Melissa Nikolai: 'Is it fair to insist that the book should be banned for every student simply because it contains a mention of something to be removed under HB374?'
Four of nine books that have been removed from schools in the Canyons School District and placed under review, Nov. 23, 2021. The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison, Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov and Beyond Magenta by Susan Kuklin.Let me be clear, no teacher, in Utah or anywhere in the country for that matter, is teaching pornography. Period. That’s not what we do; that’s not who we are. Not to mention that it is illegal.
It’s the flawed characters that we respond to as we process judgment, indignation and outrage from their painful life situations that makes a story worth reading, and it is precisely the sensitive material that is pinnacle to the character’s transformation. If books scare you, if you don’t want your student exposed to reflection, deep thinking and powerful ideas, then please place restrictions on your own kid. Your teacher will offer an alternative. Is it fair to insist that the book should be banned for every student simply because it contains a mention of something to be removed under HB374?
