A former Tory councillor tried to ban my novel Pigeon English. Why should pupils suffer because of him?

omg u guys cant believe whats happening with book banning?! 🀯 it's like they're tryin to erase all the complex issues in the world just so they can avoid bein uncomfortable 😩 schools r supposed 2 be places where kids are challenged 2 think 4 themselves not stifled by censorship 🚫 u gotta admit, if a parent is makin a big deal 'bout a book, that's like, their own problems πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ we need more books like the hate u give, pigeon english, and other stories that tackle tough topics head on πŸ’ͺ it's all about buildin empathy, diversity, and critical thinkin skills, not just memorizin a bunch of facts πŸ“š
 
Can you imagine a generation that's been shielded from reality? 🀯 Teachers are saying books like The Hate U Give and Pigeon English engage students on a deeper level because they tackle tough topics. We need these kinds of conversations in schools, not just homogenized info about history. It's crazy that some parents think they know what's best for their kids' education... like they're the experts πŸ€”. Schools should be about fostering empathy and critical thinking, not coddling students from difficult ideas. That's how we build a more open-minded society.
 
πŸ€” I'm getting really uncomfortable with this trend of book banning in schools πŸ“šπŸ˜±. Like, what even is the point of limiting kids' access to diverse perspectives? They need to learn how to navigate the complexities of life, not just be spoon-fed a single narrative πŸŒŽπŸ’‘. And let's be real, if we're really worried about some parent objecting to a book that deals with tough issues, maybe we should be focusing on teaching kids critical thinking skills instead of shielding them from discomfort πŸ˜’πŸ“–. I mean, come on, The Hate U Give is like the ultimate gateway novel for talking about systemic racism and police brutality πŸ€πŸ½πŸ’•...
 
I'm telling you, this is getting outta hand 🀯. First, it's Afghanistan, now some dude in Weymouth is trying to ban books that talk about real issues like racism and police brutality 🚫. It's like they're trying to protect kids from the truth... but what's the alternative? A world where everyone just gets along and never has to deal with hard stuff again? No thanks, mate πŸ˜‚. Schools need to be a place where kids can explore their thoughts and opinions, even if it means getting uncomfortable πŸ€”. It's all about teaching them how to think critically and empathize with others, not coddling them into conformity πŸ‘Š.
 
🀯 I'm so done with this book banning trend! πŸ™„ Like, what's next? Removing art from schools because it makes you feel something?! 😩 Schools should be the place where we spark uncomfortable conversations, where we challenge our perspectives and develop empathy for others. By removing books like The Hate U Give and Pigeon English, we're essentially saying that we don't want to deal with the hard stuff – racial injustice, social inequality, etc. But let's be real, those are the issues that need to be tackled if we want a more just society. 🌎 We can't just shield our kids from reality and expect them to grow up into compassionate, informed adults. They need to be exposed to diverse perspectives, even if it makes them uncomfortable. πŸ’‘ It's time to rethink this book banning nonsense and create spaces for students to engage with challenging ideas! πŸ‘
