Last book you read?

So checking their reasoning they say they banned out for 8 swears and a picture of a naked mouse

I call bull****.

It's fairly obvious that 14-year-olds forced to look at pitchers of naked Jewish mice will be traumatised for life.

I know it's a graphic novel, but has anyone else read Maus? I read it a few years ago having borrowed it from my brother, and right now could easily it again

There's no doubt the Holocaust is a heavy subject, but I feel a book like this has the ability to reach an audience that won't necessarily read a textbook or full novel on the subject - I know the following is happening in America, but they aren't the first place to ban Maus

Books shouldn't be banned. Simple as that.

If they think that's bad get them to read about 10 of the WW2 books I've got.

Great idea morons.

Oh god.

Please dont....

/i had to support a Year 10 class doing that book. It was awful- really hard to analyse and I just did not grasp it, at all. Was a nightmare from my POV.
Tbf tho, I suppose that went well with most of my time that year in my new role, feeling completely incompetent and having nfi in general..

*They were saying something the other day actually that learning about the Holocaust should be mandatory on the school curriculum.

Well I know for a fact it is in Victoria. They start at Year 9.
