Reply #35: they are not getting rid of ALL twain around the world as recall. these books would go to a school

[seabeyond]

of young aged children and encouraged to read. the south, that has race/bigot issues is trying to do something positive. young children will be made aware and possibly discuss the issue. they will be able to read the book.

in another threAD about finland schools being better than ours is a subthread about the reason WHY the scores are skewed. asian americans top of list. white american positioned fourth, above finland. showing it is not our schools that are not educating our children. mexican groups low on list and blacks lower.

i point that out and am called a racist

i want the black and other minority groups to be comfortable in their school environment. i want whatever needs to be done to help these kids.

and i really dont give a shit if the "pure" readers are appauled that a word was changed so these young students in the south can now read this book.

it. is. not. a. BIG. deal.

i love books. my kids have always had free access to all.....

and it doesnt bother me.
