Should we re-evaluate our classics?

And it should include books that allow them to see through the eyes of a variety of people. People with varying backgrounds, races, religions, sexual orientations. The books on public school reading lists, in my opinion, should be used to turn students into global citizens and friends to all of humanity, not just people who look like. Do you think we need to reevaluate our classic reading list? How and why

Classic reading lists have been the same for some time. Is it time for a change? #literature #books #socialjustice #education

I refused to read the assigned books in high school for this reason

As a high school student, I can definitely say that it would have been a lot more valuable for me when I was a high school student to read stories is that we're more in alignment with my own experiences
