That’s okay, I flunked an 11th grade essay for saying Huckleberry Finn was NOT racist.
I had an angry black liberal teacher...she wanted us to right a report describing how racist and offensive the book is. I presented a counterpoint just for fun. I knew I was going to fail.
A student should never fail for an opinion, only for the ability to present their view and for their writing (grammar etc if applicable). I hate when teachers do that. Turns so many kids off of literature, English and such.
Sounds like you and I walk the same line in reasoning!
Stay the course.
That’s what you get in modern America. Instead of a multiplicity of correct answers, you get the doctrinaire leftist answer.
