The book Life is So Good, co-written by George Dawson, is banned at George Dawson Middle School in Southlake, Texas. The same George Dawson who wrote this book is the George Dawson the school is named after.

Texas.

There is a middle school in Southlake named after George Dawson. The grandson of a slave, he learned to read at 98 and co-wrote a book about his life's journey when he was 103 years old.

That book has now been banned from the middle school that bears his name. https://t.co/DUyA0YLuaJ pic.twitter.com/DktNI10Ybm
