I have a feeling lots of people haven't read of mice and men.

Now that you mention it I don't think it's required reading outside of the USA?

Plus it's massively ableist, eugenicist, etc and maybe honestly shouldn't be tbh.

I kinda want to hold you. I mean if we rid of everything terrible and racist, well I don't care much for humans anyhow 😂

You can argue that Mein Kampf should be required reading too, but it rather depends on how it's taught on whether that would be a good thing.
