The “children” need to know that there is no “bad” in the world.
Other than white Anglo-Saxon males, of course.

Well, I always had this running joke online during the pre-internet years of the late 80's that Barney the Dinosaur only needed a spigot attached to his purple hulk so that we can tap much needed crude oil out of his body ....... got plenty of flak from the PC folks on that one. /laughs
So much for "its for the children"! /chuckle

I think I’ll start grabbing up non-PC books. Someday they’ll be worth a great deal of money...maybe. That is if they don’t confiscate them from us.

This is merely one more avenue by which the Left seeks to create dependency upon Government....protecting The Children from any slight danger posed by Reality and insulate them in a cocoon of lies. and....

That is if they dont confiscate them from us.I'm surprised that Ernest Hemingway hasn't been banned yet.....tales of hard drinking, going to bullfights and ravaging vivacious, sultry and enthusiastic women under the hot sun simply can't be permitted in an "enlightened" society.

/sigh, oh well.If it included pictures that were suitably graphic and explicit and suggested that this activity provided a link to homosexual behavior, it would most likely not only be well-received, but it would win numerous literary awards as well.

So does this mean I can't look forward to a new edition of "Das Struwwelpeter" anytime soon?I have vivid memories of that poem and picture from when I was a very, very young stoat....you probably couldn't get that published at all nowadays.

It should be just a misdemeanor to shoot some some people ...and in some cases, it should be considered a public service, resulting in a free gift card.
Most of our problems would disappear, if citizens were allowed one free shot during their lifetime.

Scott Adams got ahead of the curve on this one in the Dilbert cartoons Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light merely darns people to heck.

Phil, The Prince of Insufficient Light, is the ruler of Heck (for sinners whose transgressions aren't serious enough for Hell). He pops up about once a year to impose mild sanctions for mild sins. For example, once he punished Dilbert by making him eat lunch with the accountants.

This is PC madness pure and simple. Children being fed a non-stop diet of mental Pablum like this will not be fit to run a lemonade stand let alone inherit the country from us.
