Over the last few days, the #TeachBannedBooks hashtag has swept Twitter. In honor of Banned Books Week, The Huffington Post asked educators to explain why they introduce their students to certain banned books using the social media platform.
Some of the titles mentioned include The Hunger Games, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (embedded below), and The Giver. What do you think?
