The original dude tried to double down then deleted his account and the second person, who is a teacher, deleted the tweet after the backlash.

Yeah, libraries in particular have a huge flow of books coming and going, the books degrade, gather no interest or get obsolete and the space is limited, so you inevitably end up having to dump a lot of them. You can mitigate that by selling them away for a symbolic price but the volume will still build up.

No one is saying it's not normal for old books to be trashed, but to frame it as this powerful strike against complacent non-diverse authors is loving idiotic.

oh yeah that's idiotic

There's a pretty meaningful conversation ongoing about "the canon" that basically comes down to what is the best use of teaching time (you can only assign so many readings in an education and is tradition for traditions sake good enough) but Twitter is the worst debate medium.

It's also loving hysterical to frame that as a strike against non diverse, ancient works when you can see multiple copies of loving Hiroshima peeking out of that pile

Sophocles was notable in his personal life for one thing: he liked boys, not girls.

The ancient Greeks were huge creeps when it came to sex age-wise, but the dude was gay and not just in the way lots of his peers were.
