She says a lot of people are having fun finding new titles for Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea" which presents problems with every word except "and" and "the." Ravitch said old is ageist, man is sexist and sea can't be used in case a student lives inland and doesn't grasp the concept of a large body of water.

Very, very sad.

I saw that episode, she said like you cant tell a stry about a black man whos a great athelete, because its a stereotype, or you cant talk about a woman who washes dishes for her husband and became a hero, because its a stereotype. Thats messed up shit right there

I hate text books now a days. They are toooo P.C. ALthough I found a pic in a math book of these 3 rich white kids (1 guy two blonde girls naturally!) drinking lemonade. Below them at their feet were 4 black kids digging a trench and sweating their asses off.
