Political Complacency

It is interesting to read and compare two pieces in Calendar about censorship: the first, Pristin’s report on PC in Hollywood; the second, on the Rev. Donald E. Wildmon’s attempts to censor a television program (“Wildmon Blocks U.S. Airing of British Program,” Jan. 2).

There’s no doubt that PC can go too far, but there’s also no question that the greatest threat to free speech and expression in this country comes from those in the Christian right wing. It’s a measure of their success that they do keep programs off television and that they have managed to convince mainstream America that PC is the real villain.

It certainly is a Humpty Dumpty world.
