  8. Get as angry as you want over sentiments from 150 years ago. You cannot change the past or the sentiments but if you are suggesting removing the works then all the power to you. 🙄

  10. I’m donating any money to my children’s charity - a fact some of the critics overlooked and of course complained about. I honestly doubt anyone will send money; it was to prove a point about the Wilder Award.

  11. The term was used 2 years ago in a tweet not targeted at any group but referencing an avatar of a friend. The word is defined as being derogatory if it’s used in a derogatory way and humorous if used in a humorous way. I’m sorry if certain types are offended.

  13. 🙄 It’s a sentiment from 150 years ago. You are just proving my point that one cannot use today’s point of view on what sentiments were in the past. What do you want to do- erase the entire series from history because the author reflects upon actual sentiments that you oppose?

  14. The LA County Museum of art charges but the have certain days when it is free and I think a couple hours during the week from 3-5??? It’s free.

  15. To all the indigenous people who are complaining that I blocked them. This is a good example of why. She thinks she’s being brave or funny or ??? but she’s harassing in your name. So here’s a concrete reason why you think issues fall on deaf ears.

  17. Juli, why continue to go on and on about this. You’ve said your peace, you assumed I was going to block you. Now you are just beating this issue to death over a single word published 2+ years ago. It wasn’t about a group or any indigenous person so my suggestion is block me & go.

  18. BTW, Shakespeare forbade woman to act in his plays, Merchant of Venice is thought to be anti-Semitic. Some believe the Chronicles of Narnia are racist. Tolkien’s writings exhibit black and white biases. Most great works have biases: the Odyssey; the Canterbury tales... 🤷🏼‍♂️

  19. I do hear what all people are saying. The word was tweeted 2yrs ago to a friend. It was meant to be humorous. It was not targeted at a group. He is not indigenous. For folks to now be screaming “racist” “white man” & “Jew” at me b/c they need someone to be enemy du jour is 🙄

  20. NOWHERE have I said don’t learn from past mistakes. The Wilder Award was awarded for substantial & lasting contributions to children's lit. Just because we have evolved & can recognize prejudices in viewpoints of 1867 pioneers should not negate the reasons behind the award.
