        God forbid that kids in Mississippi be forced to think critically about racism and inequality in America.

        The people who pulled the book probably don't have an 8th grade reading level. As a native Mississippian, I can say that.

        There is nothing uncomfortable with the book. There is something wrong with our educators who don’t know how to deliver the message.

        What an incredible shame. The people that are uncomfortable by To Kill A Mockingbird are the ones that need it the most.

        Bama native. Relatives in MS. I hate that MS has to be called out on crap like this on a regular basis. Don't misunderstand my meaning.

        Yes, because "Reading and History" is Important. "My Mind Is Made Up, don't confuse me" Doesn't cut it.

        Do the teachers and 8th graders need a "safe space" from books too? No wonder the universities are full of these creatures.

        Interesting, my perception is conservatives don't want to face how blacks were treated, including the "n" word.
