This has nothing to do with your presumption that if Mein Kampf was included as part of a WWII curriculum in history class, that it should have just been ignored.

If it had been part of any history lessons you took in school, would you have simply disregarded it and said "I know why Hitler rose to power; I don't need to learn about this published work by him"?
Maybe...but even if I had read...I probably wouldn't push it as a must read...or in your case robbie...using the fact I read mein kampf to be intellectually superior 😉
 
Oh yeah, that's right the information is suppose to filtered without any sort of mechanism in place to prevent it from being disclosed. Of course that would require journalists "conspiring" to not report that information, which would make it censorship just not gov't censorship. Or perhaps it would become part of journalistic standards (ie the NYT or AP style guide), but then again that would be a form of censorship. But lets just say that some how we can get around the whole censorship issue, we'll call it God's will or magic or whatever other way information could with held from the public without censoring it (although technically even if we put it on God or Wizards, it just means God or Wizards are the ones doing the censoring).

Still doesn't address the fact that regardless of the issue of censorship, the identifying of a killers beliefs doesn't seem to really have any impact on the division in our nation. Ie, I think most of us accept that mass murderers are mass murderers first with their "identities" coming in a distant second.
It's only censorship because you want it to be. It's not though. All you are saying is the news is not enough unless it's giving you details that don't help you do anything. The more dramatic the news the more you like it.

A person armed with a gun shot up a school today killing 6 people. That is complete information. You think it's censorship if they don't include the person's ****** preference. Do you need to know their shoe size, color underwear?

Censorship is exactly what you demand when you say the info should be held by a certain party until a special request is made to get it, and a "need" accompanies that request.

censorship - the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information

And your example is FAR from complete. Did the shooter die also? Did they escape the scene and are on the loose? Were they arrested? Did they have any accomplices? If they are loose, who should we looking for? Male? Female? Young? Old? Male dressed as female? Tall? Short?

Oh NOW you want to ask questions. Again, not one shred of comprehension. I said the information was complete. What confused you? The word complete or the lack of fluff?

Ohhhh YOU said the information was complete.
YOU are the overseer who determines what information is complete enough to make a news report.
Got it. No censorship, just Thxone deciding what is or is not appropriate information to be included in a news report.

You think it's "fluff" to know if the shooter was captured or is on the loose.
You think it's "fluff" to know if the shooter is male or female.
You think it's "fluff" to know the shooter's skin color if they are on the loose.
How about whether the dead are children or school administration? Just more "fluff"?

Wow, you REALLY know how to dig yourself into holes that you just can't get out of.
 
You didn't quote his favorite book...it confused him 😂
Quite the flex to say you would refuse to do your schoolwork because you already are smart enough.
And then know nothing of the topic when it comes up.

At least you're not as bad as Thx who claimed "extensive" study of anatomy, but didn't know a very simple fact about it, and still insists the medical textbooks and doctors all have it wrong...
 
Whoops, I guess they forget to mention this part, because it's your tax dollars going to it. When the federal gov says white supremacy is the biggest threat, then they fund neo-Nazi groups, then are they warning the nation of themselves?

Whoops again

'Two militia groups of anti-Kremlin Russians with links to neo-Nazis had claimed credit for the attack, and weren't shy about showing off their US and NATO military hardware.'

 
When did I say I'd refuse doing my schoolwork? Mein fuhrergmn
It's in your answer to my very direct question:

You don't need to read it even if it is part of the lesson plan, discussion, and testing, because you know "why he rose the to power".
