CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MARCH 4, 2021
IN 1983, I WROTE A BOOK CALLED “BOOK BURNING” ABOUT LIBERAL CENSORSHIP. BOOKS THAT OUTSOLD OTHER BOOKS NEVER MADE IT TO BEST SELLER LISTS BECAUSE THEY WERE CONSERVATIVE OR CHRISTIAN. BOOKS WERE PULLED OFF LIBRARY SHELVES, OR NEVER ORDERED BECAUSE OF CONSERVATIVE CONTENT.
1983 WAS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NAZI BOOK BURNING IN BERLIN. THE NAZIS DIDN’T WANT GERMANS TO KNOW THEIR HISTORY. THE THIRD REICH WOULD WRITE THEIR OWN HISTORY.
THAT’S WHAT IS SUBTLY HAPPENING IN AMERICA. IT ISN’T JUST THE PULLING OF CERTAIN DR. SEUSS BOOKS BECAUSE A FEW ELITISTS DON’T LIKE PICTURS THEY THINK ARE RACIST STEREOTYPES; IT’S WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT. REMEMBER, “HEATHER HAS TWO MOMMIES”? THE NEW YORK TIMES WROTE A PROGRAM CALLED THE “1619” PROJECT THAT MANY SCHOOLS ADOPTED. IT TEACHES KIDS TO SEE EVERYTHING THROUGH THE PRISM OF RACISM. WHEN BOB WOODSON WROTE THE 1776 PROJECT TO TEACH REAL HISTORY – WARTS AND ALL – THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ENDED IT.
FOR THE LEFT, CENSORSHIP IS GOOD WHEN THEY ARE THE CENSORS. NO WONDER DURING THE PANDEMIC SO MANY PARENTS HAVE SEEN THE BENEFIT OF HOME SCHOOLING AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
