Superb article that should have been on the main website.

If you had read my article it never mentions the word "BANNED".

My article is more about the status of the book for me and as a work of art.

I refer to the reason given for its demotion by the WJEC.

I explain why I believe the decision is wrong.

What is interesting is that you go on at length about American authored books that I never mention in my article.

What is even more interesting is that you elide any reference to the issues that could arise from the portrayal of Lennie. That if anything could be viewed as just as "offensive".

But how many disabled people mentally and physically are in the classroom?

I have to say that your last paragraph has offended me personally.

As the father of 3 mixed race children now adults the insinuation that I would ever allow them to be subject to racism is truly disturbing. But Of Mice And Men is a great work whose themes are still universally relevant.

That was my point.
