WOW THANKS FOR PSOTING THIS
I know you want an outrage circlejerk thread, but this is a good thing. It's a sub-par work, and there are very many better books to teach
Liam Walker
That's very strange because that book is a great way of showing how shit whites are which is what we need in this era of white supremacists going on tiki torch marches.
John Russell
agreed, instead they should be made to read Richardson's Clarissa and write a 90-page dissertation on the book-set them on a surefire path to becoming a patrician when they grow up
Nolan Hughes
Chase Torres
Good. There's better literature
Jonathan Jones
This.
If TKAM was written today it would be forgotten within a week and be considered nothing but pandering.

>it's a middle-class, suburban soccer moms don't want to be reminded about nasty moments in history episode
Robert Bennett
There are a million books which could take its place, but it's a role that needs to be filled.
Angel Peterson
I agree. I don't rate TKAMB particularly highly. But it's significant because of when it was written, surely.
Owen Brown
>If TKAM was written today
God, this utter brainletism.
>if wright brothers built their airplane today nobody would care
Fucking kill yourself at once.
Gabriel Hill
It has it's moments like some parts with Scout but honestly it doesn't really hold up particularly well by today's standards.
Caleb Long
>reading comprehension
lit really is filled with brainlets :^(
Joseph Robinson
I think TKAM is a book that should be read during history, if anything. Not the best book in the world by far but it does accurately portray America's past and our misdeeds.
Jonathan Diaz
when was the last time you booked a flight on the wright brothers' plane?
this, noone reads TKAM to learn how to write
Juan Torres
Who's Noone?
Jordan Nelson
This book is patriarchal and sexist.
The idea that a woman would make a false rape accusation is incredibly damaging to survivors of sexual assault.
Listen and believe.
Hunter Rivera
They should teach the Great Books of the Western World.
Thomas Hall
both her and the black man she had sex with are victims of the white supremacist patriarchy
Sebastian Moore
Agreed. Atticus Finch is the real villian. Also did anyone else get a fashy vibe from Boo Radley?
Sebastian Mitchell
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is way better to check the "Depression-era Jim Crow" box.
Logan Nelson
Boo Radley = autistic white man who never leaves his parents' house.
Probably has a whole trunk full of Japanese erotic drawings, Klan propaganda, and angry letters.
