Who Controls The Future "Who controls the past, controls the future: who controls the present, controls the past," is a quote from George Orwells 1984. Whoever controls the image and information of the past determines what and how future generations will think; whoever controls the information and images of the present determines how those same people will view the past." "He who controls the past commands the future. He who commands the future conquers the past. Trump supporters ignore his mis-characterization of the racism an history like his remarks on the civil war; "People don't realize, you know, the civil war, if you think about it why people don't ask that question, but why was there a civil war? He, (Andrew Jackson) saw what was happening with the civil war, he said, "there's no reason for this"". Here's the part of trump's account that is problematic . . Andrew Jackson died about 16 years before the civil war. There are more books being banned and more books being banned in bulk than ever before. Since the start of the 2022-2023 school year — July 1 through December 30, 2023 — PEN America recorded 1,477 separate instances of book bans across the country. This includes 874 unique titles in 182 school districts and 37 states. trump, an legislator like him, want to control your 's education of the past, shape the information of their present so that when they claim America has never been racist, sexist or homophobic, they believe it. |

Illinois becomes first state in U.S. to outlaw book bans in libraries. The law directs public libraries in the state to adopt or write their own versions of a library bill of rights such as the American Library Association’s, which asserts that “Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. Libraries that don’t comply could lose state funding, Governor Pritzker appeared to call out, though not by name, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida, a Republican who has staked his 2024 presidential candidacy in part on his status as a driver of conservative policies addressing cultural issues.

This is absolutely true. My ex-bosses son has a history PhD and works for a catholic affiliated university. I have read some of his papers and am appalled at what he wrote. He is pushing manifest destiny and American Exceptionalism, and a Christian Nation. It is disgusting. But the "conservative" trend. I hate to use the word conservative as I know lots of small government balanced budget conservatives that are appalled at what the trumpettes are doing. I feel for them, cause I am ok with what they say, but these anti-woke folks, I have no clue...... But you are absolutely correct! Read Walter Zinns history of America or something like that. That is real history! Not the Christian Nation history of ex-Genetal and convicted felon Flynn.
