What's stopping them? Nothing. I think the only reason they didn't destroy this little vestige of the New Deal era's temporary relief for the working class is there hasn't been a board room meeting (yet) to make it happen, and/or :my-hero: hasn't tweeted about how Of Mice and Men "SUCKS!" in a way that moves mountains with sheer bazinga force.
The kids will certainly prefer to do reading assignments about Tony Stark instead (or the next big thing down the pipe), the way that fast food and junk food catering replaced cafeteria kitchens in public schools everywhere around me. The "consumer choice" momentum would be unstoppable.
It's a little thing to add to the hellworld pile, but it disturbs me.
My middle school only read excerpts about how bad the meat was, and then how that was completely fixed by regulations. It was never covered in HS.
Book is 🔥🔥, definately worth a read.
Oh yeah I read it later, my point is there's no reason to ban it since it's already been recuperated.
You ban a thing or remove it and a kid might realize their ignorance on the subject and do primary research or listen to someone else on the topic.
You give them white-washed caricatured versions and they walk away secure in whatever propaganda you inserted into it.
