Well it must be quite traumatizing for the young lady . Reading a book where everything is not sunshine and rainbows. Her little sisters might not have to suffer that nightmare .
It would have been a better book if it had a high speed chase and Boo Radley had superpowers.
Watch the original 'Lord of the Flies', if there isn't a 'lesser race' to torment they just start feeding on their own rather than park the racism. Identify the disease before looking for a cure.
Political Correctness has gotten out of hand and the worst offenders have somehow been permitted to shape young minds.
That in today's politically correct liberal mind-set the possibility of offending even one student is simply beyond the pale and therefore any material that doesn't fall within the narrow confines of their ideology is harmful and should be banned. Heaven forbid that students get the chance to read one of literature's classics, discuss it sensibly and be allowed to come to their own conclusions.
On paper that sounds alright, however, if it is bad teachers that are defining what the standards are there might be a tendency to invent a label called 'difficult student' rather than 'under-qualified teacher' as it should be.
Perhaps have the retired ones (65 max) should have schools be their pasture for a decade or longer if they like. They are less likely to bullshit 5the students than one who is just starting a career and has certain guidelines to follow if he wants that to happen.
I could go for it if it was to purge out the ones that got the facts wrong rather than it was in conflict with a flawed version of the way things happened. To make an event appear to be in a different place would not fit that parameter.
