“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” ― George Orwell, 1984

“Inclusive Minds” doesn’t sound very inclusive at all.

For sure, they could have gone Fahrenheit 451 instead of 1984.

I see that they’re examining ‘James and the Giant Peach’.

Now here’s the thing. My first name is James. And when I was in high school, I dated a large girl who was nicknamed ‘Peachy’. She dumped me. It hurt. And the pain comes back whenever I see that book’s title.

So I demand that the title of that book be changed! My feelings are as important as anyone else’s. No, I think they are actually more important.

I thought 1984 was supposed to be a warning.

NOT a How To guise.

The Fall of Empire continues apace.

People For the Ethical Eating of Fruit, PFEEF, agree, the title should be changed because it has a fruit named in it.................

I wonder if his heirs went along with this, or if they even have any ownership.

Inclusive Minds, which monitors children’s literature for inclusion, diversity, and accessibility...

Foot soldiers for the New Cultural Revolution. They're at the other end of Orwell's foot stomping on a human face forever.

I went to a kids’ Summer Camp one year, and told the fishing instructor that I wanted to be a ‘fisherwoman’.

He corrected me and told me that I would be a fisherman.

(We didn’t have to alter good English back then to please silly people.)
