Why would someone want to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird?”

You misunderstand!

No one wanted to outright "ban" the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Rather, parents in certain school districts wanted it struck from their fifth-graders' curriculum and/or removed from the elementary school's library. A reasonable decision.

But, to be frank, if I knew that my children's teacher was hoping only to twist, smear, mock, and/or falsely represent any book - say, in the context of promoting CRT - I wouldn't want that teacher teaching even the Bible. (Of course, it would, in that case, be better to eliminate the teacher.)

Regards,

My source is a radio news announcer on a Houston radio station, KTRH, to which I was listening about a month ago. Sorry I didn’t make further footnotes. More detailed information can probably be researched online.

For the same reason they banned Huckleberry Finn.

If anyone ever tries to ban “To Kill A Mockingbird”, it will be a leftists because it isn’t woke enough for them.

Look how they’ve tried to ban Dr. Seuss.

Point of grammar: Lightfoot MAY read any book she wishes to read; but it is highly doubtful that she CAN read them.

Frankly, I’m surprised she can read at all...

Why would someone want to ban “To Kill a Mockingbird?”

It’s the epitome of what WAS and how it was dealt with so as to NEVER let it happen again. Thank you Dr. King and the Republicans in the Congress for making that horrible state of affairs stop!!! The Demonrats are depending on the ignorance of a class of people NOT to realize who was responsible for their ANCESTORS plight and keep the ignorance going!!!

Truthfully, how many 5th graders would even want to read To Kill A Mockingbird? And how many would understand it if they did read it?
