So one of the things that theyre saying in effect is that we dont want the spanish spoken that we live to kids, they want sort of a perfected, not stylized but almost strict spanish almost. And its interesting because where we are connecting, where the book is super popular is texas, california, the southwest, right where spanglish exists so in the spanish people , some people read it and if you dont know what spanglish is then it doesnt make sense to you so , but i wanted to bring that up because theres also a lot of passive censorship, not passive but almost unknown censorship.
