The result of pervasive and institutionalized liberal censorship is termed ''liberal totalitarianism.''

Such attempts to remove [[First Amendment]] rights (see [[Fairness Doctrine]]), along with [[gun control]] and the outlawing of [[creation science]] and even [[homeschooling]], have led many critics to note the parallel between the modern liberal movement and 20th century [[totalitarian]] regimes. The censorship of school prayer is consistent with [[Fascist]] beliefs.<ref>Jonah Goldberg, "Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning"</ref><ref>[http://www.edmundburkeinstitute.org/documents/The_Just_Cause_Liberal_Totalitarianism.pdf Edmund Burke Institute]</ref><ref>[http://www.newmediajournal.us/staff/p_hollrah/06262007.htm  The Nazification of the American Left], Paul R.

=== Gun Control ===
The term Liberal Totalitarianism extends to liberals' attempts to breach the [[Second Amendment]] by banning weapons.  By removing guns, a government can remove citizens' ability to resist totalitarianism, as occurred in [[Nazi Germany]] and [[Soviet Russia]].  As [[Thomas Jefferson]] stated, "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

=== Religious liberty ===
One can see liberal totalitarianism toward their attitudes toward [[religious liberty]]. Despite the fact that many people, particularly left-wingers, consider the West to be the "free world" due to leftist policies, Christians and others who espouse conservative or unpopular views (which interestingly were considered mainstream only a few generations prior) have experienced increasing levels of persecution in Western countries, whether socially or legally. Increasingly, it is considered "dangerous" or "evil" to hold legitimate biblical Christian or conservative views that (despite the fact they are completely legitimate and sincerely held) contradict the leftist "consensus" or to pass them on to the next generation.

Due to their belief in the "[[Idea of Progress]]", left-wingers and even [[establishment]] "conservatives" believe that humanity is advancing and improving. Since they consider theologically conservative and orthodox Christianity to be "outdated," "archaic," or "narrow-minded," they believe that wiping out biblical Christian beliefs will only enhance progress and remove an obstacle to the betterment of humanity. Thus, despite the total lack of evidence, biblical Christian beliefs thought in love are increasingly considered "[[hate speech]]" or a "[[hate crime]]."

=== Homeschooling and school choice ===
Liberals oppose the practices of [[homeschooling]] and [[school choice]], preferring that all [[children]] be required to attend [[public school]]s, which [[Public school culture|indoctrinate students with left-wing and anti-Christian values]].
