[quote=Anonymous]My kids were in DCPS and so read a lot of diverse fiction (almost exclusively) and talked a lot about race in the U.S., and also were in book clubs reading Ghost Boys, Just Mercy (youth version), etc. But TKAM really sparked the conversations about race, justice, perceptions based on fear, social roles and rules, personal ethics, author bias, etc. Of all the books, this one really seemed to make the kids think hard. There is just something about it that really gets under kids' skin. It is one of many books in the curriculum; not the only book. I think it still has a place in a well-rounded curriculum. [/quote]
