Grim literature in the high schools?

<p>I just contacted my D’s principal with my concerns, and she seemed to share my feeling that the darker literature shouldn’t be the primary focus of the class. They were already planning changes to the 10th grade reading list for next year (too late for my D, but a good move IMO), and will review the reading lists for the Junior/Senior classes. I do think it’s important that we speak up. if the school is not made aware that there are concerns, they can’t address them.</p>
