Apparently the progs over at Google didn’t get the memo.

She got a doodle a couple of years ago.

Remember. This is what they deem worthy of honoring.



It's just a comedy of idiocy and delusion now.

The silence from Progressives on this board speaks volumes. Your movement has nothing to do with liberalism in a classical sense. It is a Fascist one.

Apparently there are two versions of Little House on the Prairie: the original and the revised.
Our library has both, but the revised don't seem to be as popular.

Can we not read To Kill a Mockingbird anymore because of the references to racism?

No, they made her write a "sequel" that reveals Atticus to be a super racist, not the "good one" he was previously thought to be.

Was laughing about that just the other day. They put up one just outside NASA in Clear Lake City, TX back in the early 70s - complete with scenes of gaudily dressed Tigers chasing each other around in a circle, and a black youngster watching.

It didn't last long.

Were you in Houston back then? I am beginning to think it was mid-70s or later that they opened it at NASA. Still, didn't last long.

My wife went to Clear Lake HS.

Sambo's was way before even her parents' time there (they moved from the east coast), but some of the locals there still talk about/remember it :lol

The TV show had no such references at all, from my recollection.


They would be upset at the episode where the grifters come to town, and Reverend Alden gets in their face and makes them leave town and only take what they brought in. After all, they were entitled!

The left uses racism/bigotry as a way to erase history and culture.

Every totalitarian regime in history eventually did some form of book burnings and such.
