Leftist propaganda wins again

“History appears to be being rewritten by a modern woke leftist who grew up in Canada. I was so excited to listen to a whole podcast about my heroine: a strong independent woman who believed that government should keep its nose out of our business. Unfortunately, this was a 10 part series dedicated to tearing down the book series that defined many children’s childhood enjoyment of reading. Instead of focusing on the wonderful family experiences in the series, this podcast chose to define the series as racist indoctrination and propaganda. The narrator decried Caroline Ingalls as a victim of domestic abuse by her husband Charles, who they also decided, with zero proof, was mentally ill.
And Laura’s daughter Rose was treated as a manipulative and dangerous writer. Her political views as a libertarian were considered ‘dangerous’!
The ALA decision to remove the Laura Ingalls Wilder Writers award and substitute it with the bland Children’s Literature Legacy Award was applauded.
All this because native Americans and African Americans were not depicted as they are today. In the 1880’s these depictions were relevant to the times.
Very very disappointing. Hopefully in the next century this obeisance to woke culture will be treated the same as this narrator treated a national treasure.

“I have been listening to podcasts since the aughts, and Wilder is the first one I’ve ever put on my calendar. I don’t even need to! Each Thursday I wake up eager to hear the next chapter in Glynnis’s saga of examining her (and in many cases, our) lifelong fandom in a hard, honest way. This show...”Read full review »
