Yes, they're at it again. The Daily Mail have taken their crusade against all things they don't understand by condemning the decision to put Japanese Manga in schools.
The books are vetted by the School's councils, but the Mail once again shows their ignorance of everything by not undertanding the difference between comic books and Japanese Manga.
Only a fool would suggest that reading an adaption of Spirited Away (to give a well known example) would lead to 'harder' material which is often read by adults in Japan. It would be like suggesting children shouldn't read books, in case it gets them involved in horror or porn based reading material, or not watching Bambi on video, because it will eventually lead the kids to something by Ron Jeremy.
Daily Mail, well done, you've done it again...

Why "Especially"? The Bible certainly isn't English.

I love how the first and second paragraphs fit together like a perfectly formed moronic jigsaw.

Meh, I can't lead to anything.
The general target area for these "projects" involve State schools, hence the price to buy more perverted manga would be too high.
Mmm...
Hentai...

PLEASE, explain and define this. Please. I'd love someone to do this for once.

Japan doesn't need any English language then. WOOPS! It's happened already. Half the world didn't need British rule...but wait, that was ALL GOOD, no?

They are. But surprisingly, people in other countries are JUST AS IMPORTANT!!! Shock revelation, but humans are human are human. I've learnt all about Britain etc- in fact, I'd say I know more about British history than many who proclaim to 'love' this country blindly, simply because it's where they live - and no, I'm not anti-British. I just detest blind patriotism, from any nationality.

It's not. It's in a library. Read first.

I've studied the Bible in RS. SURPRISED? We also looked at the Torah and Ko'ran. Etc. My God, I'm dirty and foreign.
Aha.

I've been reading manga for 4 years now, and only started raping people a few months ago.
It didn't affect me all that much.

In my opinion, our country is losing it's character. We dont need any of that Manga crap here. If people want to read it, fine, but British books, novels, language and history should be taught.

I ranted on for about 10 minutes about the Daily Mail in class today. Then my teacher joined me, as did a few others, and no work was done. Which was nice.

Trouble is, this ignorance actually influences people.
Thing about the Mail is it's run by vey clever people who don't neccessarily believe a word of what they write, but do it to get the sales. Which they do. It's cynical and highly damaging, but profitable. Bas*ards.
Best thing was them screming about MPs wages (another debate) - what does the editor of the Mail get I wonder?

They always bring up groups like these - I remember when they whined about Blackadder being put on the A-Level English course. IT'S NOT A CLASSIC (well, it is, but you know) LIKE SASSOON OR OWEN!!! We read the script (the script, so that was words, consequently possibly slightly more acceptable than TV - OH LOOK! Charlotte Church is wearing red underwear!!!!111 OMG!)
So, the fact that I studied poems from about 30 different writers, books, art and other forms of, erm, media of WW1, meant that Blackadder was an evil. We used it to see how the war was/has been viewed. But that didn't matter, because it wasn't written by Owen, Brookes, or Sassoon. Who we studied to death anyway.
Like WS said, can we not lead a 'crusade' on the Mail?!
