In response to multiple requests for "comment" on the Edmonton school board's banning of #TheHandmaidsTale, I did a post on my Substack about it that contains the text of my speech to the PEN International Congress in Krakow today... margaretawood.substack.com . .

@ClaytonBurnsPhD I’ve read dozens of the ones you list there, including quite a few that I have taught at the high school level (in Edmonton): R&J, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, many sonnets, Dickinson, Plath, The Great Gatsby, Jane Eyre, Streetcar Named Desire, The Tyger, My Last Duchess, and more.

UCP: Not by making us look bad with some of the books on that list. Media: But don’t those books fall under the criteria you set out? UCP: We don’t know! We don’t read books! This is vicious compliance!! 6/6

Teachers: That will take a lot of teacher time to go through all of our books. Books are kind of our thing. We have a lot of them. Can we get some money to do all the extra work? UCP: We have no appetite to give you any more money. Just do it. Or else. 3/6
