Perhaps the most important document that makes America great is the Bill of Rights and the greatest right in the Bill of Rights is the right to free speech. Free speech is under attack in the United States. People who say things that the left doesn't want to hear are often threatened and sometimes lose their jobs. There favorite way to get people in trouble is to accuse them of hate speech. There are a group of leftists who actively try and find fault in the most innocent things including childrens books. They convinced Suess Enterprises to stop publishing 6 Dr. Suess books for ridiculous reason such as the Chinese being drawn with lines for eyes. They'll find racism in books where there is no racism and sometimes they get children's books banned. The culture we live in, in which this happens is called the Cancel Culture.
