They are indeed. I've read all of those books. Many were required reading.

My husband and I laughed when we saw that 1984 was listed. Imagine, they don't want anyone to know the truth. Most won't look for the copyright. 1984 is proof that liberals/progressives are trying to hide the truth. LOL.

All of these can be read without a degree in literature. I can say that a few of them would be challenges for people who aren't interested in the great messages they bring out.

I had a third grader who read Huckleberry Finn under the guidance of his teacher Mom. He did well and passed the Accelerated reader test on it.

I read To Kill a Mockingbird every year. I'm amazed at the clarity it provides regarding the evils of Jim Crow. The revelations of right and wrong. I'd hire Boo Radley if I could!

Hiding history from students in books such as Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer will not help young people understand from which we have come. The feministas hate Jane Eyre. Little Women and Little House on the Prairie. It's a point of view that many don't share, but many Christians applaud. This reminds me of Josh's statement To CJ on the West Wing. He called her a "Paranoid, Berkley, Shih Tzu, Feminista" I loved it. But I digress.


It's all about hiding something others don't want you to know about. Shameful. These are the reasons that Johnny can't read, write and utterly fails at history. Grade inflation is because no one demands anything of these readers.

As long as I am a teacher, I will support the readings of these books with parental involvement.

Thanks for sharing your opinion.

With Wuhan fru, many students never logged in and many dropped out.

My wife taught gifted in classes in the lowest scoring school in the district. The poor students had no parent involvement. The gifted teachers knew their student's parents. So one year the principal before school started, gave teachers a list and sent them to knock on the doors, say high to the parents. It worked . More parents got involved.

That is a great story. I'll bet many of those parents felt more connected to the organized community as a result of that policy, and more empowered to positively impact their kids education. That level of connection to (rather than estrangement from) their community is really important.

Speaking of parent involvement. With kids attending homeschool/online blended learning, parents saw a lot of material the schools didn't want parents to know about. Political content/

I don't see Gone With The Wind on there. My personal fav and it is still culturally relevant no matter what they say which is mostly opinion by illiterates. I asked a couple of young teachers if they ever read any Mary Shelly and they did not know who she was. If you are a female teacher and do not know anything about Mary Shelly and Frankenstein novel then it calls into question the actual value of their degree. There are other authors like Hermon Melville. All anyone has to do is quiz the teacher about what they read or have read in college. How can they discount books they have not read?

They move 1984 over to the syllabus of civic Praxis. Practical implementation that sort of thing.
