…they suffer and lash out at those who stand in the way.
In this case, parents who don’t want to subsidize literature they object to are the enemy. Since the left needs their enemies to be all-powerful to make their David and Goliath narrative work, this group of people is presented as part of a larger group of homogenous haters of freedom that can only be stopped from ruining things through constant vigilance and self-righteous blog posts.
Perhaps the most demoralizing part of all of this is seeing what kinds of books have pushed actual literature off of school reading lists. Do young Americans still read Fitzgerald? Or what about Solzhenitsyn? He endured and then wrote about war, Stalin’s death camps, actual censorship, and exile. That he suffered more, and complained less, than our compulsively unhappy social justice warriors speaks volumes about the quality of the latter.
