[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your explanation is a severe exaggeration. All they did was remove her name from the award as a result of some racist language that was consistent with the language of the era when the books were written (1930s), but inappropriate today, especially since the books are nonfiction. In no way has she been "purged as an author". The ALA has made it very clear that they still encourage people to read and discuss the books as an important part of American history.

This is the first step.

They have sullied her name as something to be ashamed of, hidden away. They have implied that she is a racist, including retroactively removing he name from all the Wilder Awards already given [b]including the first award that was given to Laura Ingalls Wilder[/b]

[b]This is clearly a purging of history.[/b][/quote]
Oh please! Let me know when the portions of the books in the library have been redacted with black Sharpie. What do you care about some literary award that you have never heard of before today?[/quote]
