The terminology in this novel subjects students to humiliating experiences that rob them of their self-respect and the respect of their peers. We believe that the English Language Arts curriculum. . . must enable all students to feel comfortable with ideas, feelings and experiences presented without fear of humiliation... To Kill a Mockingbird is clearly a book that no longer meets these goals and therefore must no longer be used for classroom instruction.
