“At first, I loved everything about this because I have always wanted to travel to the sites of the little houses, but the overwhelming left wing slant is absolutely disgusting in the end. We cannot take a book written in the 1930s and try to impose our understanding, even if our understanding is right on the values or beliefs that were predominant in the country at the time. Laura had every right to write whatever she wanted, and her mother had every right to fear native Americans and the unknown in general. Being upset and angry and complaining for hours about it will not change what is written and these books just like any other book ever written should not be vilified or taken away from the public. They are windows into the true feelings and thoughts that a lot of people had in a significant part of American history, and even today there is nothing wrong with the idea of American exceptionalism because no other country has achieved what America has achieved. You don’t have to like it, but it is a fact.”
