The same is t rue of most of the ethnic leaders with whom I am familiar. And, of course, advocates of the bizarre totalitarian notion of political correctness are in the process of being laughed out of existence. But, the exceptions to the norm are startling nonethel ess, because some of them seem not to realize that the ax they use today can be turned on them tomorrow. Libraries are brimming over with centuries of truth. But, also lurking in those stacks are books filled with sexist and racist lies.
Life is filled with sexist and racist lies and our books reflect that.
But, we are not so helpless against lies that our only alternative is to kill the books that bend the truth. You answer lies. You correct them. You refute them out in the light where everyone can see and hear. You don't suppress lies.
