is a poet and teacher of English who often posts her students poems on social media to some acclaim.
She has written a book about her students and her work in which there are a number of ways of writing about her pupils' ethnicities or disabilities which a number of writers have objected to, She references for example the shape of their skulls, she first objected, and a number of other prominent writers (like Philip Pullman jumped to her defence )
The book has now been rewritten and reissued. The writers (largely of colour) who criticised her have taken quite a lot of shit on social media. And now inevitably Sarah Ditum <puke> has written a pice about cancel culture for the Times.
his thread sums it up quite well
