[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are the one talking about book bans. I want the book taught, and I want all kids in the room to be able to process that teaching, which means having respect for whether or not they want to hear their white teacher saying the n word during class. It’s just not as hard as you’re making it out to be. Morrison can write it. But I don’t see her saying anywhere that she hopes white teachers will say it when teaching her book, nor that she wants kids to say it at one another as part of the class discussion. You can discuss the topics raised by the word without saying that one specific word. This isn’t rocket science, and you’re creating a strawman by implying that you can’t discuss the underlying ideas without saying that one specific word. It’s ridiculous. [/quote]

"“Efforts to censor, starve, [b]regulate and annihilate us are clear signs that something important has taken place,” she wrote. “The thought that leads me to contemplate with dread the erasure of other voices, of unwritten novels, [b]poems whispered or swallowed for fear of being overheard by the wrong people, outlawed languages flourishing underground, [/b]essayists questions challenging authority never being posed, unstaged plays, canceled films—that thought is a nightmare. As though a whole universe is being described in invisible ink.”"

Those are her words about this very subject and this very book.
