“ 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"

Is Blazing Saddles still acceptable?

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.

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.

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.

There is nothing new under the Sun. Here's a 1957 song from Stan Freberg that was PC before PC was cool.

The actual racism was not portrayed as morally right in the slightest.

We really should ban Brave New World because it makes fun of druggies and sluts.

The book was “Little Black Sambo”, not Mambo.

We should be demanding that the democrat party of slavery, the KKK, Jim Crow, etc should be outlawed permanently and no currently registered democrat should ever be allowed to vote for their racist party again.

The constitution guarantees freedom of speech and expression and if you don’t like that guarantee then you and your family should be moved to the country of your choice in Africa so that you can be “real” Africans. In that tribal paradise you will discover the real face of racism.

God forbid they use it as a teaching tool to show the evolution of thinking and trend from overt blatant racism in America. No, let's go with the trend of erasing history and literature instead of learning from it.

I'm sure works of Mark Twain are on this persons list and How many Disney cartoons have been banned or edited? How many works will she want banned because she doesn't deem them Black enough or put Whitie in a negative enough light?

The only positive racism is racism against the so called White race...........according to racists of color.
