I have become disgusted. The public school I go to puts books in its english cirriculum that are blatantly anti-American. That's fine that people hate America. But those who have a rather positive view of America deserve to say their point of view too. Right now, kids are barraged with stories of how much America fucks the poor, uses racism and prejudice to make people worse off, and how Americans' greed corrupts them. I think kids at my school should hear the other point of view. The one that says that America has done a lot for a lot of people, especially immigrants (a common theme in the books, though EVERY SINGLE ONE of them shows immigrants worse off when they come to America). As a result, I am writing a letter to my school board asking for a more diverse set of books for the cirriculum. Excuse me if this information has been vague so far, I am going to point out every single thing I am talking about in my letter. However, I also want to include a reccomended set of books that I might encourage to be included as a solution. Any ideas? The theme for my year is American history, so keep that in mind. Also, they ahve to be semi-classical works of literature. Larry Elder's Ten Things You Can't Say in America might be good, but it doesn't really fit what they are looking for. I haven't thought about it much, but so far all I have come up with is an Ayn Rand book, because she loved America and especially capitalism...Any ideas?
