[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid just started at a Big3 for 9th and the summer reading was the Autobiography of Malcolm X.[/quote] A classic.[/quote] Exactly. But PPs insist that only white authors can write classics. Currently at Deal, 6th graders are reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry 7th graders are reading Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman 8th graders are reading Raisin in the Sun [/quote] Who insisted upon that?! No one, that’s who.[/quote] The first PP that said “The books they read at Deal are not particularly advanced. And for some reason all the books are about racism or minority groups being oppressed. Like every single book”. I’m sure they think Malcom X and Raisin in the Sun falls into the not advanced category.[/quote]
