Rob: RTG @rtechgaming.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Straight up... if the book makes someone uncomfortable, THEY'RE the problem, not the content of the book. It's a problem with their morality and personal character. The book is great. 050 5

Orpheus Condescending @maryscottoconnor.com · 26/12/2024Another take on it. I'm all for teaching this text, completely disgusted with removing it from curricula. But there's a different way to approach it, a way that never occurred to me (OF COURSE) until I read the reactions of Black people to the book.

Geoff Brock @geoffbrock.bsky.social · 01/09/2024Those are, I think, the exact words used by Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451. Which is disturbing. 1183 18
wzuk11.bsky.social @wzuk11.bsky.social · 12/06/2025As a teacher-librarian, I had to deal with challenges of classic literature. The school division had a rigorous review that always ended with a retraction. The material invariably was never actually read by the individual who asked for its removal. Stand up to the bullies, they always back down. 010 1

MiddleMolly @middlemolly.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Things like racism, genocide, slavery, white supremacy, fascism, Nazi-ism, etc etc, SHOULD make us uncomfortable. Where is this library? 182 8

Ray Haze @rayhayes215.bsky.social · 07/04/2025washingtonpost.comStudents hated ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ Their teachers tried to dump it.Four teachers in Washington’s Mukilteo School District wanted to protect students from a book they saw as outdated and harmful. The blowback was fierce. 010 1
elizabeth warren ✓ @ewarren.bsky.social · 13/12/2024had to read this for my high school english exams almost 20 years ago. still my favourite book all these years later. It really made you put yourself in the shoes of others 0162 16
Henry Dunn @jazzmanhenry.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Good art and literature should make people uncomfortable at times, otherwise it's bland and achieves little 030 3
geezerkeith @geezerkeith.bsky.social · 03/01/2025If I had young children, I would make them read any banned book. There's an obvious reason they're banning them after all. 050 5
