Colored people don't like little black mambo! Burn it! White people don't feel good about uncle Tom's cabin. Burn it Some ones written about a book on tobacco and cancer of the lungs? The cigarettes people are weeping? Burn the book"

This parent is missing the whole point of To Kill A Mockingbird if she thinks it’s racist. I would guarantee she hasn’t read the book. Same with Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which is roundly denounced. Uncle Tom was NOT subservient, he was godly and he sacrifices his life at the end to save others. Never once did he bow and scrape — he was presented as courageous in the extreme. And as for TKAMB...one of the greatest civil rights books ever written. Such ignorance!

My opinion is that "one" parent shouldn't be able to dictate to the entire school, what's allowed or not.
This book is a classic. Needs to stay on the bookshelves.
The school officials need to tell this parent that it ain't going to happen.
Enough of the minority dictating to the majority.

Idiot doesn’t get the point of the book.

What will they do with THAT BOOK by Joseph Conrad, or those short stories of the South Seas by Russell? Jack London used “the word” in several of his short stories, and the dog in THE DAM BUSTERS, (GASP! the Horror!). Then there is the cat’s name in THE RATS IN THE WALLS by Lovecraft!

Even people in the comments section who abhor this event are dumb! The brutal novel Wuthering Heights is a chick book? If we don’t get our educational system under control, this country is going to slip into 3rd world status within my lifetime.
To: C19fan
Didn’t quite understand the book... wants it banned.
Perfect.

LOL! He DOES!
And the black guy looks like a member of the Nation of Islam. I bet he never even picked up a copy of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

Hey, add this one to the others . . Song of the South, Amos and Andy, etc. It’s absolutely madness that so few little minds can actually stop the huge, vast majority from enjoying these.
