So abandoning a guy in a suit of armor in a century where human settlements will be established on the moon and Mars is woke and racist? America became great by turning its back on the past - monarchy, European class inequality, government enforced adherence to the "state" religion to try new ways to govern and new ways of structuring society that would create more equality and the freedom to hear new ways of thinking and new truths expressed. That is what allowed the founding fathers to create the first democratic country of modern times. But sure embrace the past, go back to the way things were and ensure the downfall of America just like the Roman Empire and China fell because their people didn't understand that time stands still for no one and the only way to survive and prosper is to embrace the future and that means embracing change. If King Author Flour hadn't expanded their product line and changed the way they approached their business, their customers and the public they would have gone into bankruptcy 100 years ago. The future forward re-imagined King Arthur Baking Company will be selling goods and services on the moon while you're sweating under 120 deg heat in your Knightly suit of armor still denying climate change.
