Black, Black, Black, Black, gay, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, woman, Black, Black, Black...no WE are not surprised at all.

I have read a lot of these, and I am surprised. I don't understand why some of these are banned to be honest.

The Great Gatsby surprised me because it’s so widely read in schools!

Let's continue to read and talk about banned books!

Very surprised by Gatsby considering its been studied in English class for years. Anne Frank? Lord of the Flies? They're doing more harm by banning these books.

Considering Handmade Tale was an amazing TV show, it surprises me that this one is banned. I think yes some are banned from certain places ie school - as the content is not appropriate but my gosh, banning books should be banned itself

Shocked & dismayed to see 'Hair Love' 😢

This sickens me. I have had so many excellent conversations with my students while reading these books. How do you open up a child’s mind to the beauty of others? “Seek the story of the stranger “. Especially critical today.
