A great quote from a great article (The Progressive):

From a Vietnam veteran to the author:
“I had to come to some understanding of patriotism the hard way. It’s not about symbols and flags and the anthem–those things are the death of critical thinking. It’s about our responsibility to do something to make our country better.”

Apparently, according to this article, Enid Blyton’s books have been ‘updated’ and republished. ‘Updating’ in this case means changing all of the golliwogs to teddy bears, and removing all references to capital punishment. A classic quote:

But Rosemary Johnston, of the University of Technology, Sydney, said the works needed to be updated to reflect current values.

Perhaps, then, we should update The Tempest, removing Caliban and replacing him with a member of Al-Qaeda would be appropriate. And don’t forget Othello. Better replace him with a non-Black, non-Muslim character.
And then, in the final touch to updating works for our times, we can do a search-and-replace on ‘Mein Kampf’; replace ‘Jew’ with ‘Illegal Immigrant’.

Bah.
