A very needed defense for a very good author- who cannot defend herself against the evil revisionists and their cancel culture...aided by a corrupt, dishonest media - that is the enemy of a FREE people...

Most universities are filled with functional illiterates who can neither read nor understand literature. I gave one of C.S. Lewis’ books, The Abolition of Man, to a 30 year old to read. This young man graduated in education with a BA.

He brought it back to me several months later and complained that it was unreadable. Lewis’ writing was too difficult.

What can you expect?

The short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find” was one of the most shocking pieces I’ve ever read.

She was a brilliant writer. It’s sad, but not unexpected, that the Cancel Culture is now out to get her.

True, O’Connor sometimes used the “n” word in her letters and stories, as well as the term “white trash,” but this was not shocking for someone born in 1925 in Georgia.

So did Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). Will they go after him next?
