If I remember right, doesn't that book have some depictions of graphic sex including rape. I wonder how the Christian Taliban would feel about the GOP forcing their children to be exposed to that stuff.
Atlas Shrugged is one of the most painful and pathetic reads I have ever suffered though... and I can handle James Joyce. If you want to cause these students pain, just reinstate corporal punishment.
Government requiring people to read a certain book, is as silly as government forbidding people to read a certain book.
State governments have as much authority as they want, to do anything not forbidden by the U.S. Constitution (double jepoardy, enacting slavery etc.) or assigned to the Fed govt (coining money, regulating interstate commerce etc.). In other words, they even have the authority to be exceedingly stupid if that's what their people want them to be. So Idaho can pass this bill if they want, just as Oregon could pass Universal Health Care if they wanted to. (Fortunately Oregon thought better of that one).
I think its a great idea for them to read it but don't think it should be forced on them.Kids have a hard enough time in school without having things like this forced on them.
