I have offered a possible solution as well. Lynda<br /> <br />From: Lynda Sanchez<br />Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2018 5:37 PM<br />Subject: Fw: Capitan Public Library Blog<br /> <br />Here we go again. They look only through the lense of current history, not the past or the times in which people lived. While I do agree that some of those things should not have been written by the author, I believe it could be a teachable moment in time to explain how many attitudes have changed and some have even gone too far as in being PC in this situation . Soooo, as an individual who writes about Native Americans and their history, I can see this group's side but they have put their tail between their legs and run into a corner. They need to be more creative. Should we ban Twain and Uncle Tom's Cabin, Gone with the Wind, and some other great literature because they use the word nigger, or papoose or squaw? I don't think so. <br /> <br />With future editions of the books they could add an explanatory foreword explaining to new readers what history has taught us, and that we understand today this is not the right thing to do, but neither is it right to keep children from reading the material. There are family values, community values of working together, and also respect and discipline for families and society that we are surely missing today. <br /> <br />We go too far in my opinion. I know I am preaching to the choir, but what is next, the Bible? or perhaps the Encyclopedia Britannica, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Zane Grey, anything pre 2000? geez. <br /> <br />Lynda<br /> Sharon @ the libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02488419460802816763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703590817268416997.post-33687003768205948712017-03-02T08:30:21.737-08:002017-03-02T08:30:21.737-08:00Hooray! for March 2nd!
