To Kill a Mockingbird was "banned?"
Why yes. Yes it was.
The iconic novel "To Kill A Mockingbird" is among five books on race that have been temporarily removed from the required reading list in the Burbank Unified School District after complaints from parents.
Among many issues, several of the books include the "N" word.
Carmenita Helligar raised a red flag when her daughter, the only Black student in her class, was confronted and berated by another student after studying one book.
"The boy said, 'I now know how to count you. And he started saying, 'One, 'N-word,' two 'N-word,' three 'N-word,' just to make her feel bad," said Helligar, who is a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee.
The district says the five books are still available in schools, but they are not on the list of core books that all students must read.
So, not "banned" but removed from required reading because they were offensive.
"Lube" "Ass" etc are not, apparently, offensive.
