Here’s Why Folks Are Calling Title of David Hogg’s Book Not Only Clueless, but Shameful
Parkland high school student David Hogg and his sister have scored a major book deal expounding on “the birth of a new movement,” but have created controversy before it is even released.
Hogg, the media darling of the student anti-gun movement since the mass shooting at his Florida school in February, has teamed with his sister Lauren book deal with Random House, the publisher announced Wednesday.
The planned book, “#NEVERAGAIN: A New Generation Draws the Line,” is being described as “a statement of generational purpose, and a moving portrait of the birth of a new movement.”

But while Hogg has made waves with his incendiary rhetoric and his calls for boycotts against pro-gun companies as well as Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, who hurt his feelings by tweeting about his college rejection letters, it is the title of the upcoming book that has ignited the latest backlash.
Are you really going to use the name never again? You need to educate yourself on what that term was used for, what it means, and the people it represents.

Shame on you for using something that has been to remember the Holocaust for over 50 years and you've hijacked it. Shame on you and shame who on anyone who supports you. Could you not have invented something that was unique to this situation? Or are you not smart enough to?
