Is eating Goya beans on the daily still a thing? If y’all gonna be outraged by this, word on the street is that it’s good for your hearts. Ted Cruz puts it in his chili, bless his heart...
lol...this I give no fcks about what is going on with Dr. Suess, the Muppets, Elmer Fudd, or whatever else grown people have been crying about the past year
first they came for Elmer Fudd, and I said nothing then they came for the muppets, and again I said nothing then they came for Dr Seuss, and still I said nothing
This one is more hyperventilated generate outrage than usual. First Dr. Suess isn't being canceled or censored. As noted those books are still in circulation and can still be obtained. Second, this is being done by Dr. Suess' own estate licensing company not by the government. It's odd again that "conservatives" consider that a private company run by the heirs of the writer making a private decision is somehow censorship. Finally Theodore Geissel / Dr. Suess himself rewrote and redrew the "Chinaman" character in “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” to make it less of a ethnic caricature because even he thought it sent the wrong message. I suppose if he was alive today there would be people claiming Dr. Suess was cancelling himself.
it's only a matter of time; apparently Scholl lied about his credentials: https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/best-foot-forward/Content?oid=883615 excerpt: Scholl's success from the very beginning was directly connected to his claim to be a duly accredited and licensed medical doctor, not just a chiropodist but an MD; in his literature and advertising he proclaimed himself a certified doctor of medicine. And that's exactly what drives Oliver Field, the lawyer who headed the AMA's investigative arm from 1948 to 1964, crazy. "It's impossible to get absolute proof now," says Field, now retired and living in Crystal Lake, "but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the man never had a degree or got a legitimate medical license. What's on the record speaks for itself." The story reported by the press during Scholl's lifetime had him attending Harvey Medical School in 1900 and 1901 and continuing classes at Illinois Medical College from 1902 through 1904, when he earned his MD. Illinois Medical College became affiliated many years later with the Loyola University Medical School, and over the years Scholl presented himself as a Loyola alumnus. For reasons never explained, Scholl then obtained another medical degree in 1922, some 17 years after the first, from the Chicago Medical School. When the AMA began getting inquiries about Scholl's credentials from better business bureaus, doctors, and patients as early as 1914, their investigators claimed to be unable to authenticate the record. Scholl's name, the AMA wrote to inquirers, does not appear in the catalogs of the medical schools for the years claimed. The AMA immediately ceased accepting Scholl's ads in its magazine and reportedly wrote twice to Scholl seeking clarification. Scholl never replied. Until 1935 a man named Arthur Cramp headed the AMA's investigative branch, and the old AMA health-fraud archives are full of copies of dozens and dozens of letters responding to public inquiries, letters that condemn Scholl in no uncertain terms. "He is not a physician . . . " wrote Cramp and his fellow agents, "and he is not licensed in any state of the union." In other instances they wrote that Scholl merely "posed as an MD." But even if they could have found proof that Scholl had obtained a degree from the schools in question, Cramp and his associates would not have been impressed. Both the Harvey and Illinois Medical colleges, they wrote in the 1930s, were "low grade" institutions, while the Chicago Medical College was "rated Class C in 1907," "not recognized in 46" of the 48 states, and "since 1928 has been considered unworthy of being included among recognized medical schools." By the mid-1930s, Cramp and colleagues had discovered that Scholl did indeed possess a diploma from the Chicago Medical School. But that did not soften the rhetoric. Scholl's "whole record," they continued to write, "is entirely irregular." Their information showed that Scholl was granted a license to practice in the state in 1921, some nine months before he obtained the questionable diploma from the Chicago Medical School--a clear violation of state law. On top of that, the man who headed the Illinois Department of Registration and Education, the agency that granted medical licenses, from the early 1900s until 1922 was indicted in 1923 for running the agency as a license mill. William H.H. Miller and his associates had sold phony licenses to some 1,000 unqualified persons for about $2,000 apiece over more than ten years, the state charged. Among Miller's accomplices was Dr. M. Odeon Borque, who held a high-ranking position at the Chicago Medical School. Miller, Borque, and others were later found guilty, though Miller was only sentenced to seven months in prison. AMA investigators repeated this damaging information to inquirers again and again: at best, Scholl had spent a short time at low-grade medical schools, illegally obtained a license before even finishing his coursework, and then got a diploma from a school directly associated with a scandalous conspiracy. more at the link
