History is not therapy, and discomfort is part of growing up. As a teacher, I cannot exclude the possibility, for example, that my non-Jewish students will feel psychological distress in learning how little the United States did for Jewish refugees in the 1930s. I know from my experience teaching the Holocaust that it often causes psychological discomfort for students to learn that Hitler admired Jim Crow and the myth of the Wild West.

- Professor Timothy Snyder commenting on laws passed in Idaho, Iowa, Tennessee, Texas, and Oklahoma banning any teaching that might give rise to "discomfort, guilt, or anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of the individuals race or sex".

Racism is not dead, but it is on life support-kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as "racists" Thomas Sowell.
