Authors of George Floyd book were told not to talk about systemic racism at Tenn. school event

Journalists Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa, authors of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “His Name Is George Floyd,” are still unclear why they were told they couldn’t read from their book or talk about systemic racism to a room full of high school students in Memphis.
Two days before an event at Whitehaven High School, they said they were “blindsided” by the last-minute restrictions, which they believed event organizers issued in accordance with Tennessee laws restricting certain books in schools. They said they’d also been told the week before the appearance that their book wouldn’t be distributed at the event.
One thing is for certain, the authors said: The students paid the price ultimately.

Yeah I said systematic racism is a theory that is not reflected in reality. It is an unproven theory. Period. Cope.
Your choice to turn a blind eye to systemic racism doesn't mean it doesn't exist, sweetie.
Cope, says the person living in their own head because facts scare them.
I can't believe we have all the information of the world at our fingertips. So much knowledge. And yet people like you walk around screeching and eating their own boogers.
Here, i googled it for you so you don't have to use up all the energy in those 3 braincells bouncing around in that head of yours.
