Brave New World is on the list too. When I was in high school it was mandatory reading...

Seems like too many people have been using it as an instruction manual .. rather than a cautionary tale.

This is absurd. Are we going to start cutting up their food too? Maybe hire some people to help wipe their ass? If you don't want younger grades reading about sex or violence, fair enough. Put those books in a separate section for older grades, like gr. 5 or 6 up, but don't remove them. And certainly not for fucking high-school. How can we expect kids to mature and learn responsibly and citical thinking if we remove challenging material?

I assume they don't want kids to see spoilers about their future?

Streisand effect

Reading the Handmaids Tale at age 13 was life altering.

It got too real

Yeah, so, I have some access to the actual list of demands they sent out.

If you don't think handmaids tale describes sexual situations, you don't actually know what it's about. Which doesn't surprise me in a way, Danielle Smith seems like more of a Candy Crush person.

Vicious compliance my ass.

Not surprised.

At the risk of doxing myself, I was educated at one of these schools in my youth, where our Grade 10 science teacher told us that evolution was a lie and the universe was 6,000 years old. He later went on to become Principal.

Of course, wouldn't want people to read about what's to come, right?
