So shortsighted and dumb - Andy Roddick lashes out on America s book censorship

By Hari Modified 27 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Andy Roddick lashes out on America's book censorship Former World No. 1 Andy Roddick has lashed out at book censorship in the United States of America and termed the move "shortsighted and dumb." Roddick's reaction comes after a school district in Pennsylvania temporarily banned the 'Girls Who Code' book series for young readers. More than 1,500 unique book titles have been banned by various schools across the USA, after conservative pushes to censor books. The decision did not go down well with Roddick, who took to social media to express his displeasure. He opined that the government cannot be pro-economy and anti-education. "Banning books that encourage girls to code. There is no bottom. God forbid people learn and become more educated. It’s all just so dumb. You can’t be pro economy and anti education. So so shortsighted and dumb," he tweeted. andyroddick@andyroddick@guardian Banning books that encourage girls to code. There is no bottom. God forbid people learn and become more educated.

The former US Open winner lost all of his eight Grand Slam matches against Federer, with four defeats coming in the finals. The American was Federer's rival before Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic entered the scene. Roddick took to social media to pay tribute to the Swiss legend and wish him well in retirement. "When I hear the name of Roger, I get nightmares because he gave me nightmares for so long. But Roger is all class. He acts the same way when no one is watching. I worry about a lot of people post-retirement; Roger is not one of them," he said in a video. US Open Tennis@usopenKind words on
