[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been a couple recent and we'll publicized biographies of Laura Ingalls Wilder depicting her as an awful person as well as a politically active racist, and showing that almost nothing in the Little House series was true. I suspect that had some influence on the decision, even if they aren't saying it. "Author depicts lived experience in a way we now dislike" is different from "Manipulative, racist crank wrote fiction that is racist." The current view is the latter. [/quote] If you want to find the flaws in any political figure from nearly a century or even 20, 30 years ago and craft it so that they are offensive by today's standards, it is quite easy to do. Even MLK. Even Mother Theresa. It would not take intellect or academic prowness to accomplish this. [/quote]
