Subject: RE: BS: Historic tour slave issue
I retired some 17 years ago, so "what, me worry?" Don't mean to be flip, but I was happy in my job and am happy in my retirement.
I started out in a right to work state. and was transferred to one without it. The only difference I could see is that the union set the vacation days in the second (same number of days, just moved around a bit).

The above has nothing to do with the subject of this thread, which seems to be just repeating itself. No, we can't change the past. Society has moved on. The political correctness trend seems to try to get everything painted black or white, subjugating history to a "just so" interpretation.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, our greatest Supreme Court jurist, ruled in 1919 that the First Amendment protected all speech, however offensive, but we are seeing several groups trying to limit that right, and demonizing those with whom they disagree. Some of the "politically correct" trends bear the seeds of fascism.
