Did the person who started this petition even read To Kill a Mockingbird? And if so, did he/she just lack the reading comprehension skills needed to understand the novel?
It also states "this book contains adult themes such as sexual intercourse, rape, incest …" It contends that the book's use of racial slurs promotes "racial hatred, racial division, racial separation and promotes white supremacy."
Yea, that is what this novel does. If you read it when you are on crack.

I sometimes wonder if these anonymous attempts to ban books from a school's curriculum, are really being covertly orchestrated by English Lit teachers.
If so, it's a brilliant move, since kids will actually read books that people don't want them to read.
