        That's precisely why one should read it. If it makes you uncomfortable, you need to read more of it.

        Tragedy. Education cannot exist without conflict. If we all agree it is Orwellian. We need to be out of our comfort zone to evolve.

        It is one of my favorite books and movie! One I encourage people to read or watch! This book is the truth about America warts and all!

        Unlike you I'm not talking out of my ass! The Biloxi, Mississippi School District has banned the American classic To Kill a Mockingbird.

        Sounds like you’ve never read “To Kill a Mockingbird”. It’s not the liberals that are uncomfortable.

        Hello?! Sounds like when Texas took Native American history out of their curriculum entirely. Like the Indians never existed — #fail 👎🏽

        Our nation’s past should make us uncomfortable. We should learn from it and not sweep it under the rug.
