Printing a new history book is different then changing the old ones. They still exist unless they were burned or buried in a landfill somewhere.
You still can search libraries, used book stores, ebay, garage sales, etc looking for history books of real history not “PC” history.
However, anything electronic can easily be change or manipulated. Nobody can log into a 1950’s history book and change the information.
You got it.
Who cares what the Leftist Government Babysitters are telling their Children while they get some quality alone time. LOL

Good luck finding one.
The trophies, like family photos, if they are destroyed in some disaster, they cannot be replaced...............
Actually there are women participating in just about every curling tournament that comes on my TV.
A lot of the young women who curl are rather attractive to boot.
Books are everywhere, collectors, ebay, amazon, garage sales, libraries.
Just because it isn’t convenient, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
The Internet is convenient and google/Wikipedia is easy to use so those are the areas that can be easily manipulated.
Coyotes the real ones are taking over my county ! Marin CA
I see at least one on every ride now and if I’m ever out just after dark the howling the whining is amazing
Plus the prices go high enough to discourage any but the serious, and they won’t buy more than one copy.
I think the public libraries, or at least the FRIENDS of the public libraries have a huge scam going. A library will no longer check out books that have significantly appreciated in price, so where do they go?
IMO, to the “Friends of the Library” folks.
I am certain the same has happened at my old school to sports trophies dating back 70+ years and likely the plaque I earned for a US Navy science fair award some 50 years ago as well. Quite frankly no one really cares after that much time. Those for whom some of these old trophies might have been significant may well be deceased, no longer live in the community or even are a distant memory for anyone. At an all school reunion I attended a few years ago, the cheer leading squad who won a state championship decades before lead a school cheer... kind of sad to see middle aged women trying to do their old cheer leading moves as if this state title was the most significant thing they had accomplished in their lives.
Think it depends on how the school is viewed, i.e. a cherished community institution vs. an obligatory pit-stop on the way to college.
If it’s the former, trophies dating back decades suggests a long history of success to be proud of, and perhaps gives the student pride in knowing he/she is a part of something bigger.
Thinking of my Brother-In-Law, he has trophies at his school dating back to the 80’s. It’s the same school his daughter would attend years later, and walk by her Dad’s trophies each day.
I will amend my comment;

Good luck finding one......in a school or public library.
Obviously, none of those were participation trophies.
Print is dead.
I wished sometimes.
It can be important as it tells a story about the history of a school and its students. At the very least, offer them to the families, or see if a local library will take.
Thanks for posting this - best comment on the thread.
What do you do with decades of crappy plastic pieces?
i pulled the faceplates off ours, and kept that and threw out the silly trophies, but kept the wood bases because it was nice wood.
Storing these trophy things is a pain.
Yep. The go from the main trophy case, to a less prominent trophy case, then in boxes in a storage room until they are given away or tossed. Alternatively, the former coach takes one to remember his/her glory days.
