Ugh, book banning seems to be at an all time high these days. It seems like one hears about book banning quite frequently on the news.
Recently, I watched the above video and learned that The Twits by Roald Dahl has been called out by an Australian academic. The Australian academic noted in the above video says The Twits encourages misogyny and anti-beard bias!!
I have not read The Twits, but have read other novels by Roald Dahl and enjoyed them.
I question whether The Twits truly encourages misogyny and anti-beard bias.
I suppose almost any book could be accused of engendering a bias against something but readers are responsible for their own choices and they can choose to be informed without allowing a book to sway them toward bad actions or biases.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, Dorothy!
DeleteBanning books is just CRAZY. If people don't like them then don't READ them! Simple really...
ReplyDeleteTrue enough, CyberKitten!
