What do you guys think about the Dr. Seuss scandal?

Republicans: Private companies can deny service to anyone!!
Also Republicans: Private companies deciding not to republish books I don't give a shit about is an attack on free speech. Originally Posted by Passerby

We know the publishing company is under pressure from the Left. Just like Major League Baseball, Coca Cola and Delta are over the Georgia Voting Law. You should be worried about this. These books are how they start. Something you don't care about. It reminds me of the poem "First They Came" by Rev. Neimoller.

First they came for the Socialists and I didn't speak up. Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I didn't speak up. Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak up. Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.

History has a way of repeating itself. Different names and faces, but they are all alike. They start with books you don't care about. Next they will do gun control, to keep you from being a threat. They will suppress other political parties . Re-distribute your wealth by new laws, so they get more votes from the lower classes. Discriminate against you, if you have a different view from them. Which keeps you from a good job or any at all. Indoctrinate the youth to their views in schools. Pack courts to get their way. Etc, etc. I can happen because it has happened. The last hundred years. Communist Russia, Nazi Germany, Communist China, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela to name a few.

Tailhook, you're gonna prolapse your asshole pulling that much shit out. There would be room for concern if you actually believed any of that nonsense, but you don't. Not really. There is no depth of thought here, just repeated talking points and a huge helping of fear. gg

Well time will tell. MLB did pull out of Atlanta. People have lost their jobs for saying something the Left didn't like. Corporate taxes will be passed down in the form of higher prices for goods and services.If you think you won't pay more in taxes to be sent to the lower classes, it is happening now at the border. Who do you think is footing that tab? He will give them citizenship in order to get their votes. Statues have been removed and even Diane Fienstien's name is slated to be taken off the school which bears here name. For something she did 30 yrs ago.Those books were pulled. The others might not happen but you know they will try, if they aren't called out by the press. Which I doubt would even happen because they are all liberal. Biden has only been in office less than 90 days. He is adding to the debt with no end in site. At no time did Biden say stacking the court was off the table. He does want gun control. Who knows what form that will be.

The sheer amount of stupidity in this thread is astounding.

You don't erase history simply because it hurts your little cry baby feelings. I am First Nation so don't bleed any Bull Shit on me. I still want History to be taught to those smart enough to listen.
