"More recent versions of "Lord of the Flies" have modified some of the language in the book, but the novel originally used racist terms, particularly when referring to Black people. Bullying is rampant throughout the book—indeed, it is one of the main plot lines. Many people also think that the book promotes a pro-slavery ideology, which they note is the wrong message to teach children."

The irony of being angry about the Harry Potter books while it's okay to teach the Bible stories is lost on them.

Could be. Classic books must be a required reading.

What's hilarious is that some of those classic books teach partially about CRT.

No not by wokesters, fucktard. By conservatives that don't want stories of naked little boys being mandatory in the school system.

They're all white..well mostly.. no racism found.

How would you know, if you've never read the book and aren't interested in it?

In the midst of a raging war, a plane evacuating a group of schoolboys from Britain is shot down over a deserted tropical island. Two of the boys, Ralph and Piggy, discover a conch shell on the beach, and Piggy realizes it could be used as a horn to summon the other boys. Once assembled, the boys set about electing a leader and devising a way to be rescued. They choose Ralph as their leader, and Ralph appoints another boy, Jack, to be in charge of the boys who will hunt food for the entire group.

It's common sense that FL school boards would not allow stories with naked little boys running around on a deserted island for high school classes, dumbass.

Is that why you like it so much?
