[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Very interesting discussion overall. I appreciate the input from all sides.

My primary point isn’t that TKAM absolutely must be read by all students though, but concern that SR was willing to drop it for such superficial reasons. Much better reasons for dropping TKAM were provided in this discussion. As a SR parent I’m worried about what other ways the curriculum might be changed in such a thoughtless manner to kowtow to the most extreme of the woke crowd. [/quote]

Do you think that curricula reach a point of classical perfection and should never be altered subsequently? That one set of teachings will serve society forever and ever? If you do, you have a problem in today's world.

Those changes are inevitable; each one will have fans and detractors.  If you want a specific frozen POV style of instruction, find a school that promises and delivers that.  The vast majority of schools and educators will not be in that business. What you think is too woke won't be new enough for other parents sitting next to you at school meetings.

Your option is to vote with your feet and your checkbook.
