Those who speak out face the fury of the witch hunters.
By Stan Guthrie
While many have cited this ugly but short-lived panic as evidence of what happens when religion is given too much prominence in society, history is replete with similar, more secular witch hunts: the Great Terror, the Cultural Revolution, the French Revolution, the 189,000 Stasi informers in East Germany, and the Red Scare in the U.S. Apparently witch hunts run in humanity’s blood. Add to this ignominious list the current cancel culture hysteria.
