3. So true... reminds me of some parent meetings I've attended with book burner types.

Dec 2011

Most of the people in the room were stunned by
ignorance of a certain woman who was raging against
the fact that her daughter was being asked to read
"The Color Purple."

Her rage controlled the room, for a short time
and I actually thought the group was going to go along
with her demand that the book be removed from the
reading list.

Fortunately, rational people prevailed in that situation,
but her rant definitely commandeered the situation for a period of time.
Bullies are quite good at that type of control.
And she was a BULLY.
Just like so many of our
Republican citizens are these days.
