Censorship, boredom in high school lit!*WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2021* *Examples seem to abound:* We graduated from high school in 1965. We were living in suburban San Francisco, in a world which was much more culturally progressive than the more cloistered world of suburban Boston, from which our family had escaped in the summer of 1960.

So the critical race theory panic has, in many cases, boiled down to a good old-fashioned desire to ban books, most notably in Virginia where, somehow, Toni Morrison's *Beloved* is being debated (and, I should add, spoiled for those who haven't read it).

One of the things that inevitably happens when the book banning talk starts is a reductiveness, a highlighting of little pieces, ripped ... read more
