Rewriting, Washing, Scrubbing American Culture

So it’s the fault of libruhls for opposing Trump? Their divisive rhetoric will hurt the country?

 

Your klan is going to get what it wants out of this deal. The libruhls will leave. Either they will be replaced by bigots or the New College of Florida will close. Win for your boy in the governor’s mansion.

 

I think DeSantis is silly.

 

I didn't write any of those things. I wrote exactly what I wrote.

 

Well, Florida's official, government-mandated revisionism and censorship certainly argue against the notion that the real threat to language and meaning comes from the 'new cultural left' . . . rather then the old-timey fascist right.

 

Yes, but we’re talking about what the left might do, not what the right is doing as we speak. Besides, everyone is talking about what the right is doing.

 

Makes you wonder what conservatives are trying to conserve.

 

There is this weird idea in some quarters that "history" is only meant to celebrate whatever it is covering. Nope. Some history sucks. People made some seriously immoral choices. It is what it is.

 

Wonder if Ida Bae Wells is doing any examination of Native American history standards.

It is, though.
