Should "To Kill a Mockingbird" be taken out of the cirriculum in a school here?

bonbon664 @bonbon664 (3466) • Canada 12 Aug 09

http://www.thestar.com/education/schoolsandresources/article/679811 Apparently, ONE parent complained, and now they have pulled the book from the cirriculum. The book repeatedly uses the "N" word, but, it's completely in context...

threnos I think that this is crazy! The use of the N word is to show the prejudice and stupidity of the bigotted characters. The book is one of the most touching ever written and should stay in the school cirriculum. My sister read it while she was in school and she...

What do you think of the new matte nail polish trend?

virusxtreme24 @virusxtreme24 (805) 11 Aug 09

Personally, I like it. It's so different from the typical glossy nail polish, and it definitely is unique.. however, i'm not very fond on how long is lasts. It chips way faster than the normal nail polishes. So tell me, do you...

What Do They Say?

x_Jo_x @x_Jo_x (1040) 12 Aug 09

When you tell people who dont use Mylot about Mylot, what do they say? Do they think it is a smart thing? Good way of making a bit of extra money online. Or do they think it is stupid? A waste of your time and pointless.

good

threnos I don't find a lot of 70's fashions very pleasant to look at either! I don't understand why anyone then or now could find them attractive. That's my taste maybe but I know a few people who share it. You have good taste and are fashionable!

threnos I hate them. I have found that while it may not hurt as much as they say, those people who tell you that it won't hurt a bit ususally are lying. It's for the best, though, I guess, preventing something far worse in the long run!
