To: a fool in paradise
Wasn’t To Kill a Mockingbird part of the old anti-racism curriculum?

Yes, it was a fixture in the liberal literary canon prior to the age of wokeness. Incidentally, I read it for the first time about five years ago.

It's also surprising to see The Crucible being purged from the liberal literary canon. It must not be woke enough.

The Left is okay with witchhunting and guilt by association and false witness. They don’t like the prosecution and blacklisting of Communists.

Oh, it’s not that. It’s just that the left is running the witch hunts now, so the narrative has become “problematic” for them.
