HILTON, N.Y. (WHEC) Some parents are raising concern over a Hilton High School lesson plan about reading the book To Kill a Mockingbird. What most concerned the parent who contacted us were the words displayed in her son's classroom. https://www.whec.com/rochester-new-york-news/n-word- used-in-hilton-high-school-lesson-plan-for-to-kill-a-mockingbird/6247295/ --- Dolphins are people too! https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1404-cetacea-cove ...

Tbqh when I was in high school, and they gave us "the talk" about racial slurs appearing in some of these old books it felt really unnecessary. We were old enough by that point to understand historical context and why those words were used the way they were. The time period of the books themselves makes it make sense.

Wow. I'm an English teacher, so it's cool to see the district back the teachers.
Nothing inappropriate here. We use The Sound and the Fury and All American Boys, both of which use racial slurs and curse words all the time. --- Official Fujin of the Mortal Kombat 11 board. Trails of Cold Steel is the most underappreciated JRPG series ever. ... Copied to Clipboard!

So should the book be edited to remove offensive words before being allowed in schools?

I remember not knowing what the word meant when I was 10 and the teacher had to tell me, including saying the word. And she told to the class not to say it, especially at home lol

Very good that the district backs the teachers here. Very ignorant of the parents to raise such a fuss about it. School is for learning. Reading a book that tackles tough subject matter is one of the best ways to approach said subject matter. Especially one written in the early 60s when racial issues were extremely prevalent.
