Homer’s “The Odyssey” has apparently been removed from a school curriculum in Massachusetts because of its alleged racism and sexism. Also being targeted by other leftists is Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter” and the works of Shakespeare. The stupidity of political correctness ends the year that saw the eruption of violence throughout America and the destruction of statues of historical figures (including abolitionists).
Ideological lunatics control both the Universities as well as the public schools and it appears the time has come for the classics to take a beating. I happen to have received a membership card to join the Republican Party. I have hesitated to make a decision on the grounds that there is much about the Republican Party that I do not agree with. Neo-conservatives and “Christian” Zionists are elements of the Party that are not trustworthy.
Yet, the stupidity of political correctness and the insanity of the political left leaves one with no sensible choice other than to join and support the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is the party of the neo-pagans who support the gay, lesbian, and transgender ideology. It is also the party whose constituency believes in defunding (or outright abolishing) the Police.
The Trump administration was great because for the most part it stood in opposition to both the political correctness of the Democrats and to the worst elements of the Republicans (neo-cons). Now a decision has to be made. At least for the short term, I will be going along with the Republicans with the hope and possibility that the America first agenda of Donald Trump will have taken hold in the Republican Party and that the neocons can be kept in check.
The political left is completely insane and its agenda is aimed directly at the overthrow of Christianity, democracy, and all aspects of culture. Let it not be forgotten that the 2020 elections were conducted under the threat of riots and mass disturbances. The Democratic Party is the party of Marxism, neo-paganism, and censorship.
There is a teacher in that school in Massachusetts that is actually taking credit for being responsible for the removal of Homer’s “The Odyssey” from her school. She openly said that she is proud of this deed. Does anyone really need to guess her party affiliation or which political candidate she voted for in the 2020 Presidential elections?

The public school system as it once existed in this country is doomed, the Leftists have dumbed it down to the point where you no longer have confidence in the products they put out. The downfall started in the 1960’s and the quality of education has deteriorated since then. They know all about PC, but not much else. Discerning parents put their kids in private education today.
Are the privates schools really much better? Look at the universities and colleges which have produced antifa and black lives matter? I suspect the private schools have also gone the way of the public schools.
There are still good private schools around, but you have to be selective. At the college level they have conservative Hillsdale College only a stones throw from here, it’s known as the ‘conservative Harvard’ in some circles.
