Steinbeck Classic Taken Off Wales GCSE Syllabus
Daily Post
|December 26, 2024
JOHN Steinbeck's classic novel, Of Mice and Men, has been taken off the GCSE syllabus in Wales because of racist language.
-
The book has been frequently banned since it was written in the 1930s but most bans had been lifted and it has been required reading in recent decades in the US, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, as well by many UK exam boards.
The book is celebrated for addressing universal themes about pain, compassion, conscience, bullying and friendship in a short, powerful text that readers of all abilities can engage with.
But it is a product of its times with racial slurs and swearing.
