Any teacher who reads "The Giver" to children should be shot.

Not sure why you feel this way, its standard reading fair for middle school... in my day we read Farenheight 451 which had similar themes but was not written specifically for kids.

I am not sure why anyone would find “The Giver” overly offensive.

Could you elucidate further? Right now, I can’t understand why you’d sy that.
