There is something deeply disturbing about what’s happening to the freedom to choose what to think, what to read, whom to love, what we do with our own bodies, and even who we will decide to be. We need to support the critical fight of these parents, librarians and all people who believe that allowing yourself to be exposed to different opinions and beliefs is not toxic and will not poison minds. The deepest fear that book banners, homophobes and misogynists share is the terrifying possibility that reading and thinking might lead to questioning, or even challenging, long-held biases!

–From a letter to the editor by Nancy Kohl, The New York Times, May 25, 2023.

    I 100% agree with Nancy Kohl’s article. The freedom to question “norms,” to seek answers and make personal decisions ( that Constitutional “ pursuit of happiness thing” conservatives have forgotten, and thrown out the window recently)….was what the American vision of a free self governing Democracy stood for…..until now!

    Being told what to think, openly say ( or not say), what to read ( or not read), who to love, is NOT what this country was founded upon. Those were the life restrictions of other dictatorships, people were escaping from to come to America….the so called “Land of the Free.” What happened?!?

    I’m seriously concerned for my children and grandchildren, if these personal FREEDOMS are restricted any further in the name of politics, religion, or “normalcy.”

    Joe D’s comment prompts me to once again comment on a several year-old Putin interview with a Financial Times reporter, during which he stated that “liberalism” had become “obsolete.” Putin went on to state that “happiness must not be allowed to overshadow the culture, traditions and traditional values of millions of people making up the core population.”

    Personal freedoms, the pursuit of happiness, individual rights? Hallmarks of our experiment with a liberal democratic Constitutional republic. Not so in a tyrannical autocracy.
