- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoWhat will they remove next, "Uncle Tom's cabin"??!
- AnthonyMouse 6y agoKind of a sad irony that they ban To Kill a Mockingbird over "racism" when it's a book about the importance of extending due process to a black man falsely accused of rape, happening at the same time as "Believe All Women" etc.
- dragonwriter 6y agoIt's being removed from curricula because parents complained about the perceived racist effects of the actual teaching of the book done in the district, and the district leaders found it easier to ban the specific books than to either figure out if there was a pedagogical problem and, if so, address it. The problem here is not “cancel culture", but “lazy elected politicians who don't take their duties seriously”.
- ReptileMan 6y agoWell the whole cancel culture is based exactly on that. The laziness of submitting to the crowd instead of taking a principled stand.
- billfruit 6y agoThen what will they do about Huckleberry Finn?
