They even ruined Itchy and Scratchy:
Itchy and Scratchy in Porch Pals

This is, I think, mirroring the Tom and Jerry cartoons of the early 80s where they became buddies because cats attacking mice (and losing badly) is too cruel for kids to handle. And the cartoons pretty much were like the video above.

When librarians started to support the book burners by pulling literature like Huckleberry Finn off their shelves, they brought their own devaluation upon themselves.

Yes, I know. But our leftist revolutionaries would probably call it ‘peaceful’ revolution. Never mind the rivers of blood of slaughtered Christian conservatives and other unwanted privileged classes.

No doubt the commie-dems will do their best to have Ayn Rand erased eventually.

Exactly!

In an unrelated note that I have no idea why it comes to mind, when my daughter was growing up she was obsessed for a while with Scooby Doo. I told her about Scrappy Doo and she didn't believe me because there are NO episodes with Scrappy ever shown in reruns, none. It's like they killed him and dumped his body in a vat of ink dissolver then burned all the tapes.

Watched “Unforgiven” last night. 1960 with Burt Lancaster and Audrey Hepburn. Interesting to note the portrayed attitudes of the settlers towards the local Indians. At least twice they were referred to (uncut in the film) as “Red Ni@@ers.”
Audrey Hepburn was an Indian baby that had been rescued from a massacre and raised by a white family as one of their own. Very few people knew about it, not even her brothers, and she even thought she was white. When the locals found out that she was Indian, even though she had grown up among them, they had no compassion and demanded that she be sent back to the tribe. Burt Lancaster’s character refused, but it fractured long standing family alliances.
