Battles of the Past

So friends, here we give you a debate as to whether or not schools named after Confederate generals of the Civil War should change their names.  

The article that is going to be used is not available online for us to use, but there are hard copies of Current Events in Ned's room (maybe others', I'm not sure). Read the article 'Name Dropping' in the back of the zine, at the grand and large page seven.

Schools named after Civil War Confederate generals shouldn't change their names.

Tell me stuff...Go!

Why is the blog pink?

Beware!

Hallo, hallo, my brother droogs. 

Sorry, I'm in a rather Clockwork Orange mood. I'll stick to the slang of today. So here is your statement to agree or disagree with!

Parents should have the right to influence official district curriculum, including--but not limited to--literature. 

And here are your articles to viddy--look at, I mean.

For those of you lazy -- Wikipedia!

For those of you less so -- The Examiner!

For those of you interested -- The American Library Association's Most Commonly Challenged Books!

And for those of you local -- The Spokesman Review!

Agree? Disagree? Post it in the comments!

To Ban or Not To Ban, That is The Question!

When considering the appropriateness of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" as high school reading material, it might be interesting to read up on what's going on in Coeur d'Alene. Please read this article from the Spokesman Review on banning books and answer the following questions:

When, if ever, is it appropriate for schools to remove books from library shelves? With that in mind, do you feel the school board in Coeur d'Alene is doing the right thing by removing "Brave New World" from the reading list?
