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.

The liberals, progressives, democrats are calling for bans on Little House on the Prairie, Dr Seuss, Mark Twain among others. Clean up your own house before you criticize conservatives for their opinions. Children are not allowed to have alcohol or cigarettes because adults feel they aren't ready to make that decision for themselves. You want to poison the kids minds so they'll be more receptive of your liberal theories.

Does anyone really think they can change a country's history or let it be forgotten? Hmm...It's all true and it happened! Of course it is also documented, not only in the USA, but also in all other countries that took part... and of course by all historians in the world! All of these books weren't just published in the US...and they're stored somewhere....and they'll stay that way.... A ban only arouses curiosity... At what age were we when we smoked our first cigarette, drank our first alcohol or "enjoyed" the first pornographic depictions? Was there slavery? Yes! Was and is there racism? Yes! Have the indigenous peoples been (almost) wiped out? Yes! Were there German concentration camps? Yes! Were millions of Jews murdered there? Yes!!! These are just a few examples.... History will never forget anything....
