This will make teaching in the public schools real easy. We just need to lower the standards for teh NAEP.
Because it's important to learn to read.
When you learn to read you read fun books with simple, repetitive words and basic sentence structure.
Most don't start with Dostoyevsky. Except erBBers.
King got cancelled a year or two ago. So maybe?
No, he literally pulled Rage from the shelves (still available in Bachman Books collection) because of social consciousness towards school shootings.
Cherokee Nose Job was OK, though.
Yes, but you have to live life, especially as a kid. I had a ton of GI-JOE action figures (small ones, not the tall ones) which as a collection would go for a pretty penny now. Same with original Star Wars toys, M.A.S.K., Transformers, etc. But what kid wants to sit there and look at all these toys sitting on the bookshelf in their original packaging, untouched like some kind of art?
In the case of Rage school shooters said they read Rage and said Rage inspired them. (Doesn't matter, he's still cancelled due to his racist/misogynist/misogynoiristic views).
In the case of Seuss's Mulberry Street, kids in the Western world were suddenly inspired to eat only with chopsticks, thus irritating the fvck out of their parents who were still trying to get them to stop playing with their food...
I think it was only the Crossroads shooter who claimed Rage and he only pulled that book when the rash of school shootings changed his view of that book. As far as racist views, well, he does pull the Magic Negro card a bit too often. And latest adaptations of his work are... bad.
I'm shocked my 4th grade teacher didn't petition to have Journey to the Center of the Earth pulled when it inspired me to write all of my homework in runic form.
Theodore Giesel drew some craaaaaazy racist news comics, I found a few in a collection at the Smithsonian that were pretty eye popping even for the times
Stephen King isn't cancelled at all. Stephen King is beloved.
You can find people from the far left and the far right saying all sorts of ridiculous things on Twitter, stop listening to them, they don't represent most liberals or most conservatives.
Wait until they start egging Mickey Rooney's grave for Breakfast at Tiffany's.
