“How 1984 and Fahrenheit 451 of them. I’m sure the ritual book burning will follow.”
Exactly Right.
Ban no books.
Let students read what ever books they wish.
I never thought I’d live long enough to see the Left begin to wipe history. Scary.
“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.
This is beyond stupid.
I have Huck Finn on my computer and a thumb drive. It’s a great story and gives a feel for the real world at the time. It’s history in the form of fiction. It’s important, as is Little House on the Prairie.
Although not as well known as 1984 or 451, Ayn Rand’s ‘Anthem’ essentially covers the same subjects, and was written in 1937, published in 1938..............
Just wait till they ‘discover’ Kipling’s writings....................
Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it..........George Santayana
The only problem is that they'd have to re-write it every few years.
"Parson Smith was a kindly old gentleman of color Negro gentleman colored gentleman Afro-American man African-American male soul brother empowered activist, "woke" member of the Proletariat, and Person of Color who came to Walnut Grove to preach the Word of the Lord spread the Gospel disseminate religious teachings perform community service incite the masses to violent revolution."

Leftists value control much more than they do truth or honesty. They often try to mau mau Samuel Clemens the same way. They’re determined to airbrush political incorrectness out of the culture.
Straight out of Orwell that is.
Next they will want to remove mention of Martin Luther King, Jr., since he discussed religion.
Very informative post on trying to keep literature aligned to current usage. Thumbs up on your talented take!
Excellent! LOL!
“Next they can go after our legendary WWII fighters.”
Next? They “revised” WWII history years ago. Our “schools” now teach that WWII was really about U.S. “atrocities”........Hiroshima, Dresden, Internment, Segregated Army, etc. Not much mention of the minor transgressions of the germans or japanese.........
.
Truth will not be tolerated!
(Not on PBS anyway)
Their ancestors are from Asia....they are not “Native Americans.”
God did not plop them down in this hemisphere.
First Peoples, yes, but humans are not native to the Americas.
Liberals are scum.
I was only trying to illustrate how the Left would not only substitute terminology, but eventually also change meanings.
No criticism of Holy Scripture was intended.
Regards,
This is sick!
