[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My two kids have not read it in any class.[/quote] It has fallen out of favor because of the white savior narrative.[/quote] Yeah, I think the curriculum in many places—not just MCPS—has shifted toward reading about racism and/or oppression from the perspective of the people it’s inflicted upon. [b]Although I graduated from HS in 1900[/b], took advanced/AP classes all through middle and high school, did an English minor in college, and I’ve never read TKAM. Sometimes I feel like I have, because it used to be so ubiquitous; and people seem to love the movie as well. I guess that’s why I’ve never felt the need to read it (or watch the movie).[/quote] Well there's your problem right there, the book came out when you were 78.[/quote]
