[quote=Anonymous]When I taught AP Literature I assigned The Bluest Eye, which includes child sexual abuse. I had a student and their parent complain that it was too upsetting. The school was prepared to back me up . . . these were seniors in a college level course being assigned Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, etc. But ultimately as a human being I had to say, you know what, I get it . . . this is a tough book. The student was more than willing to read a different book, so that's what we did. I would encourage my child to talk to the teacher and ask if she can read an alternate book. [/quote]
