Is it right to censor or eliminate movies that are politically incorrect?

[Ronyell, Your Humble Creator!]

For movies that have politically incorrect content such as having negative stereotyping of other cultures and races, is it right to censor or eliminate movies that showcase the politically incorrect content?

For me personally, since I don't approve of anything being banned, I don't think it's right to banned movies that have politically incorrect content because we could use those movies to explain about how society was like during those days and how we can avoid repeating the same mistake in the future.

Like you, Ronyell, I don't think this is ever appropriate because what is considered to be politically incorrect by some is not considered to be thus by others.

But even more importantly, censoring was and is how dictatorships like Stalin's Russia, Hitler's Germany etc. etc. cemented (at least to an extent) their hold on people, their power, and if something is deemed inappropriate or politically incorrect, it is better to face this openly and discuss this instead of using censorship.

Education is better than censorship and censorship, even when/if with the best intentions can easily backfire and actually make problematic ideas and philosophies popular and the "voice of freedom"

I agree that schools should teach these subjects to children and have them understand about how censoring movies or books for that matter that contains politically incorrect content can be harmful for the society. It would help them learn about the mistakes of these actions and how to rectify it in the future.
