Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Tuesday hailed the new Broadway play "To Kill a Mockingbird" as a call for decency.

Liberals have long cited "To Kill a Mockingbird" as a great work of fiction. It's required reading in many schools.
I have often wondered why liberal Democrats didn't see this as a warning about lynching an innocent man without evidence as they often do.
Apparently it's not about false accusation against an innocent man, vengeance, and, mob justice.
It's about decency.
I wonder what they take from the play, 'The Crucible'. Is it 'we have to believe women'?
Because nothing says “decency” like chopping up a million unborn babies a year.
All the see is race in the pre civil rights era in the South.
Time is frozen for them.
So falsely accusing a white man is ok in their book.
as long as the white man is a conservative.
Pelosi lecturing us about how wonderful Decency is
is like
Pelosi lecturing the Pope about how wonderful Abortion is
oh yeah, she did that, too
California is soooooooooooooooo screwed up!
What is decent and civil about destroying people’s lives with a pack of lies? There is NOTHING decent and civil about today’s Rat party
Yes,it was about decency.And it was also about false accusations made by delusional pigs.
That play is more than two generations old. Where was her outspoken behavior then? Oh, I forgot. That was when she was prepping to become Miss California Car Wash.
More than anything else, the book is about a loss of innocence, a coming-of-age. Yes, it’s set against a backdrop of Jim Crow racism, but it really isn’t a novel about race as much as it is about childhood’s end.
The “Boo”-geymen in this world aren’t who you think they are.
In the book the little girl (Scout) stops a lynching by appealing to the human side of the mob leaders. Today’s leftist mobs would crush Scout on their way to lynch Robinson and his lawyer and the media would happily cheer them on.
From Wikipedia (explains why Pelosi thinks Aaron Sorkin is a genius):
Sorkin married Julia Bingham in 1996 and divorced in 2005, with his workaholic habits and drug abuse reported to be a partial cause.[130][131] Sorkin and Bingham have one daughter, Roxy.[132] Sorkin was a dependent cocaine user for many years and, after a highly publicized arrest in 2001, he received treatment in a drug diversion program.[13]
For several years, he dated Kristin Chenoweth, who played Annabeth Schott on The West Wing (though after Sorkin had left the show).[133] He has also reportedly dated columnist Maureen Dowd[134] and actress Kristin Davis.[135]
A consistent supporter of the Democratic Party, Sorkin has made substantial political campaign contributions to candidates between 1999 and 2011, according to CampaignMoney.com.[136] During the 2004 US presidential election campaign, the liberal advocacy group MoveOn’s political action committee enlisted Sorkin and Rob Reiner to create one of their anti-Bush campaign advertisements.[137] In August 2008, Sorkin was involved in a Generation Obama event at the Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills, California, participating in a panel discussion subsequent to a screening of Frank Capra’s Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.[138] Despite this Sorkin does not consider himself a political activist: “I’ve met political activists, and they’re for real. I’ve never marched anyplace or done anything that takes more effort than writing a check in terms of activism”.[70]
In 1987, Sorkin started using marijuana and cocaine. He has said that in cocaine he found a drug that gave him relief from certain nervous tensions he deals with on a regular basis.[8] In 1995, he checked into rehab at the Hazelden Institute in Minnesota, on the advice of his then girlfriend and soon to be wife Julia Bingham, to try to beat his addiction to cocaine.[139] In 2001, Sorkin along with colleagues John Spencer and Martin Sheen received the Phoenix Rising Award for their personal victories over substance abuse. However, two months later on April 15, 2001, Sorkin was arrested when guards at a security checkpoint at the Burbank Airport found hallucinogenic mushrooms, marijuana, and crack cocaine in his carry-on bag when a metal crack pipe set off the gate’s metal detector.[8][140] He was ordered to a drug diversion program.[62]
Sorkin continued working on The West Wing amidst his drug abuse.[130][131] In his commencement speech for Syracuse University on May 13, 2012, Sorkin declared that he had not used cocaine for eleven years.[141]
In 2016, after the election of Donald Trump, Sorkin wrote an open letter to his 15-year-old daughter Roxy and her mother Julia Sorkin.[142]
The rats see Mockingbird as an indictment of Southern (and conservative) bigotry. They identify with the good people in the story who continue the narrative of racial oppression to this day.
The Crucible is to them an example of of the Christian bigotry infesting society.
Anyone remember when Hillary Clinton claimed that the message of Orwell’s 1984 is that people should trust political leaders and the press? Talk about a cock-eyed misreading! (as if she actually ever read it)
You wonder the lady Scout grew up to be ...
And in some states ruled by (D)’s even after they’ve survived.
Decency? You mean like the decency displayed during the Kavenaugh hearings? That kind of decency?
I’ve always thought that the story was about Boo Radley, the unknown, unappreciated, protector of the children and neighbors. He was a metaphor for the great silent majority, still extant in our own time. He [they] will be there when the time comes. . . .
And the later the better cuz you can get more money for the fully developed “parts.”
Yep!
Nailed It!
These Scholars Have Been Pointing Out Atticus Finch’s Racism for Years:
To Kill a Mockingbird is a fictional story. It is not really about Tom Robinson. It is about a little girl growing up.
The character that most represents the “politeness” of Pelosi’s party is Bob Ewell. Used blacks (and others) as a scapegoat for his own failures. Was nasty, vindictive, lying, violent, drunk who had no conscience when it came to hurting and killing children.
Even the lynch mob in the story retreated when they saw the children come to the jailhouse and were able to empathize with Atticus as a father. They backed off and left. But Ewell had no such sense of right and wrong when came to harming children.
It’s just like the Democrats. They have no conscience about killing babies or exposing children to the most vile perversions. They demand to be allowed to force this on society and for all of us to pay for it.
Oh, and Bob Ewell lived off of government welfare because he either did not want to work, or his alcoholism and poor character made it impossible—maybe both.
Pelosi and her party have no decency.
