#ItTakesAllKinds
#controversial

The principal at my school got fired, our English department chair lost that position, and the two teachers who assigned this book to AP English students got letters in their file ... #controversyoverload.

RebL I read this so long ago that I don‘t remember what in it would cause people to lose their job? My take was that we have to learn anew why we got rid of shaming in the public square. 3d
dabbe @RebL Ronson included real e-mails that were quite vulgar, racist, sexist, you name it. But he did that to show the unbelievable hate-rage of some people. All the ONE parent who started the whole s(*5-show read were the emails and not the entire book--which is my #1 peeve with anyone who tries to ban a book. You must read the whole darn thing, people! This parent went straight to the media and our school was “publicly shamed“ by the incident. 3d
RebL 😳😒😤 Not even sure what to say. Also, you probably already thought of the things I would say. 3d

DebinHawaii I‘ve not ever read this but it sounds like I should! Stacking.📚 3d
Amiable This was a great book. It scared the crap out of me in that it really showcased the dangers of using social media. Which is a message high school students (and everyone else) should hear. 3d
dabbe @RebL I am with you 💯 on what you're not saying. Thanks. 😍 3d
dabbe @DebinHawaii It was bandaid-off-the-scab riveting. 😘 3d
dabbe @Amiable #amensoulsista! 🤩😍😃 3d
CarolynM 😡 Ridiculous! The media should be shamed for their irresponsible behaviour in stirring up controversy. 3d
dabbe @CarolynM Agree 💯. I guess controversy creates sales in this capitalistic society. #argh 3d

Missing page! #argh

charl08 Oh no! Is it on google books? 4y
TrishB How annoying! 4y
Purpleness @charl08 No; I just kept going, and I assume I‘ll probably pick up on any key points later. It was just one page, so it‘s not the end of the world. 4y

Minor factual inaccuracies like this bother me (Nova Scotia is latin), and kind of make me wonder about the rest of the information in this book, which I was really enjoying. #argh

julesG 🙈🙈🙈🙈 4y
rwmg It does give you pause when authors get things wrong you know about, doesn't it? It makes them less trustworthy in matters you know less about. 4y
TrishB I can‘t carry on with factual books if I spot an inaccuracy. 4y
Sace And not to throw editors under the bus, but....someone dropped the ball. 4y

This is NOT going well.... about to force myself to finish Kohinoor in no small part to cross it off and get rid of it (massive William Dalrymple fan usually but I am NOT feeling the love for this book.... but I shall persist!!!).
