Precisely. I agree. English class is where you should be exposed to classic literature, not film.
I'm also amazed at how quickly these so-called teachers include works in the canon. You have to give a novel at least 50 years to see if it's going to survive before you make it required reading in a classroom setting. To that end, Toni Morrison should still be merely a curiosity.
I'm sure these kids barely know Shakespeare.

Is it Toni or Tony?
http://63.220.28.231/booksal.html Just scroll down the page until you come to "Beloved." She isn't just a curiosity. She's a pornographer. Her books are on high school reading lists. That thing with the cows -- I'll never drink a glass of milk again.
What pretentious garbage.

Oh yeah, it is so much more important for the kids to read "I Know Why The Closeted Fag Lisps" and other such drivel.
