well! I'm glad this is here. I don't like censorship of any kind, and its good to have it here so we have the opportunity to discuss it.
All statements of opinion, backed up by no references. Which is suspicious in itself.
Which comic is (she?) describing on page 2? Never seen anything like that.
You could go through this page by page and refute it.
"The American association of University women" - Wonder what they are up to today?
'Children had read 915 books and 2370 comic magazines' And this is a problem? Most young people today, no, not all - don't read books at all. [my computer engineer nephew, refuses to. ['refer me to a video or a podcast' ]
Newsweek, quoted here, speaks of 'The War-developed soldier market' [And I'm sure violent comics corrupted those guys] but the article doesn't factor that in at all.
By these standards, Walt Disney today is a disreputable and corrupting influence on Children and young people.
Hmm, Wait a sec?
