I wonder if the alums who complained about it being a cesspool really had that kind of a hard life by going to a $45000 a year school. Must have been straight out of “The Blackboard Jungle” or “Up the Down Staircase” or “Stand and Deliver”.

Plenty of better private schools in LA I suspect, if you can afford 45k

“...classic modern American literature like To Kill a Mockingbird and the Lord of the Flies.”

William Golding was British.

...classic modern American literature like To Kill a Mockingbird and the Lord of the Flies.

Lord of the Flies is not American and neither of these books is a classic.

Nevertheless, both books were scrapped from the school's curriculum for their use of the N-word. A parent with the Black Family Association developed a Powerpoint presentation that included slides that read their children would think 'I must be inferior to other people because I was a slave once,' and that the N-word 'must be OK to use' if they read the books.

So these Black Family Association parents must be very strictly policing their children's phone and internet use, music and friends.

Anti-racism has nothing to do with it the same old utopia socialism propaganda must hide history to rewrite it.

A $45,000-a-year school in Los Angeles is locked in a struggle with parents as administrators push for a more progressive curriculum that excludes classic modern American literature like To Kill a Mockingbird and the Lord of the Flies.

Uh, William Golding was British.

To Kill a Mockingbird may have originally been an anti-racist book that taught children to stand up to racist mobs, to view people based on their character and not prejudice, and that everyone is entitled to justice and being presumed innocent until proven guilty based on evidence. But those are all considered White Supremacist in this stage of the cultural revolution.

Lord of the Flies is a pacifist book, which teaches children to stand up to mobs, to work together, appreciate differences, and seek peaceful solutions. This is all White Supremacy according to the Left today. We are in a cultural revolution
