Vanessa A. Shafer@orionkidder @WildTypeWriter @starbreaker @crcollins @allisonwyss @joyce @adaddinsane It's definitely biased in favour of the canon of dead white men. What's sad is that as society and school populations become more diverse, the assigned texts don't reflect that.
@orionkidder @WildTypeWriter @starbreaker @crcollins @allisonwyss @joyce @adaddinsane Here in America I think schools cling to that particular canon because it's easier, safer in a way. There's nothing to make a majority of students uncomfortable. There's nothing that parents could find objectionable. It's an approach that isn't going to serve students well at all.

Oh there's lots to find objectionable in all of it. It's just who it is finding it so and how hard you're looking for it.
@allisonwyss @orionkidder @WildTypeWriter @starbreaker @crcollins @joyce @adaddinsane I stand corrected then ☺️
