3The Department of Education of the government of Puerto Rico recently eliminated five books from the eleventh grade curriculum of the public school system: Antología personal, by José Luis González; El entierro de Cortijo, by Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá; Mejor te lo cuento: antología personal, by Juan Antonio Ramos; Reunión de espejos, an anthology of essays edited by José Luis Vega (all Puerto Rican authors); and Aura, by Carlos Fuentes from Mexico.Ny Ministeran'ny Fampianaran'ny governemantan'i Porto Rico dia nanala boky dimy amin'ny fandaharam-pianaran'ny taona faha-11 ao amin'ny rafi-pampianaran'ny sekolim-panjakana: Antología personal, nosoratan'i José Luis González; El entierro de Cortijo, nosoratan'i Edgardo Rodríguez Juliá; Mejor te lo cuento: antología personal, nosoratan'i Juan Antonio Ramos; Reunión de espejos, fantina fanadramana navoakan'i José Luis Vega (Puerto Rican ireo mpanoratra rehetra); ary Aura, nosoratan'i Carlos Fuentes avy any Meksika.
4The public agency justified its action by saying that the books “contain unacceptable language and vocabulary, which is extremely coarse and vulgar.”Nentin'ny masoivohom-panjakana ho fanamarinana ity hetsika nataony ity ny filazana fa hoe “nahitana fomba fiteny sy voambolana tsy azo ekena, izay tena manompa sy tsy mahalala fomba” ireo boky.
5The governor of Puerto Rico, Luis Fortuño, supported the decision: “I think I have been very clear, and that all of the mothers and fathers out there understand perfectly that the books that an 18-year-old can read should not be read by a 12-year-old.”Ny governoran'i Porto Rico, Luis Fortuño, dia nanohana ilay fanapahan-kevitra: “Mieritreritra aho fa nazava tsara ny teniko, ary ireo ray aman-dreny rehetra dia mahazo tsara fa ireo boky azo vakian'ny olona feno 18 taona dia tsy tokony hovakian'ny olona 12 taona.”
6Numerous writers and artists in Puerto Rico publicly voiced their concerns and described the government's action as censorship.Maro ireo mpanoratra sy mpanakanto any Porto Rico no naneho ankarihary ireo olan-dry zareo ary nitsara ny fanapahan-kevitry ny governemanta ho sivana.
7The Federation of Teachers also condemned the decision and stated that it “reflects ignorance about the social reality that our students live in, and a backward-looking vision of modern literature as part of the academic curriculum.”Manameloka ilay fanapahan-kevitra koa ny Federasionan'ny mpampianatra ary milaza fa “mampiseho ny tsy fahalalana momba ny zava-misy ara-tsosialy iainan'ireo mpianatsika izany, sy fijery ambany ny literatiora maoderina ho ampahany amin'ny lamin'asa akademika.”
