None of her detractors could write anything as interesting as she did, and she did not start writing until of retirement age.

Mark Twain will probably be next. Liberals are trying in every way possible to rewrite history, just as their idols in the Stalinist regime did.

Years ago, I remember thinking how soon it would be before Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn would be complained about. It happened a few years back.

Some people must have nothing better to do with their time.

you can contact the American Library Association via email: ala@ala.org I sent the following Orwell quote, and asked when the ritual book burning will take place: “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 (I didn't get any response, but if they get enough similar emails, they'll get the message.) ​

The is the product of group Woman think. This is why women on the left are extremely detrimental and dangerous to society. The library system along with education is one of the first institutions the left successfully attacked on the quest to rot out America. The left is a mix of Nazis,Soviets and the Taliban.

"complexity" of the issue

Nope.

Simple issue.

Either you are book-burning Nazi censor or you are not.

Ayn Rand will be next. Watch some libs will call for her books to be banned because it promotes “greedy” capitalism or something.

I grew up reading the Little House books (and the tv series too). I’m appalled that these people have no historical context when it comes to denouncing authors in the guise of “political correctness”. But then, these people are all about erasing history, aren’t they?

Winston Smith’s job in “1984” was continually revising history to match Big Brother’s current positions: “This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, soundtracks, cartoons, photographs—to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance.”

The political Left is taking George Orwell’s work as a blueprint rather than a warning. “If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.”

Book burning and marshmallow roast coming next.

“Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”
George Orwell, 1984

“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

“Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.”
George Orwell, 1984

“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”
George Orwell, 1984

1984

“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”
