Some political philosophies have proven their merit and other have proven their lack of merit. To ignore these distinctions is to doom our future generations to the same mistakes we've already learned the hard way.
And just who is being wakened by this call? How long has this gone on? I remember in the late 60s, reading about what was being done to textbooks and since then it has gotten nothing but worse. I heard a man connected with the textbook publishing industry say recently, that California is the largest customer for textbooks and if they don't publish what California wants their books won't sell. That is what it all comes down to, what sells.
