Rudyard Kipling’s IF Poem

Someone posted this poem on another thread the other day but I can’t find it just now.

However, it seems we are not supposed to enjoy it after all these years!

If she had put Mayas poem next to Kiplings she would have shown some wisdom. As it it she has shown nothing but intolerance.

What next.... a Bonfire of books by authors that she and the students union that they do not like.

These aggrieved previleged students ( note their names not exactly Smith and Jones ) should shut up or go back to whence their lucky ancestors came from then they would have something to be outraged about.
Anyone would think they all descended from countries of peace and tranquility
Africa -the most tribal and violent of countries I doubt if The Zulu chiefs worried about who they massacred to achieve their dominance .
India -rife with caste distinction .
Born in the wrong caste you are sunk .

Really they do t deserve to have the freedom to study -if they study when they are not trying to eradicate history .

Nazis burning books
ISIS smashing temples and ancient architecture
Artworks being vandalised by students with a stick up their arses

No difference. They're all just as bad.
