Re:Wizard of Oz theory (Score 1)

OZ experts disagree with this theory, pointing to the fact that there was no contemporary discussion of any sort of political interpretation when the book came out, Baum himself denied any political intention with the piece, and other case by case facts, such as the fact that there really were yellow brick roads in America at the time he wrote the books, he didn't have to be using yellow bricks to symbolize anything.
