Outlawing the teaching of history? Is this some widespread attempt? Really? How so?

Or I guess I should say: They are one catalyst for the current right-wing freak-out and attendant attempts at censorship and outlawing teaching accurate US history.

Massive successful attempts of censorship are coming from the left now, big time. The right has to create its own internet platforms now if it wants to reach the masses.

And "accurate US history" is an interesting locution. Would you consider books that comment on US history by Thomas Sowell to be "accurate"? They give a different picture than that painted by Critical Race Theorists.

Now the right is doubling down on these long-standing impulses toward censorship and anti-intellectualism.

Is an "impulse toward censorship" some constant and indiscriminate urge by all on "the right"? Or do some on "the right" at various times succumb to this "impulse"?

And is "the right" teeming with those (anti-intellectuals) who have long-standingly deprecated education, philosophy, art, literature, and science? I don't know anybody on "the right" who have a "long-standing impulse" to do so.
