That the books were not banned in your country (and would you know if they were banned 50 years ago?) does not mean that what Professor Corrigan said is false.
@@Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo First, you mentioned "my country" and you didn't deal with that problem. She didn't say which country so you have no recourse to say "Not my country". She never said your country. "Had been" does indeed mean it probably isn't any more. It also means it had ended sometime in the past. But "have been" doesn't necessarily mean that it has not ended. I can say I had been to San Fransisco, as I I had been to San Francisco when I got married, meaning I had gone to San Francisco before I got married. Or I can say I have been to San Fransisco, meaning I have been there sometime in the past. It does not necessarily mean that I am there now. So. No. The distinction doesn't make your point about the bans still being in place.
@@neilbarembaum1094 So I can't claim "Not my country" because the narrator didn't specify a location? You are essentially asking me to prove a negative. This is a classic example of shifting the burden of proof. The burden of proof lies on the one making the ambiguous claim (the narrator). The title "Which Children's Classics have been banned" is a click bait. It does not clarify if the bans were historical, regional, or specific to certain schools, libraries, or countries.
@@Pierluigi_Di_Lorenzo You can say what you want. But your claim that your country did not ban books does not refute what the professor was saying. My original claim was that your claim does not mean that what the professor said was false. There is only so much that she can put in a title. All of those things you mention are clarified in the post itself. It would be clickbait if she had something in the title or the screen cap that did not reflect what she said. Neither of those are true.
Hemingway targets Ferdinand! Hilarious. And also sad evidence influential adults are ruled by neurotic fears.
Other books could omit characters such as the satan and the sinners, for they are "offensive".

Nazi Pooh. 😂😂😂
Bull, none of these books have been banned in my country.

@@neilbarembaum1094 The title says 'Which Children's Classics Have Been Banned?' not 'Which Children's Classics Had Been Banned?'.
