Opinion | Dana A. Williams: The themes of the Toni Morrison classic 'Beloved' — which is meant to challenge readers — mirrors what’s playing out on the campaign trail in Virginia. - NBCNewsTHINK
How ironic is it that the themes of the book mirror what’s playing out on the campaign trail..” But the promise to ban or to require warnings about books that cause lawmakers to “turn bright red with embarrassment,” as Murphy said happened when she reached out to lawmakers about the book, is more than a dog whistle. It is evidence of just how petrified this nation is of its past, especially when that past challenges American myths of freedom and justice for all. But we cannot escape this past.
If a senior in an Advanced Placement English class finds the content of a book like “Beloved” so “disgusting and gross” that it caused him to have night terrors, as Murphy claimed happened to her son, imagine how much more difficult the lived experience must have been. What Youngkin’s choice to raise this issue at this point in the campaign reveals is his understanding of the appeal of anti-intellectualism among a specific segment of voters.
