With a

culture from a Christian worldview on John Stone Street with the point. I didn't think

that cancel culture would ever come for Anne Frank, but here we are.

Parents of a German daycare center named after Frank proposed a name change

because they said it was just too difficult to explain

the significance of Frank to their children.

The director of the school agreed, explained that a name, quote, without political background

would be better. Well, after a public backlash, the trustees reverse course, and for that we can be grateful.

Anne Frank was a real girl.

She faced real horror, met a real and horrible death.

Erasing her memory helps no one.

History should never be edited to fit our comfort level.

Like real life, history has hard edges and unpleasant elements that don't budge for contemporary

fashion or fragile feelings.

Part of its value lies in teaching us hard lessons,

not and conforming to what we wish were true.

And Frank deserves better.

So do the kids learning her story today.

For the Colston Center, I'm John Stone Street.
