Especially at the highschool level.
Guess that means I better get rid of my Richard Pryor albums, huh?
Especially Huckleberry Finn. Twain took no prisoners in that novel.
But of course, "The Vagina Monologues" is acceptable reading......
I am on disability for back surgeries in the last two years
going to school for vocational rehab
I have to take over Lit and Comp because the school I am in doesnt accept my previous Comp courses as equivalent
Anyways, yesterday was day one
Our syllabus included watching and commenting on BROKE BACK MOUNTAIN, PERSEPOLIS : http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=h1&oq=back%20to%20black%20ending%20internalized%20racism&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGIC_enUS220US220&q=persepolis+%2b+lesbian
and other “Gender” issues
Other writers included someone named bell, who wrote so much anti-white stuff it was sickening just to google his comments: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&aq=h3&oq=persepolis%20+%20lesbian&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGIC_enUS220US220&q=back+to+black+ending+internalized+racism
also, in one of the required readings of the lit book, the author said that 4 hypothetical understandings of Hawthorne's SCARLETT LETTER were Hester Pryne’s liberation, Hawthorne's bourgeoisie (sp?) attitudes and hidden emotions from some Freudian author
complete and total indoctrination
I went and dropped the course and transferred to another course I needed for graduation
Freudian typo.
The teacher in question is theoretically male.
As a former high school English teacher, I'd like to remind you that generalizations are almost always wrong. Literally thousands of students can thank me for introducing them to Ayn Rand (Anthem), the major founding documents of our nation and even Dr. Thomas Dooley.
Lee, Steinbeck and especially Twain are American writers: therefore, they are part of American Literature. I agree there are many teachers who are "too big for their britches," but I'm sure there were parents who hated that I taught Catcher in the Rye too.
I suspect the idiot who came up with the idea of banning novels of historical and literary significance would be just as arrogant if he taught physics or physical ed.
No big surprise here; those “sanitization” policies worked great for Stalin.
Just those? Let’s not forget Thomas Wolfe and William Faulker and Ernest Hemingway.......
If this were done, I wonder if Hussein would be proud of the fact that books are being banned in his “honor”?
Well they need to get all those rap songs off the little heathens MP3 players if that’s a problem.
I know old black ladies and gentlemen that laugh with a loving glint in their eye when ignorant vile people use it to attempt to belittle their kind. However, is the English teacher willing to let us completely remove all blacks from society that refer to each other on the street every day that call each other 'nigger'??
Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird
Great book, and one of my all time favorite movies.
The liberal Gregory Peck was superb in that film.
5***** stars
Ahhh, the finer points of today’s education system...suppressing information, inhibiting learning, teaching propaganda rather than fact. Makes me so proud of our schools.
I hated Catcher in the Rye, AND Catch 22. They spoke nothing to me, especially when the teacher was telling me how the protagonist in Catcher was “obviously brilliant, a genius” and how Yossarian was more of a patriot than anyone else in Catch 22.
Bravo Sierra on her, but good on you for introducing your students to literature of depth.
Colonel, USAFR
For the good of all citizens, both great and small, The Great "O" cast out the evil regime, banishing them from any further evil influence upon the peaceful people of this Nation and the entire world forever.
Citizens of the world:
All Praise the "O"
From him all good things flow.
He is good, He is great.
May his divine face shine upon us all.
So full of themselves."
Not ALL of us...
If we are going call anything or anyone "irrelevant", can we begin with Biden, Pelosi and Reid? That would be a great start.
Um, have to get rid of a bunch of “popular” music as well.
