in school they did teach that "they beleive they need to pray to mecca five times a day" and i'm not saying i approve i'm just saying that the way they taught it was openminded and not very offensive. being forced to read books that go on and on about religion does offend me though, such as to kill a mocking bird. and the un tries to do things but its not powerful enough, but at least it makes good decisions so stop fukking whining about it and become more proactive to empower the un.

To Kill a Mockingbird went on and on about religion? I thought it went on and on about the parenting skills of that nice Atticus.

Here is what I remember from most of the English books read in school:
Red Scarf Girl - Communism is evil. Shabanu - Men/Tradition is evil. The Pearl - Wealth is evil. Night - Nazis are evil. Lord of Flies - People are evil. Mockingbird - Rednecks are evil. Mango House - I'm a poor Mexican with a sucky life. Mice and Men - Life sucks. Bean Trees - Men and/or Sex sucks. Western Front - War sucks. Beloved Country - Segragation Sucks. Bless Me Ultima - Childhood sucks. Romeo and Juliet - Love/pre-marital sex kills.

I kind of liked red scarf girl too. It was among my more prefered books in school, but I probably would not read it on my own.
