‘A blueprint for thought control, cloaked in the language of public safety’
By Bob Unruh
A spokesman for the Denver Republican Woman organization is warning that a new plan in the Democrat-run state legislature in Colorado is dangerous to a free society.
Because it would end up in speech controls not heard of since … “1984.”
That would be the novel “1984” by George Orwell, whose dystopian plot included a “Ministry of Truth,” absolute speech controls, and very little truth allowed.
Republican Women vice president Ashley Troxell, in fact, has written at Complete Colorado, “Novelist George Orwell’s vision of government-controlled thought and speech has taken a disturbing turn in Colorado with the introduction of Senate Bill 24-084. Sponsored by Senator Lisa Cutter and Representative Lorena García, both Democrats, the ‘Attorney General Duties to Prevent Mis- & Dis-information’ reads like a page straight from Orwell’s classic novel ‘1984,’ and should send shudders down the spine of freedom-loving Coloradans.”
She cited the Democrats’ demands for state-monitored “curriculum” that would be intended to “facilitate productive and honest conversations” on various issues.
