My, my, how the times (and our #values) have changed in #America.

On the heels of #Trump banning #CNN, #MSNOW, and #Politico from the #WhiteHouse, I thought I'd leave this excerpt from my textbook here. #FreePress

"Essentials of Cultural Anthropology" (2012) by #GarrickBailey and #JamesPeoples.

"An excellent example of how values provide ultimate standards is the American emphasis on certain rights of individuals, as embodied in the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. No matter how much some Americans hate what the press prints, what the right or left wing says, or what the pro-life or pro-choice movement advocates, few believe that unpopular organizations or speech should be suppressed, so long as they do not engage in or promote violence. Freedoms of the press, of speech, and of religion are ultimate standards that take precedence over the opinions and interests of the moment."
