    My 5th grade teacher killed my desire to read at an early age when she banned the class from reading Goosebumps during “Pleasure reading time”.

      I hate to break it to you, but that almost certainly came from some karen that didn’t want their individual son or daughter to be reading it. So they raised a big fuss with the teacher for principle to get the books banned in your classroom.

        That’s exactly what it was! She had twins at the same grade level and she didn’t want them reading those books. This was in South Carolina, so this type of behavior was expected. The Karen’s ruled South Carolina…
