Shelley, I believe you and am just disgusted by what you're saying. I can live with the book being present in high school libraries. Making it required reading seems so odd to me though. There are literally hundreds of examples of fine American literature for teenagers to study without requiring them to read such extreme profanity. I am surprised that some of the parents do not object, and I wonder if they are aware of what their children are being required to read. I am feeling very glad I don't allow my daughter to go to public school. I just wish I didn't have to support it with my tax dollars.
