Texas A&M has banned some Plato and, I assume Ovid''s ""Metamorphoses." "In Ovid's "Metamorphoses," the myth of the androgyne is illustrated through the story of Hermaphroditus, the child of Hermes and Aphrodite. He is transformed into a being of both sexes after being merged with the nymph Salmacis, who wished for them to be united forever, symbolizing the fusion of male and female attributes." "Plato's 'Symposium' describes a time when humans were originally spherical beings with both male and female characteristics. According to the myth, these beings were split in two by the gods, leading to a lifelong search for their other halves, symbolizing the quest for love and unity." This reminds me that I haven't seen "The Butcher's Wife" in a long time; great movie!

Why? Ignoring an issue won't make it disappear. Even worse, fascism is growing again all over the world. I think "My struggle" should be read at every school in every democratic country, and discussed widely, so that people really inderstand what certain ideas lead to, and see clearly the "FO" part in FAFO before they have to find out in real life.
