The world will be a far better place, and our schools much safer, when kids are no longer threatened with Charles Dickens’s notorious work A Christmas Carol.

 

People should not be subjected to hearing ideas that are different than their own — unless, of course, those ideas are of the right kind — though diversity in other regards should be our highest priority.  I urgently suggest that all products created by the dead white European male called “Charles Dickens” be replaced by the work of Audre Lorde.
