 It was the only book we read that was actually interesting. Had a bunch of cool shit in it.

Then we read Kite Runner yeah that's what I want to read a story about a little Arab boy who got butt raped with a bunch of words locations and factions that I don't fucking understand in order to make me, a schoolchild, personally feel guilty about invading Afghanistan. 
 HOLES. DEADLY UNNA. SOME OTHER ABO SHIT. SOME SHIT ABOUT REFUGEES. SOME OTHER SHIT ABOUT REFUGEES. Bladerunner! SOME OTHER SHIT ABOUT REFUGEES. FILMS ABOUT WOMEN SUFFERING UNDER FOREIGN OPPRESSIVE CULTURES. FILMS ABOUT REFUGEES.

 Hey White man, do you want read To Kill a Mockingbird and learn how oppressed niggers are? 
 I still remember in my year 2 class, like 25 years ago, a poster in the room with kids of all sorts of different races on it holding up the word "Tolerance". School is brainwashing machine. 
 Imagine teaching all day and when you leave your classroom there's a gay straight alliance poster right outside your door 
 They used to have shit like that at my 95% White elementary school

At least they ALSO made me read the iliad and the odyssey and learn ballroom dancing, instead of only all that gay shit

 Yeah I went to one of those artsy schools as a kid, dance and drawing and playing the violin were mandatory curriculum 
 If my parents asked me if I wanted to go to one of those schools I would've told them it sounds gay as fuck but now that sounds awesome

 Every school child should read Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, to see the word ‘nigger’ used in a correct context in proper American English. 
 Unfortunately those were excised from the curriculum by the time I was in school

 Unfortunately the communists are running most everything now.  They've torn down all the Civil War monuments, so that as near as we can tell, Lincoln was a marauding mass murderer who sent his terrorist militia to burn down the south.
