#568 Musings Beyond the Bunker (Friday January 27)

Good morning, TEACHING BEGINS AT HOME I continue to be confused by the cultural warfare being fought on the fields of K-12 school curriculum. Perhaps naively, I always have trusted that educators would make good decisions in choosing books that engage students and improve their reading and analytical skills. Hopefully these books would have literary merit. I would expect that these books would be analyzed in depth and discussed with classmates. One expects that children come home and speak with their parents and siblings about some of the themes of the literature. To be clear, I have not always seen eye-to-eye with teachers’ choices, as I think some great works of the canon are being discarded by some literature (but not all) of lesser quality—but in the end they are choices of the educators and need not be the same as mine.
