What are you talking about?  I never said not to assign The Bluest eye or invisible man.  We are talking about To kill a mockingbird which some peope think it is no longer worth reading.  I disagree.

Got it?[/quote]
Do you think that a book has to be assigned by school to be considered worth reading? Deciding not to read in this year's curriculum it does not mean anyone thinks it isn't worth reading.

I'm an AA woman and I think TKAM is a great book to assign - we can talk about all those things about it that are flawed and how thinking about race has evolved. I'm also happy not to assign it and instead delve into some of the hundreds of other great books.[/quote]

Let's face it pp.  Most parents are working and aren't going to force their 12 year old to read TKMB.  They wont have the time or energy.  Teachers can provide background and provide necessary talking points.

If schools don't assign it than most kids won't read it.  And that is a shame.[/quote]
