'Activists have decided to change the meaning of 'banned books' to include any book that has been removed from a middle school curriculum or is not stocked in a high school library,' Timothy P Carney writes.
Did you know that The Handmaid’s Tale is also banned? Again, this could be a confusing fact for anyone paying any attention to American media and elite culture over the past seven years.But the 1619 Project and The Handmaid’s Tale are two of the books pictured in this NPR story on banned books or the “banned book” websites to which it links.
It’s normal that activists would abuse language in order to make their own issue seem more important. It’s unfortunate that this abuse of language is at the hands of people who claim to care about literacy, given that precision in language is a way in which literature can liberate and inform. You cannot buy Ryan Anderson’s When Harry Became Sally on Amazon. That is a far stricter “book ban” than any of the books mentioned by NPR or pictured in the article. They don’t carry it there either! https://t.co/c6hnKSZ63Z pic.twitter.com/63OkWDqRB9
