Reply to comment by tmgieger in I recently reread The Outsiders and, I realized I missed a lot. by YasnaMutmain16

Actually it was 2017, and in Canada. I do remember we did have to get a permission slip to watch the film though.

Interesting. Do you know if Canada has the same push for banning books in public schools & libraries, like Precious, GenderQueer, or The Bluest Eye. There is always an obnoxious group at school board meetings screaming about it.

Definitely not. I know there is some hesitation on books regarding some issues but it’s much less common compared to the states. We also read a lot of controversial book according to you guys like The Giver, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, 1984, Brave New World, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Things They Carried, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, Othello, and even the Marrow Thieves.
