- The redtagging of bookstores, to me, is a sign of a growing push by certain elements in our society to promote ignorance and turn the public against education. The line being pushed by the “Marcotards” is that Tiktok and YouTube videos peddled by pseudo-historians who offer a blatantly favorable view to the Marcoses are more reliable than the textbooks written by those who have actually lived during the Martial Law years.
