I love this book and I read it with my 11th grade American literature students every year. I'm sure they will be talking about this and I will have to address the situation diplomatically. Every time I read the book I am more convinced that it is a very conservative novel. Harper Lee mocks John Dewey's public school overhaul and Atticus Finch does not get angry at what today would be considered hate speech.
