America's Kristallnacht sets deeper roots and new forms

 

At this rate, nobody will hear a who - American Thinker  . . . "Canceling Dr. Seuss for language considered socially acceptable at the time of publication is akin to suggesting that all history will inevitably be erased because it will eventually fail to meet newer, "better" social acceptance standards.  He is a product of the time he was raised.  He is a product of the time his parents were raised.  He is a product of an immigrant family and all the trappings that each immigrant family brings to America's melting pot.

"If America continues down the road of canceling all voices that make someone feel uncomfortable, children will be denied the chance to learn from the good and bad of history.  It destroys any opportunity for historical reflection.  It eliminates any measure of progress because no record of the past will exist.  At this rate, nobody will hear a Who from Whoville ever again."

Who Had 'Dr. Seuss Is Racist' On Their Cancel Bingo Cards? – PJ Media   . . . "Most forms of entertainment are reflective of the time they were created and there’s a lot of older stuff out there that the woke scolds find problematic because none of them understand context. Disney Plus has been putting warnings on classic movies and cartoons like Dumbo because somebody might have a feeling hurt while watching it. Heck, pretty much everything that was written or filmed before 1965 is probably suspect now. I’m reading a classic sci-fi anthology that’s mostly stuff from the first half of the 20th century and it’s a minefield of words that would be deemed culturally inappropriate now. Does that mean these old stories by luminaries in the genre have no value anymore?" . . .

FACEPALM: Joe Biden Cancels Dr. Seuss – PJ Media  "Last week, when Amazon removed Ryan T. Anderson’s When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment from its digital shelves, many conservatives rightly decried the act as a kind of digital book burning. Yet on Tuesday, six Dr. Seuss books received the same treatment for Theodor Seuss Geisel’s March 2 birthday — a day now celebrated as “Read Across America Day.” Dr. Seuss Enterprises, the business that preserves and protects the author’s legacy, announced it would pull six books from publication due to allegedly racist and insensitive imagery." . . .
