So I guess you want the teachers to be without apparel?

Because it doesn't. The book is an "historical novel" based loosely on the author's family experiences in an internment camp. It is on the order of The 1619 Project. That's the problem with it. Now, if it were added as a fictional book to a school library, I see no problem with it. Adding it as historical narrative or some historically accurate account should be reason to reject it same as with the The 1619 Project.

I understand perfectly. What teachers wear and bring to schools are personal effects. You open your mouth without thinking, even if you can think.

Many more progressive schools are already doing that. The aforementioned The 1619 Project is a perfect example. It is used in thousands of schools across the US as a history text even after being publicly discredited as fiction.

I know it is used as a resource and discussion topic. Same as the 1776 unites. I know multiple districts and use both to encourage critical thinking.

It was being used in an English class.

What does, "on the order of the 1619 project" even mean? A book about internment camps is likely going to be of interest for many students. It is relevant and part of our history.

Some of our history is amazing, some sucks. If these right wing extremist parents are going to challenge every book about history that isn't positive that is a joke.

The only way we will ever achieve our ideals and become a more perfect union is to understand what we got wrong.

This blind attack on a novel is just that, blind. It is ignorance and lazy. 10th graders need something to think about or they will disengage. If you put a bunch of America is perfect texts in front of them they will disengage and they will know it is BS and likely end up hating this country because they won't trust this country.

If parents really want a voice, ask for a copy of the book and read/discuss it with your child. Stop being lazy and ignorant.

As a fictional novel, that's fine. The Japanese internment was a poor thing in US history. Of course, the internment of Americans of German and Italian origins is overlooked.

I wonder why that is? No, I don't but I thought I'd toss it in.

Also note, that Japanese Americans that didn't live on the West Coast (eg., in California) weren't interned.

As a minor footnote to history, Japanese diplomats and other officials who had immunity and were to be repatriated to Japan were held here until that happened:



That's the Triangle T guest ranch in Dragoon Arizona. The location was selected by the government for its remoteness, proximity to a US Army base (Fort Huachuca AZ), and being next to a rail line. As you can see, it's still in operation today and you can stay in a cabin where the Japanese diplomats were held some 80 years ago.

Oh, by the by...

The Buddhist temple I attend was founded in Phoenix by Japanese-Americans after being released from internment camps here in Arizona.

You said progressive schools.

Will an example satisfy you?

[PostmodernProphet]

Alright, I see the perverts are going to avoid the OP and focus on family pictures as the debate.

aren't you the one who brought it up?.......you are derailing your own thread.....

Sure. It ought be fun.
