To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee taken off Mississippi school reading list

To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee’s classic novel about racism and the American south, has been removed from a junior-high reading list in a Mississippi school district because the language in the book “makes people uncomfortable”.

Ya'll would laugh your faces off at the letters I've received challenging books over offensive content.

But it's your job to make sure left-wing books with material offensive to Christians, stays in the library so children have full access.

Got it.

so bigotry is now a rightwingnut trumptard mandate

It makes white people feel guilty for what they did to black people.

Mississippi, acknowledging that the truth hurts and trying to run from it. As always. If some student from Mississippi goes to college (unlikely) and doesn't know about To Kill A Mocking Bird, that student should be thrown out and sent back to his/her parents for an education. Mississippi is always the last in the class and this stupidity is the reason why. I feel very sorry for any kid growing up in the ignorant soup of that state.

They should do home schooling.

i ASSUME that it was parents who objected . If so it seems to me that its the parental RIGHT to object and then get removal of the book if they want it removed .

I love how all of you airheads are blaming librarians and teachers for this decision. I suggest reading the linked article. The decision was made by the school board, which is probably an elected body.

Perhaps the electorate will relieve them of the burden during the next election.
