There are enough Multi Cultural ideals being directed at my child everywhere else he looks, I object to childrens books being used to force feed them with politically correct thinking, though I am quite sure when my child goes to school this is exactly the sort of rubbish he will be fed on. Politics of ANY sort should not be part of a young childs reading list - Political Correctness, Racism, Religion... all about forcing yours or somebody elses ideals on to children and it really, really stinks. Why do we have to try and brainwash them, teach to be critical, logically thinking people and they should be able to work out for themselves what is right and wrong.

I think children and adults could benefit from reading any book. These would be good teachings for our American culture.

MAKING kids read books they don't want to read is a very good way to put kids off reading. Allowing them to discover their own likes and dislikes with very gentle, guided nudging produces avid readers. I read almost none of the books I was assigned to read in high school (garbage like 1984, and Siddhartha), but outside of school, I was such an avid reader I almost got hit by a car once, crossing the street in front of the library, my nose buried deep in Bulfinch's.
