哥伦比亚高中在学生自杀后删除了Junot Díaz的小说, Columbia High School removed Junot Díaz’s novel after student suicides, calling it a temporary, context-specific response to mental health concerns.

针对新泽西州马普莱伍德哥伦比亚高中的心理健康危机, 包括至少五起学生自杀未遂及一起死亡事件, 校区将Junot Díaz的小说从英语课上删除, In response to a mental health crisis at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, including at least five student suicide attempts and one death, the school district removed Junot Díaz’s novel from an AP English class, citing a suicide scene. 这一举动被国际笔会美国分会归类为禁止书刊,反映出一种限制关于精神健康、悲伤和创伤的文献的全国性趋势。 The move, classified as a book ban by PEN America, reflects a national trend of restricting literature addressing mental health, grief, and trauma. 该区说,该决定是对学生福祉的临时性、因具体情况而异的反应,而不是审查,并计划实施选择入院心理健康筛查和扩大咨询。 The district said the decision was a temporary, context-specific response to student well-being, not censorship, and plans to implement opt-in mental health screenings and expanded counseling. 2011年以来教授的这个小说因探索身份和情感斗争而受到赞扬。 The novel, taught since 2011, had been praised for its exploration of identity and emotional struggles.
