Re: “The book’s portrayal of Native Americans is the exact opposite of what this stupid and dishonest whiner claims.”
This is known as double-teaming. The Leftist school administrators (and the media hack who wrote the piece) know that Huxley was using sarcasm by having the engineered and derivative-humans (no longer full humans) of his novel call the natural born “savages.” It is another example of the practice of Victimoguery.
On one hand we have Leftist/Statists who want power need to eliminate the obstacles to that power, and an intelligent and informed population is seen, rightly, as such an obstacle.
On the other hand, along comes a trouble maker who voices a slight discomfort over some words that are in actually meant to provide comfort to people like the woman and her daughter.
Those in power imbue in her voice greater meaning but claiming that she is speaking for a vast unknown number of other voices, and thereby add leverage to her words so they can pull such stunts as “censoring a book, but not really censoring it.” The fokkers are censoring the discussion that would bring out the warnings of the book against their kind, and they full-well know it. And the vise is closed another notch. THAT IS DOUBLE-TEAMING.
Western society (fast becoming a shell of its former greatness) is in the middle.
This is why I’m against the overuse of sarcasm and facetious expression instead of calling out their bastardizations head-on. At some point the pin-heads point to the expression as if the mock statement was meant to be taken seriously.
This story of a middle-schooler being upset by words meant to demonstrate the loss of humanity in sophisticated (self-satisfied but adulterated) society is an example of what Huxley was warning. This is manufactured outrage in a kid who looks around and sees that others who express hurt feelings get more attention than those who do not.
The Leftist and Statists Live for this sort of thing.
This story needs more exposure.
Good post!
