As a matter of fact, wasn’t “To Kill A Mockingbird,” the story of a man being falsely accused of murder on the basis of racism? Maybe the teachers can find a useful lesson here.

No.

Close, but not exactly. The accuser was the victim's father, and the beating that the victim received had actually come from the accuser. In order to cover up his crime, he accused a black man of raping and beating his daughter and forcing her to go along with it because he knew that the public would be on his side.

Then, after the black man was basically proven innocent by the defense, he was still found guilty by the jury, and then killed while trying to escape.

But, as you said, there still could very well be a useful lesson there.
