- Banning "50 Dangerous Things" from Victoria, Australia?
-
That’s (roughly) what one Australian child psychologist wants to do to Gever Tulley’s new book, citing that it was a “massive over-reaction” to cotton-wool parenting.
Huh.
Not to particularly dwell on the controversy around books like “50 Dangerous Things” and “Free-Range Kids,” but if I were a kid and/or parent and saw that either book was being prevented from being sold in the area, I’d launch a counter-smuggling operation and sell the books out of my garage if I had to. Nothing vindicates a book quite like others wanting to ban it.
