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.

What the heel kind of name is Tujama Kameeta and just WHEN did she get to the USA? No way is that a name of an American...unless she changed it to "sound more authentic"; just don't ask "authentic" of what. ;^)

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD is usually a middle school book.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is hardly a "chick" book!

Control of education has long ago been surrendered to the faaaaaaaaaaaaaar left and even in the most elite/best private schools, the best of Western Lit classics/masters ( European and American ) is hardly ever taught/read now; sadly.

COMMIE CORE prescribed reading Obama's speeches ( GOD save us !), during his first term and ignored most books and speeches older than 5-10 years.

Back before the flood, when I was in school, reading lists, even in what is now called "middle school", were at a much higher level than what most places now require in high schools. Older books were written with a higher vocabulary, better grammar, and insights than the current crap. So of course they MUST be banned. Can't have anything that smacks of "WHITE PRIVILEGE"...don'tcha know.

Agreed. And fast.
