To Kill A Mockingbird is MAGA propaganda and has no place in a serious society. No child in school should be forced to hear racial slurs spewed from the pages of some rich, hateful white woman's book, the kind of woman you'd see either on, or on her fat ass watching, Fox News. That it's set in the deeply problematic south is just icing on the MAGA cake.
No thanks, go suck off your precious D*nald and bow to putin while the parents whose kids have actual futures can pick up Diary of a Wimpy Kid instead.

What about that Watchman book she wrote? Would it be a better choice? We can't just take her off the curriculum

I had to read this in an Australian public school
That was the moment I realised how totally Americanised we are

>the compulsory reading curriculum is about ideological indoctrination rather than literary value

Mind blown! I never would have guessed.

they regularly lynched people for being black. What is wrong with depicting reality?
>>
>>24713295
>they regularly lynched people for being black
no they didn't.

>>24713295
No, they regularly lynched cattle thieves, some of whom were black

>>24713318
No they were TND enthusiasts

There was usually a dead white man or raped white woman involved.

As a kid, I was scared of Boo Radley. Not I'm in my thirties and live just like him and the kids in the neighborhood probably think of me that way.
It's the circle of life.

It should be banned for being on the wrong side of the class war

I saw a Family Guy episode where this happens
>>
>>24713388
The entire book was basically a white flag by the southern elites that threw the southern proles under the bus and kissed the ring of the yankee elites while saying "you see, we always wanted to do what you guys wanted to do with the south, but we just couldn't push anything through the Heart of Darkness tier redneck white trash, they're basically not even human as far as civilization is concerned"
>>
>>24713165
Funny, the left wants it banned because it is a white savior narrative. If it makes leftoids and rightoids seethe this much it must be based.
>>
Both sides screeching autistically about the blandest "don't be a prejudicial cunt" book and wanting to ban it just makes it seem like it's the only book most Americans have ever heard of.

They did. And if you let them, they will start it again.

Yeah the narrative the book pushes, that the most destitute people with no influence were somehow holding the South hostage, is ridiculous and deserves scorn.
>>
>>24713184
They released that one because Atticus became a raging racist and thought it would destroy the so-called "white saviour" trope during peak Obama/proto-BLM.

yes reading low iq prose should be punishable by public lynching

>>24713796
This is why they pushed dispensationalism so hard in the south

Yes, an immensely harmful ideology. We all just watched a woman get turned into a pez dispenser because she held to that ideology.

This totally doesn't represent the truth. Lincoln was in bed with the railroad barons who were all kikes. And the railroads predominantly went through the south. The south were also the producers of all textiles and agriculture and were being kicked by tarrifs from the north.
>>
It's also about a white girl who fucks niggers, but is too oppressed by southern white men to actually be open about it.

I did a book report on it in the 8th grade, didn't read it and wrote it based off the synopsis on the dust cover. Got a B-, but my teacher, who was some kind of black supremacist who wore african print dresses and refused to shave her armpits, hated me and treated me poorly afterwards. I actually read it as an adult and realized I never once mentioned racism in the report. That B was probably given begrudgingly because it was likely the best formatted and contained the least amount of grammatical errors among the retarded "drop out prevention" boom-boom room classes I was forced into for behaving badly in school.

I have no idea what that picture is asserting, I read about Leo Frank on wikipedia just now. The KKK in the meme likes Leo Frank? They dislike him?
>>
>>24714036
The Jews tried to pin Frank's murder on blacks, even the KKK didn't buy it, and the nogs were upset that an innocent black janitor was attempted to be used at a scapegoat, so there was a sense of both whites and blacks of having common ground on the issue.

they're planning on remaking the movie but setting it in modern times, North Carolina, and instead of a supposed rape of a white woman it's going to be about how a mentally ill black guy, the real victim of an uncaring society, killed a privileged white woman refugee whose ancestors were slave owners (like all white people are) on a public transit bus.

Oh, look, now the Yankees are doing it.

What did Harper Lee mean by this?

Once again people are complaining about interpretations of books and the poor pedagogy of the book rather than it's literary merit, probably the most /lit/ thing that nu /lit/ does. I mean if you cannot trust teachers to teach a book's merits without devolving into political caricature, you might as well stop teaching the book. I wouldn't go so far as what Mike "Gorilla Mindset" Cuckovich says, and even that the book deserved some literary merit, but there are far more valuable books to teach than Mockingbird. Even of American ones it's not even top 10.

Under the torture of the rack could you not draw that kind of confession out of me. What compels people to tell on themselves like this?
>>
>>24713165
And to mock rape victims, to say that white women want to be raped. This is a huge constant in the left. The only equivalent on the right is Ayn Rand.
>>
>>24714341
The true story that inspires the book: victim was white with a messed up arm and the people who killed him were black.
>>
>>24714042
By "Frank's murder" do you mean "the murder that Frank committed" or do you mean "the murder of Leo Frank"?
>>
>>24713491
Anyone who has actually read To Kill A Mockingbird will tell you that it's boring and bland. There's nothing there to criticize or provoke in it. There's barely any artfulness to it at all, same with Fahrenheit 451. The Outsiders has 50x more soul and art than both of those books combined and it's a young adult novel written by a teenage girl.
