Are conservatives activists so concerned with information related to living under Nazism because they don't want young people to be able to recognize the steps if those steps occur to young people today?
No no, that would require “reason”.
No this is all somehow related to Jeezus.
Not it's 100% tied to the resurgence of white supremacy. These conservatives groups are backed by humongous PACs that fund groups that push their agenda. Just like with turningpointusa and groups like that. Don't mistake careful planning masked by racist zealots as idiocy.

Anne Frank’s diary
You fucking disgrace
Get out of my country
For some reason this made me way more irrationally angry than just killing Palestinians. It’s killing Palestinians and running cover for the people who killed Anne Frank and Spiegelman’s brother, and doing it all at the exact same time with no sense of shame or embarrassment but, I’m sure, a smug sense of superiority like everyone else is the monster in this
This guy better really hope that there isn’t a hell
Hey man. If it looks like a Nazi, walks like a Nazi and quacks like a Nazi, it's probably a Nazi
Idk, if it quacks it might be an undercover nazi-duck

It's not really surprising - historically, the creation Israel state was helped massively by antisemitists, who wanted to get rid of jews in their own country and having them a place to immigrate to would be the easiest option (the phenomena is often referred to as Zionist antisemitism).
So yeah, it does make sense - they can hate the jews, but also support Israel at the same time.

The conservative groups are led by Pastor Luis Cabrera, who is active in Latino conservative circles in the state and whose Instagram profile picture is currently an upraised fist outlined with the Israeli flag. Originally from Guatemala, Cabrera is a member of several right-wing Christian activist organizations and has also posted numerous pieces of pro-Israel social media content.
The thing about Uncle Tom's are they come in all shapes, races, ethnicities, and backgrounds. Ironically the things they all hate and fight against
Another thing is that Uncle Tom was eventually flogged to death by the people whose admiration he so desperately sought to win.
Fundamentalist only see things in measures of what helps them obtain what they want. Once the utility of someone is over, they have zero compunction with turning on the person that helped them and riving them to nothingness as demonstration.
Man, that's horrible...better make sure "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is on the list to get removed.

I simply cannot wrap my head around this. How is this defensible? What possible justification could they provide for banning Maus?? Anne's Diary?? How could you even link these to any contemporary agenda?
Because they're fucking Nazis, how many ways do they need to prove it to you?
Wise person: "Those who do not know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them."
Actual Nazis: Great idea. Let's burn some books.
Nah I get that they're Nazis. But the article failed to mention the official justification to ban these. I want to know what's the sugarcoated, duplicitous rationale they provided.

See, us Jews control Hollywood, so all of that is just PR messaging about our Holocaust lie. And we also control the banks, so we're the ones buying these books and bribing school librarians to put them on the shelves. Whereupon, I guess, something about the trans agenda happens? I'm a cishet Jew, so I'm only up on our side of the conspiracy.
It's amazing that Republicans are both pro-Israel and anti-Jew at the same time.
There's a reason for that, which I mentioned in a post elsewhere in the thread:
“Outspoken Israel advocates” who are evangelical Christians don’t love Jews. Quite the opposite. They need Israel to exist so all Jews in the world can be forcibly deported to it, and then made to rebuild the Great Temple, so Jesus can come back and throw them all into Hell.
And a red cow comes into the picture as well.
None of that is sarcasm. That is really what they think.

They can link them to their own goals. They want to avoid that people might notice the signs and recognize them as a warning. Let me guess, "The Wave" has been banned there, too?
I just can't understand how someone could think that banking books is a good idea.
edit: sorry banning not banking

Didn't need to read past the word "Texas" and I know not only would the next words be really stupid but also I would believe it 100%
An "outspoken Israel advocate" wants to get rid of books about the Holocaust and antisemitism in general? I am very confused. Usually right wing extremist demands make some kind of sense from within their twisted world view, but how does that fit together at all, in any world view?
Hard right folks don't like teaching the history of the consequences of hard right political movements. Those histories never end with a country full of happy economically secure people just living their lives because the only thing fascists can do is destroy everything.

As a Jew, I think I won't be going to Texas any time soon.
Try living here
I'd prefer not to given this situation, and I hope you are and stay safe.
I gotta work on getting my kids passports. If the traitor fucktard wins, i could see us all forced onto cattle cars.
If you are a cis-het white who at least publicly proclaims belief in Jesus, you should be fine. For eveyone else, they'll start with those who have the least power and keep coming for the next out-group on the ladder.... and they'll use anyone they can convince along the ladder to kick off those on a lower rung.
Let's see, illegal immigrants, homeless, drug addicts, trans, gay, muslim, atheist, brown, jewish - appologies if sure if I left anyone out. You may disagree with the order, but I might not be far off.
Add liberals, scientists, teachers to the end of the list.
I'm still proud of the copy of "Maus" that I donated to the library of my shitty little Texas town before I moved out of that hell-hole a few years back. I still check the online catalog from time to time to make sure it's still in circulation.
As someone else who got out of a shitty little Texas town, I salute you.
My partner is an educator in Texas and I showed this to them. So thanks for posting, OP, getting the word out and such.
