pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When a book is ignorantly removed from a county in your state, the obvious move is take it from your shelf and crack it open. It‘s clear why this won a Pulitzer. Spiegelman recounts his family‘s experiences in the years/months/days leading to Auschwitz. This draws from his father‘s experiences and life after surviving the unimaginable. The black and white art and metaphoric animals are so effective in conveying the fear and brutality.
KathyWheeler I really think most 8th graders are perfectly capable of handling Maus, so I find the reasoning behind removing it from the curriculum to be disingenuous. 2y
britt_brooke @KathyWheeler I 100% agree! 2y

britt_brooke @Leftcoastzen I can‘t believe I hadn‘t read it previously. I bought both volumes years ago from a now sadly closed local used book shop, but never found the right time to pick them up. Of course, now was perfect. 2y
Cinfhen #GoBritt 🙌🏻🧡 this was actually your county??? That‘s really sad to hear. The removal of this book especially on International Holocaust Day was total BS. Thank you for standing up to hatred😘😘 2y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen No, not my county, thankfully, but a county in my state (it‘s in east Tennessee). It makes me so angry when people do this shit. And I love how it always backfires. Maus is getting so much attention and rightfully so. (edited) 2y
Cinfhen Oh good!!! I was worried 😅 2y
britt_brooke @Cinfhen I‘d have to move!!! 😂 2y
Cinfhen I was thinking just that 😉 2y
