First the statues fell to the ground. Then pronouns took a hit. Next it was see ya Muppets, and now Dr. Seuss is going, going, gone. Good thing Dr. Max, Mombo, Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans are off the air today. Can you imagine the damage they were doing to those of us living in the 60s and 70s? And now the woke culture is aggressively attacking professional, college and high school nicknames and mascots. Sorry to see the Marion school district capitulate to this woke culture. The big question is 'What goes next?” Our history, the good, the bad and the ugly, is our history. Think about it. What is the next part of our society and history that will bite the dust. At what point will we say 'enough is enough?”
