After reading that the city was encouraging everyone to reread “To Kill a Mockingbird,” I borrowed it from the library and spent the weekend with it.
More than when I was a cynical high-schooler, I was moved by the power inherent in the simplicity with which the social lessons were observed and told.
So it was sad irony to read at the same time that a high school in Oklahoma was busy upholding the tradition of narrow-minded censorship by removing the book from the school’s reading list.
One more reason, I suppose, to be grateful to live in Chicago.
