[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason TKAM was dropped was because a bunch of kids complained about having to read the n-word in 8th grade English class. Yes, you got that right, read it silently. The discussions of the book were basically overwhelmed by kids saying that they were traumatized, language is violence, blah blah insert woke language here. A conversation about this issue devolved into accusations of racism and a race-to-the-bottom (no pun intended) of who was more woke among students. This is a general theme at SR (and other schools, from what I read); almost everything is now being framed in CT / antiracist / intersectional language. It's become a fetish and almost pseudo-religious, which is ironic at a Catholic school. This is most definitely cancel culture, no matter what the rationalizers say.[/quote]

Hardly surprising, considering they've been doing presentations on microaggressions to the Middle School for several years now. Everything is about what makes you feel "comfortable" or "uncomfortable", and as anyone who has had a Middle School aged child knows, they can decide to feel uncomfortable about anything.
