Banned from where? This is a reading list.
I oppose censorship. I support schools deciding what they should recommend for reading and also what they have in their libraries.
I think we are wasting our time, Protagoras.
Some people see "removed from reading list" and have the Pavlovian response: "CENSORSHIP! CENSORSHIP! They'll ban Huck Finn next! And then The Wizard of Oz! Then, they'll control everything we read! Book burners! Naziiiiiiiiiiiiss!!"
the article states that these books have been approved by the teachers and department chairs.
