David Walliams in the bin

[carlitaclarita]

To throw all our David Walliams books out? I can’t even bear to take them to charity shops and I’m annoyed I even own them and annoyed they were so heavily pushed in schools.

There are loads of terrible, sexist, racist and badly written books for children and adults, and we can’t burn all of them. I hate Walliams and his books but I wouldn’t stop a child from reading them - I’d try to help them develop critical thinking about the content. Because you can’t police what they’re going to read forever and it’s better that reading helps them learn to think and question IMO.

there are also countless book out there written by horrible people. Some probably being lauded and awarded right now who will turn out to be abusers and similar.

however you can recycle books to make art, decorations and even coffee tables so I might consider that with really bad books. Have a google!

A bit extreme to compare this to nazi book burning. You can still buy them and borrow them, but the difference is people evidently don’t want to read that guff any more so there’s no need to preserve them.

😂i know I was just being silly!
