I suppose because school boards and such were starting to flinch at Seuss, while Jews are more accustomed to accepting a world of relentless hostility and, with the regrettable exception of purging "jew" from the Scrabble dictionary, aren't generally complaining about how they're represented, that Shylock is not a good poster boy and such. Plus our minority card was sorta revoked by the success of Israel, so now we get to be both generally despised and yet viewed as part of the oppressive upper class.Neil Steinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468057838260476480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-5064181086090065972021-03-05T12:03:48.526-06:002021-03-05T12:03:48.526-06:00I guess I'm missing something.

Or not. There are standards in the collection that will undoubtedly still be being bought fifty years from now. Also, I personally believe that much of what is now considered "cancel culture" is what we older folks use to refer to as "consequences". Adding that the mad tearing down of statues and memorials is amazingly third world. Those things might need their historical descriptions expanded to included the bits of what is now considered offensive reality, but they speak of our history. Good, bad and ugly. History contains only the fewest number of saints. And even those might have some nagging imperfections if investigated deeply enough Diane Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06509402029731074394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-43904937272934478272021-03-05T09:21:44.073-06:002021-03-05T09:21:44.073-06:00That guy honest to God thinks "the Biden admi...That guy honest to God thinks "the Biden administration" banned Dr. Seuss's books? <br /><br />There's just no fighting aggressive stupidity, especially when it's egged on by the leading cable news network.Bitter Scribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04645909858616987997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-63137902350638742912021-03-05T04:46:28.983-06:002021-03-05T04:46:28.983-06:00Amen.Amen.Paul Fedrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384556977324071639noreply@blogger.com
