[quote=Anonymous]This thread is exhausting. When I read TKAM in 8th grade at SR, the book was less than 30 years old and highly culturally relevant to how we talked about race. It’s a good book, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not the most relevant or even important piece of literature written since 1960. It just isn’t. It’s a great read but our kids, in 2021 deserve better and there is plenty better out there that will tell diverse stories reflective of the world we live in. Honestly, the whole US literature curriculum is distressingly close to what it was 30+ years ago. There have been improvements and the girls are certainly being taught to read and write critically but they should absolutely be introduced to more diverse voices.[/quote]
