> I wonder if one of the kids in that school mentioned (for the sake of argument, in an appropriate setting like a discussion group) that they had read this book at home, how well received that would be? Probably received just fine. Nobody is saying kids shouldn't read this book. They're saying its a misleading depiction of racial history, and therefore is a bad teaching tool.
