Summary

The website content expresses concern over the modern practice of altering historical texts and educational content, equating it to an act of greed and a disservice to history and humanity.

Abstract

The author of the website content argues that language is a fundamental aspect of human communication and history, and altering the words of past generations is akin to destroying historical monuments. The piece criticizes literary executors, editors, and school systems for changing original works, suggesting that such actions are driven by greed rather than respect for the original authors' intentions. The author references an article by Melissa Gouty, which questions the ethics of editing works of deceased authors for modern audiences. The content also touches on broader issues of educational and historical censorship, including the manipulation of the periodic table of elements and the suppression of information about climate change and current events. The author believes that these acts of editing are part of a systematic dismantling of truth in education, leading to a loss of integrity and understanding of the world.

Opinions

  • The author views the alteration of historical texts and educational content as an act of greed and a form of censorship.
  • Editors who change previously published works of dead authors are seen as lacking respect for history and are accused of altering historical records for profit.
  • There is a strong opposition to the idea that modern sensibilities should dictate changes to historical works, likening it to tearing down monuments.
  • The author suggests that the Department of Education is complicit in a systematic approach to misinform and manipulate the educational content provided to students.
  • The piece criticizes the current state of education, which it claims is riddled with lies and omissions, leading to the behavior of recent generations.
  • The author points to the suppression of free speech and the targeting of individuals, like Sherronna Bishop, who advocate for transparency in educational materials.
  • The content implies that the education system pays lip service to foundational documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, while not adhering to their principles in practice.
  • The author is critical of the teaching of Critical Race Theory and the perceived censorship of opposing viewpoints, as exemplified by the blocking of Senator Cotton's inquiry into its teaching in the DOD.
  • The author believes that the current era is characterized by an attempt to "edit" the reality that individuals perceive, leading to a homogenized and controlled populace.

OPINION OF AN INDEPENDENT

Words Make Language

Language Creates Communication; when written, it becomes a part of the History of Humanity. Changing words of old works is like tearing down monuments because “we don’t like them” (then this becomes the privilege of ignorant kids today).

Who has given the authority to literary executors, editors, and SCHOOL SYSTEMS to change the writing of past generations?

Editors Are Ignorant Today

Melissa Gouty wrote a piece on medium.com titled “How Brave Are You? Does Being An Editor Now Mean Altering History?” It was written in a style and language I wish I had. I admire her strong phrasing that “communicated” the ire she felt for the lack of respect editors have today.

She asked: “Is it brave — or arrogant — to edit previously published works of dead authors to sell more of their books now?”

Let the tablet diggers in the Middle East desert “Edit” the cuneiform letters written by who knows, for who knows what reason? How about the words written on the walls of pyramids? or the pornographic paintings of the ancient world brothels in Pompeii?

Who and how do we determine the way the world progresses? Typically, by not “Editing” the past.

Apparently, Editors say they know best! “They CAN! And, what is worse, they are doing it and getting away with it. I would say:

Why? — There is only one reason: GREED!

The CYA for some editors is to say, “We consulted with the heir of the author, and he/she/they (who knows?) agreed!” It is still GREED!

Denying this today is like saying,

  1. “The Periodic Table of Elements is not acceptable for our morals; it leads to educating people with enough knowledge to make explosives.” It could be an example of what The 4th branch Department of Education says.
  2. Worse yet, no more studying the history of the Earth; it leads people to find out that Earth goes through extreme climate cycles that people can’t stop!
  3. The Media TODAY — “America Media Blackout As 120K Christians Forcibly Starved.” Why don’t we know this from a newspaper? They THINK they are the “EDITORS” of what WE think. This is about HUMANITY.

Example for Item 1. We find elements we could not find before. Elements like Tellurium. The latest:

Webb observed an exceptionally bright gamma-ray burst, GRB 230307A, and identified the neutron star merger that generated an explosion that created the burst. Acknowledgment To — The NASA James Webb Space Telescope, developed in partnership with ESA and CSA, is operated by AURA’s Space Telescope Science Institute. Public Domain.

“From-NASA’s Webb Makes First Detection of Heavy Element from Star Merger: Other elements near tellurium on the periodic table — like iodine, which is needed for much of life on Earth — are also likely to be present among the kilonova’s ejected material. A kilonova is an explosion produced by a neutron star merging with either a black hole or with another neutron star.”

“‘Just over 150 years since Dmitri Mendeleev wrote down the periodic table of elements, we are now finally in the position to start filling in those last blanks of understanding where everything was made, thanks to Webb,’ said Andrew Levan of Radboud University in the Netherlands and the University of Warwick in the UK, lead author of the study.”

What can Editors do with that? There is no GREED here. So, who cares? Right? Please understand that this is an example of things that ALREADY exist as they are, “who are we to ignore their existence? We happen to be in charge of our children. But who had them most of the day every day during their formative years?

I suggest the last few generations were stolen from us by an uberly progressive “Department of Education System (DOE).”

Why do I call it a System? only because they “systematically dismantled the TRUTH in education, with LIES (intentional or by omission) that led to the behavior of the last few “younger” generations.

The Education “System” from the point of view of “us” parents, behaves just like the government vis-a-vis the “Declaration of Independence and the Constitution,” they give lip service; otherwise, “out of sight, out of mind.”

All “Parents,” as far as they are concerned, are just like Sherronna Bishop. A perfect example:

Sherronna Bishop’s First Amendment Rights were mugged by the FBI (ordered by the DOJ). A school Mom who is proactive about what materials are acceptable to teach children in their schools was totally abused as if she were a common criminal at her home, with her husband and two children present. They knocked her front door down, apprehended her, put her in handcuffs out in the street, and kept her there in her pajamas for 30 minutes on a cold day in Grand Junction, Colorado, for ALL to see and intimidate. Her daughter had to call a lawyer because they took her phone away as evidence. You can watch her story here. This is one serious Human Being who knows how to stand up to abuse, to talk with courage, as she did in that interview.

Critical Race Theory is everywhere these days, Senator Cotton confronted the DOD about teaching the Critical Race Theory to the recruits. I googled “Is the DOD teaching critical race theory.” Among the results (many from media that gags itself from the truth, there was this one:

A Snag of my browser listing of responses from the search titled above

As it can be seen, I clicked on it, and got this response:

A Snag from my browser failure to open The hot link from www.cotton.senate.gov shown above.

A “White-Wash” to say the list — Senator Cotton was gagged on the subject.

ENOUGH!

America as a whole is living in an epoch of “EDITING” the reality EACH ONE OF US SEES!
