounds like a good idea. As long as the kids are safe from radical ideology. Doesn't sound like it's that at all. That's the whole point of keeping a certain dangerous ideology out of schools. The aim is to prevent this type of thinking.

No. As has been explained already, they're simply requiring that books are approved before being used in the classroom/stocked in the library. It is being done by a trained member of staff in the school. The government isn't banning books. The only place that is happening is in your mind. To put it simply, there is being put in place a way to keep certain books that contain a certain harmful ideology, away from the children for their own protection. Which is quite sensible.

They aren't banning books at all. They're saying that books used in schools have to be approved. They're simply trying to keep a certain type of harmful ideology out of schools. I suggest you actually look into what is happening now as well as thinking about what happened in the past. What is happening now is the nipping in the bud of exactly what you're concerned about that happened in the past.

It's about classroom libraries in the original post, the twitter post and the article linked. If you read the article, all they're doing is having a specially trained member of staff who already works at the school approve the books that can be used in the school. It isn't the government doing it. They haven't got the the teacher's personal books yet, so the school has asked teachers to remove any unauthorised books. it's all hot air and performance by the teachers. Probably because ego makes them think that no one should be able to tell them what books are and aren't allowed in "their" classroom. From the article:
