Censorship

"Most disturbing is the fact that much of the censorship is never reported or discussed because it is done by teachers themselves."

This quote is in reference to English teachers who also have the power to "burn books." Except, this kind of censorship won't be obvious and no one will have the chance to rally against it. I sent the quote onto my brother, W, who just started work as an English teacher. (Okay, he teaches math, too, but let's just ignore those details...) I sent him the quote with the hope it will haunt him. Also, I don't want him turning into a teacher who is afraid of approaching novels that may be controversial, or risqué. Even if a day may come where is forced to ask himself: "Do I really want to jeopardize my career? Is [Insert a Challenged Book Title Here] worth it?" The answer to this question is, "Yes, it is worth it." This way he avoids the wrath of his sister and he is making the world a better place. Who could ask for anything more?
