Artist Billy Bragg Advocates For Censorship Of Children's Books And Encounters A Scathing Takedown
A bit of background: this panel includes a musician who advocates for removing 'offensive' words and imagery from children's literature. The woman in the video is Professor Gigi Foster. While she is 'progressive', she believes we shouldn't change an author's work even if the words are now not seen as acceptable in our lexicon. -- Billy Bragg wants to sensor children's books. Billy Bragg is a Wanker. What an astonishing clip. I don’t know who this woman is but her effortless intellectual clarity made Billy Bragg sound as dumb as soup. And for someone who prides himself on being a progressive Bragg actually came across like a latter day Mary Whitehouse. A po-faced puritan. Her name is Professor Gigi Foster. She deserves all of the props because that was a brilliant take down.
People tend to not like scolds. When artists are making the case for artistic censorship, you know something has gone horribly wrong in society. Nothing like turning your back on your profession.
