The teachers you're attacking? Fools, they KNOW PEDAGOGY. They understand that their job is to TEACH KIDS TO READ, deeply and critically, and then to set those kids free in the world to dive into the books THEY choose, not what your simple-minded adherence to custom dictates.

YOU want your own children to read the classics?

Buy those books for them. Read them with them, like you do whatever scripture you hold dear. Ain't nobody stopping you, friends.

But this pearl-clutching and browbeating? It needs to stop. You look petty, cruel, small.
