Rejected petition Keep To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men on the natioanl curriculum

More details

To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men are among the US literary classics to be dropped by a GCSE exam board after the education secretary, Michael Gove, reportedly called for more British works to be studied.

These are wonderful stories, accessible to all ages, and it would a literary crime to deny the future generations of this country these books in their education.
