        So foolish, as a middle school teacher I had my classes read Harper Lee’s Mocking Bird and watch the original Roots to show them how prejudice and bigotry are unjust. These students are missing a valuable opportunity to learn through great literature. Talk about a #WhiteWash...

        We've gotten to the point of school districts being the censure for us & our children? If you don't want to read it, don't. If you want to be amazed by American literature, read on & be amazed. If you are easily offended by era verbiage, then stay away from Twitter, Instagram...

        These are CLASSIC reads! Get OFF the “RACIAL SLURS” crap! U CANNOT & MUST-NOT get rid of history, just bc someone may get offended! Media doesn’t help the racial issue ANY! When crimes occur, NEVER use color of skin in report...a person is a person, no MATTER THE COLOR!

        Yeah, let's ignore literature that educates about racism. Dumbasses. That doesn't protect it drains intellect and reality.

        Parents in that district - take note. Sex Education is also banned in many school districts, but I taught my children at home using a banned book, "It's Perfectly Normal". Kids don't learn only from teachers/school.pic.twitter.com/6mreySrzn9
