pickI have finally read Morrison‘s debut, my second read for #BannedBooksWeek. I listened to a couple podcasts about it thereafter, which helped me break it down. Child rape and incest do happen, and hiding that by removing books depicting it allows it to continue without being examined, which serves no one.

ChaoticMissAdventures That is what I never get from these "banners". They seem to think if you don't talk about it those things will not happen which is just insanity. 3d
Hooked_on_books @ChaoticMissAdventures It‘s so often under the guise of “protecting the children.” From what? Life? That‘s impossible. I understand not wanting to introduce something too early, but letting kids know about horrible things that are real gives them tools to deal with life. And lets those who have experienced it know they aren‘t alone. Also, the book banners tend to be just fine with guns, so there goes the protecting the kids bit. 3d
Reggie I love the section about the couch and what it meant to that family. I love her writing. 1d
