I mean, have we destroyed every last vestige of Lewis Carroll/C.L. Dodson—“Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland,” “Through the Looking Glass,” etc.—because he turned out, by modern standards of decency, to be a “child pornographer”? (Yes, he took photos of nude prepubescent girls—with the mothers’/parents’ permissions.)
If we search hard enough, we can probably find some presumably objectionable utterance, incident, or the like by just about anybody and everybody, even Mister Rogers, Charles M. Schulz, Mother Teresa, or Abraham Lincoln. Do we let that eradicate any and all goodness they did?
