One of the subjects present in Mike Curato’s debut graphic novel is the toxic masculinity and homophobia that Navarro contends with, which happens during his time at the Catholic school and while at the summer camp. This is also portrayed when Aiden attempts to fit in with his pubescent campmates by acting heterosexually and imitating their “homophobic, macho behaviour”. (source: wikipedia)
Well we can’t allow boys to learn that toxic masculinity is bad! /s
If you want a book to pass a board test like that you either have to manipulate the board into thinking that way, or you need to pick a book that doesn’t make an enemy out of anyone.
Any book that portrays one side as bad and the other side of normal or vice versa will always be in contention as a no.
Whether you agree or not, it’s just the fact of the matter. You need books to squeeze your way in one step at a time instead of going straight to the fire. The real world doesn’t work off the reddit circle jerk, it works slowly. Or just wait 50 years when no one who’s old enough really gives a shit anymore. That’s pretty much our best bet. I can’t imagine anyone doing any of this 50 years from now.
Idk, painting normal boys as toxic isn’t great. I don’t really get why people defend these types of books in schools, just let people buy it online if they want to. It’s not banned from the state
