[quote=Anonymous]I haven’t gone back to re-review the thread, but I don’t think anyone’s saying TKAM is an actively racist book. It’s just 60 years old and reflects views and language that are no longer relatable to today’s students, and some that are actively offensive. When we were students (late 1980s for me) there were plenty of books, songs, language and movies from the 1920s-40s that we recognized as no longer acceptable and would not have celebrated them. Gone with the Wind, Song of the South, Birth of a Nation, plus countless songs are examples. So why is it hard to accept that a book from 1960 might be problematic today?[/quote]
