Cowards and fools! I learned a lot about American Indians from going to museums, including this one and subscribed to Natural History magazine for decades.
They changed over the years and hired an open MARXIST Stephen Jay Gould to do a lot of their columns writing.
Should is listed as a member of the Advisory Board of “Rethinking Marxism”, Summer 1990, Volume 3, Number 2.
“The aim of Rethinking Marxism is to stimulate interest in and debate over the explanatory power and social consequences of Marxian economic, cultural and social analysis”. Inside front cover page.
Hope this helps explain a small part of the thinking of leftist New York State and others regarding museum collections which help to introduce people to differing cultures.
21. Spelchek screwed up the second spelling of Gould’s name, changing it to Should or something like that.
I just looked up the name. Not sure if it's the same one. He was a paleontologist, worked at the museum, but died of cancer in 2002. Is there a later Stephen Jay Gould. I'm assuming he was related to Jay Gould, railroad magnate, speculator, "robber baron."
I would like to read that if you have it. Interesting take on Gould. I have read most of what he wrote and I get rhe opposite interpretation. Yes I know his dad was a huge Marxist and yes he is a jew , but he was against social darwinism...which I believe is very Marxist.
One of the reasons I became a scientist was reading natural history and Goulds articles.

“If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable - what then?”

“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
“It was curious to think that the sky was the same for everybody, in Eurasia or Eastasia as well as here. And the people under the sky were also very much the same—everywhere, all over the world, hundreds or thousands of millions of people just like this, people ignorant of one another’s existence, held apart by walls of hatred and lies, and yet almost exactly the same—people who had never learned to think but were storing up in their hearts and bellies and muscles the power that would one day overturn the world.”

I agree though. Natural History took a nose dive. I can’t remember when but distinctly angrily canceling that subscription. I believe it was 2001.
