My cousin twice removed, Adrian Scott, was a screenwriter and one of the Hollywood Ten. He was blacklisted for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). He was a lefty.
I never knew him and wasn’t around for it, but I imagine that the thing that made the “Red Scare” scary was that you didn’t know when the finger of accusation was going to point at you and blow up your life. That must be what it is like to be a teacher nowadays.
A Media Matters review of Raichik’s Twitter account found that Libs of TikTok has tagged or named at least 222 schools, education organizations, or school system employees in 2022, often directing users to harass an individual school district or teacher. In the last week alone, the account has targeted a school district, a middle school, and four teachers for teaching students about identity, sexuality, or other so-called “propaganda.”

Do the language police recognize your right to remain silent?
There are no language police. Fake concept. Sorry if this was unclear.
It was a joke. Sorry if this was unclear.
I googled excessive language policing and got this: Manholes in Berkeley Will Now Be Called ‘Maintenance Holes’
