1953: Indiana Textbook Commission charges that Robin Hood is a communist

Quote Of The Day
"There is now a Communist directive in education to stress the story of Robin Hood. They want to stress it because he robbed the rich and gave it to the poor. That's the Communist line. It's just a smearing of law and order and anything that disrupts law and order is their meat."
(Ada White aka Mrs. Thomas. J. White)

Isn't it funny how highly strung radicals on the left and the right can get so irate over innocuous fictional characters popular with children. Tom and Jerry incite violence. Golliwogs are racist. Batman and Robin are gay lovers. Superman is an icon of American imperialism. Robin Hood is a communist. Velma Dinkley is a lesbian.
