A school board in America banned Toni Morrison’s masterpiece The Bluest Eye. And now another board has banned the brilliant graphic novel Maus, and this is happening on the eve of #HolocaustMemorialDay Deeply disturbing the ongoing war against books, memory, knowledge & diversity https://t.co/sOUzdkYoxM
