Russian author Dostoyevsky predicted political correctness and today's new puritans:
In short, one may say anything about the history of the world—anything that might enter the most disordered imagination. The only thing one can’t say is that it’s rational. The very word sticks in one’s throat. And, indeed, this is the odd thing that is continually happening: there are continually turning up in life moral and rational persons, sages and lovers of humanity who make it their object to live all their lives as morally and rationally as possible, to be, so to speak, a light to their neighbours simply in order to show them that it is possible to live morally and rationally in this world.

'Teachers from Mariner High, the other high school in the district fought back and defended the novel claiming that it was a good book for students to learn about the history of race in America.'
Of course it is good to learn about prejudice, the more education about it, the more chance you have to change it. However, these morons are so thick to realise that.

Well he was, but it got him nailed to a cross. If he was around today, he would have supported Tommy Robinson, Kate Hopkins, Carl Benjamin and Dan Wootton.

That’s so nice of you to share the one Christmas card you got. Hope Santa brought you the new joke book you so desperately need?

They’d have hated him if he was around today. He’d be such a little do-gooder……..
