A Washington school board votes to drop To Kill a Mockingbird from reading list

  • "I had a visceral reaction to the racism in the book and I can only imagine the pain and despair that any student might experience while reading it in class," board member Judy Schwab said

    Which is why it’s required reading.

    Seriously, learning about the history of racism in the US should make you feel revulsion so you don’t keep it going.

  • I took the liberty of changing the original title a little bit. IMO, the original was slightly ambiguous and clickbaity: "Schools Drop 'To Kill A Mockingbird' From Reading List After Race Complaint"
