    A Belfast student has called for Of Mice and Men to be removed from the GCSE English literature course. Angel Mhande raised concerns about racial slurs used in the book, including the N-word.

    Professor of American literature at Queen’s University Belfast Philip McGowan said teachers needed more detailed guidance on how to teach Of Mice and Men.
