Has Cancel Culture Jumped the Shark Yet?

No longer satisfied with just destroying statues, monuments, and symbols of America's past, the Leftist malcontents who are eradicating history based on their holier-than-thou judgementalism and undeserved sense of moral superiority are now throwing award-winning children's books into their bonfire.

Remember the Dr. Seuss book "The Sneetches"? It was the story about the star-bellied sneetches and the blank-bellied sneetches. And the moral of the story was that WHAT PEOPLE (or in that case, sneetches) LOOK LIKE DOESN'T AFFECT WHO THEY ARE. It was a message that we should all treat everyone equally. What could possibly be wrong with that?

Well, the Leftist cultural fascists at the Southern Poverty Law Center, through their "Learning For Justice" program, believe The Sneetches is racist because, although it promotes a message of "acceptance," it "does not acknowledge structural power imbalances. It doesn’t address the idea that historical narratives impact present-day power structures. And instead of encouraging young readers to recognize and take action against injustice, the story promotes a race-neutral approach." So apparently, the SPLC does not value a race-neutral society. It's disgraceful.

I understand this position is so absurd that it would be easy to dismiss that as a parody or satire. But I assure you, it is completely true. You can read about it at https://www.learningforjustice.org/magazine/its-time-to-talk-about-dr-seuss

Note that that link does not go to a third-party story about the SPLC's position. It takes you directly to the SPLC's Learning For Justice page where their unfiltered lunacy is on full display.

When will this madness stop???
