Read, people!

I get a weekly email from the National Council of Teachers of English, highlighting various news stories that have to do with education in general, and reading/writing specifically. This doozy was included in the latest email.

Seriously, what is wrong with people? Did they miss the same lesson I had in school that you really shouldn't complain about something until you know what it's all about? I personally have never read What's Eating Gilbert Grape? or watched the movie, but I have a problem with fundamentally banning something before it's been read in its entirety and understood.

That's all...just wanted to vent.
