Author Judy Bloom has criticized censorship in the United States after some of her novels were removed from the school curriculum. It has been reported deadline.
In particular, Bloom’s novel Forever was recently removed from schools in Martin County, Florida, for its explicit sexual content. On Sunday, Bloom said the book ban took on political overtones “worse than in the 1980s”.
“I lived in the 1980s, when the book ban was in full swing. And it was terrible. Then libraries and schools started implementing their policies, and we saw a decrease in the desire to censor books,” Bloom said. “Now it’s back and it’s much worse because it has political implications.”
According to the author, she is concerned about the growth of “intolerance of everything, of sex, of sexuality, of racism” in the United States.
Screen adaptation of Bloom’s best-selling book, God Are You There? It’s Me Margaret, starring Abby Ryder Fortson, Rachel McAdams and Kathy Bates, will be released in May. Still on sale today, the book has always been controversial for its open discussion of sexuality and religion.
It was previously known that in the book “Gone with the Wind”. will appear A warning about the “harmful and painful” aspects of slavery in the 19th century.
