[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In all fairness TKAMB is taught in DCPS middle schools. That said, there is quite a range of literature being taught. The schools should be making sure the books covered are written from various point of views and are not a white wash of history or perspective. I remember my daughter reading a book that described slavery as a well intentioned institution that granted Africans subsequent citizenship. History can not be told from one side. [/quote] Yep, my kid is in DCPS and is reading TKAMB right now. But I guess it's okay since the teacher is black and the class is highly diverse. [/quote] +1 They also teach TKAM at our kids' extremely diverse charter school. Maybe just majority white private schools feeling guilty about reading it and trying to be "antiracist"? Diverse schools seem to be able to glean the important lessons from the story without offending anyone. [/quote]
