As a Latino, I’m kinda upset over the “controversy” over this.
“These conservatives are using fear to essentially push through their agenda,” says Fernández, who warns that the rising wave of censorship throughout the U.S. could be a “repeat of the Red Scare.”
I wasn’t aware it ever ended.
In its place, the Smithsonian is now planning an exhibition on salsa and Latin music.
Replace a telling of history that’s uncomfortable for libs with palatable cultural exports that serve to entertain? Sounds about right.
They want a narrative that emphasizes Latino military service and business success among Latinos in the United States.
It’s amazing that even that (that last part that you pointed out) makes conservatives uncomfortable.
Even so, the idea of a New Red Scare is an apt one and I believe that the Second Red Scare of the 1950s did end or at least ebbed and flowed since the 1950s.
We should take this new salvo against communism seriously, the one in recent years.

Very true, it’s definitely gotten worse.
Yeah, during the 1990s and 2000s, the anti-communism arguably died down, though the communist movement lost its mojo in almost its entirety (even China grappled with currents that wanted to lessen or abandon Marxism-Leninism during the 1990s, for example). It’s only after 2008 and especially 2016 that we came back in a major way.
Thoughts on this?
Sadness, mainly. The ghouls seem to recognize the importance of Latine history, and they’re working overtime to suppress it
Latino/a history is understudied and so they fight against it.
