GOPer Doubletalk and BS

Mitch Daniels, the GOPer ex-governor of Indiana and current President of Purdue University, is trying to censor Howard Zinn's book A People's History of the United States. Daniels thinks that Zinn's book is

is a truly execrable, anti-factual piece of disinformation that misstates American history on every page. Can someone assure me that it is not in use anywhere in Indiana? If it is, how do we get rid of it before more young people are force-fed a totally false version of our history."

Notice the language that Daniels uses; he wants to "get rid" of a particular book simply because he disagrees with it. This is the tendency of a potential dictator. The right wing war on science has turned into a war on intellectual freedom. The simultaneous attacks on science, trying to surpress the evidence for global warming , for instance, is part of the same tendency. It is right-wingers like Daniels who are trying to shove their propaganda down everybody's throat. When called on it, Daniels is now trying to make himself out to be the victim. Which is another trick that conservatives at all levels like to pull (compare, for instance, the Paul Deen kerfuffle). Another instance that the rightists might talk about "freedom" but are actually trying to impose their ideology on evryone else.
