Censorship and Suppressed Expression are Now Liberal Values

It's weird, isn't it?  I guess "free-thinking" does eventually devolve into a kind of moral fascism.  Certainly, that's the case in mainstream Protestantism these days. 

“Mark Twain was racist!”

“Robert Heinlein was sexist!”

 “Jane Austin supported the patriarchy!”

“Dickens was a … he’s just boring.”

If all you read of Dickens is Bleak House or Ye Old Curiosity Shop then I’ll grant the last one. But otherwise, demands that people not read certain books because they do not meet the standards of the last five minutes serves as an example of the painful presentism of the modern censors and regulators of moral purity.
