Liberal professors? That crap oozed down into the high schools. My American Lit class was nothing but propaganda.

I am guessing Native Son was included.

Native Son works as a thought experiment. Wright really did predict a now common prototype of the disaffected, violent young black male.

he wrote All My Sons, right?

Thought it was good. Greed should never put our armed forces in danger but i bet it does.

Death of a Salesman shows the successful geeky neighbor and shows the devastating effect cheating on a spouse can have.

Spoiling kids ends badly.

The Crucible, definitely a reference to the McCarthy ere, is a good book with a good lesson.

If you go overboard people start to distrust you.

I think he mistakenly made some very good points and there are far worse books when it comes to left wing writing.
