Young Ethan Frome walked at a quick pace along the deserted street, past the bank and Michael Eady’s new brick store and Lawyer Varnum’s house with the two black Norway spruces at the gate.

The village lay under two feet of snow, with drifts at the windy corners.

I wanted to know if this kind of violence continued and whether the author would bring justice and not leave a hazy view of right and wrong. That said, my son asked me to look at the book for him because he was not comfortable reading it. Who likes to read that? I am not concerned with the sword fights and there are beatings that are part of the danger of the book, but the murder scene was very heavy and without knowing where the book leads from there, it can be enough to not want to keep reading the book. ![]() I personally would not give this to my 10 year old to read on his own.

So let’s take a closer look at some of the SPLC’s history and behavior. As with all vilification campaigns, the SPLC plays a dangerous and cruel game under the guise of defending victims. Those questions have been hanging in the air for decades. Why do so many folks treat the SPLC with undeserved reverence, the way too many high school kids treat a self-appointed nasty queen bee? Why do they accept the Southern Poverty Law Center as the nation’s Grand Inquisitor dictating who may speak and who must shut up? And why are its smears and caricatures so often blindly accepted at face value? What qualifies the SPLC to act as judge, jury, and social executioner of any human being who is not their blind supporter? A recent headline in the Washington Examiner nailed it: “The Bret Stephens Freak Out is a Reminder that the Media Is Basically a Massive High School Clique.” But look around and you’ll see such behaviors proliferating in every sphere: politics, journalism, education. In civilized societies, we supposedly grow out of that sort of tribalism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tino, the center forward, gets knocked down and starts punching the other player.
