摘要

The benefits of classroom instruction far outweigh the censorship of reading materials placed in the school curriculum.This essay will advocate exposure and engagement of the youth in the classroom learning process for their wholesome education.Employing as a case study A Man of the People,Chinua Achebe’s 1966 political fiction,this article will argue that censoring a controversial literary piece can deprive youth of a golden opportunity to learn about people and society with their own critical and creative abilities and arrive at good judgments by themselves and for themselves in an increasingly cross-cultural,complex,and complicated world.
