What makes you assume that it is even possible to "erase something from the public consciousness"? This has been tried over and over in many places throughout history and it's failed virtually every single time.

I always see people saying this, and I find it really strange. Do you think that propaganda has been employed throughout history just for shits and giggles? It is absolutely possible for the government (or private industry for that matter, if it has enough power) to heavily influence the way the public thinks about certain issues, up to and including almost entirely removing certain ideas from public discourse.
