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. More than 5,000 schools nationally have had books barred from access by students in libraries and classrooms.
