I looked to see if it had been banned, and I found nothing since 1995, when it was banned at a high school for using the N word, and for sexual passages.
I remember when this came out. We were transfixed by it. My parents had lived in Surinam from just after the War until they moved to Canada in 1956. This is one of the major reasons they came to Canada. But such a great show.
Remember seeing the show when it was telecast. We didn’t appreciate it then, but the networks at that time had a moral compass. Now a network would probably pass for fear of being branded as WOKE.
I remember watching this and my dad sneering at it. I left permanently only months later. Some people never questioned their own prejudices. Those people are now ascendant. They are shameless. We have been warned many many times. Nobody is coming to save you.
Oh my goodness. Just what I needed this morning.
I'm so glad! Thank you.
Back in the day, I taught the book—and it was received with such attention by whites and blacks. I wonder if it would be banned today.

Nothing since then that I could find. Happily.

Thanks, Malcolm. I should have mentioned that.
I'll never forget that moment.

So true.
