Reading that an English school dropped "The Hate U Give" from a reading list because of one complaint from a parent made me both sad and angry; sad, because of the importation of US conservative culture war tactics, and angry, because the school folded so easily.

Nevertheless, I also felt unhappy about the school's choice of book in the first place. Of course children in the 95 % "white British" town of Weymouth need to read about race and racism, but can't the school find something by a Black British author?

Without denying the global importance of African American culture, can we not also recognize that Black writing and culture in general is not just that of Black people in the USA?

Currently reading: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. I’m continuing my goal to read as many banned books as I can, and this was gifted to me by a friend a few years ago. #nowreading #bookstodon #bannedbooks #TheHateUGive #AngieThomas

I'm reading a banned book. It is good. I'm half-way through it. https://bannedbooksweek.org/banned-spotlight-the-hate-u-give/

Klar, #SchwarzeAdler bekomme ich jetzt auch einfach in der Zdf-#Mediathek und #TheHateUGive einfach auf DVD. Das waren halt Beispiele aus der Vergangenheit bei denen ich dachte: hätte ich Zugriff auf Prime würde ich das schaue.
