Book banning
#21
RE: Book banning
I want to point out that I stated a few times in this thread that the California decision is not a ban but rather a change in required reading.  However, I think both subjects, book banning and changing the required reading list, are worth discussing because this book and several others have actually been expunged from various schools in the past.  In the California case, it is refreshing to hear that they are merely reconsidering what the best material is to confront the issue of racism, yet Faux News capitalizes on this story to generate vitriol at the terrible public school system for taking a beloved book away from our children.  *Facepalm*  Why do they always do this?
Why is it so?
