PC nonsense. A nation of wimps and gimps!

Yep. This is absolutely deplorable.

It's a slippery slope for sure, and it's only going to open the way for further censoring of historical idioms that have faded and are no longer politically correct.

What a bunch of garbage. This is like when people cry to have The Three Stooges not shown on tv cause of the violence. I grew up watching Moe, Larry and Curly and not once did I run a saw across my brothers head or hit him with a hammer.
Mark Twain wrote what he did cause this was the time he lived in. I guess he was ahead of his time then cause he would say "You tell me whar a man gits his corn pone, en I’ll tell you what his ‘pinions is."

The Black Communities Response To The Attempted Changes To The Book...

[Hoggage_54]

Literature is art, and art is a reflection of the time it was created... changing art is changing the past. Much of what we know about the past comes from art, so changing the past to be reflective of today is nonsense.

This reminds me of The Simpsons episode when the PC police were up in arms about the statue of David coming to Springfield because it was a work of art of a naked man.
