[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't read this whole thread, but has anyone pointed out that To Kill a Mockingbird has been removed from required reading in a very liberal district?

[quote]According to the Seattle Times, the Mukilteo School Board voted unanimously Monday night to remove Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird” from the required reading list for ninth graders while still allowing for teachers to choose to teach the classic novel to students.

The board acted after months of discussion among teachers, parents and students, and in reaction to concerns over racism in the classic novel, first published in 1960.[/quote]

I think there a conflation of books in the curriculum vs books in school libraries (i.e. book banning). Whether or not a particular book is to be taught as part of the curriculum can be debatable.  I hope all can agree that removing books from libraries is not a good thing.[/quote]

Are you saying there are no books that don't belong in a school library?

Whatever happened to personal choice? When it comes to mask wearing Republicans like to say their personal freedom and liberty is at stake, but when it comes to a book that they are free to instruct their own kids to not read seem very concerned with protecting everyone else from WORDS.

Pay attention to what your kids read and talk to them about it but stay the F out of mine and my kids rights. You don't mind telling your kids not to wear masks so just tell them not to read a book that offends you. [/quote]
