Anti-KKK Book Banned by Thought Police
Just how far does the Left want to take the brand of totalitarian thought control euphemistically called "political correctness"? A story from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis offers a clue:
Keith Sampson, a janitor and part-time student at IUPUI brought the book Notre Dame vs. the Klan: How the Fighting Irish Defeated the Ku Klux Klan by Todd Tucker to work. Black coworkers disapproved; apparently they couldn't be bothered to read the whole title, but saw the words Ku Klux Klan and wanted it banned. The school's Affirmative Action Office shared their point of view.
Sampson received a menacing letter from the Thought Police [PDF], chastising him for showing "extremely poor judgment" and reminding him that if he is ever caught reading the book in the presence of his coworkers, he could be subject to "serious disciplinary action."
How long before Tucker's book is removed from libraries because blacks decide it's "offensive"? What will be the next topic we are forbidden from even reading about?
On a tip from wz.

Yes, by all means, let's make sure nobody learns anything about the klan or nazis or any other nasty movements.
Sometimes when people come into my house and see all the books about Nazis, communism and Islam etc on the shelf, they ask if I'm "into" Naziism, or if I'm a muslim. Of course, the answer is "no". I read about that filth because I'm definitely not "into" it.

Those who do not know about history or remember it, will probably repeat it.

I think we're well on the way to that Dwaine. They're coming for the You Tube videos first.

Maybe this would be better entertainment:

Must be the "militant wing" of Palestinian childrens' programming.
If we just sell out the Jews maybe they will pretend to hate us a little less for a while.

The Affirmative Action Office was obviously niggardly in its investigation.

It is again proven that 'liberal thought' is an oxymoron.

You can add "liberal reading comprehension" as well.

Know thy enemy... who said that anyway????
According to The Art of War, by Sun Tzu
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."
Pearl Harbor and 9/11 happened because we didn't look closely enough at those who would threaten us. We went into "la la denial land".
