A teacher in our school in Georgia has required that all of the students in the 11th grade read John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. She gave the students a test over this book on the first day of school. These grades were recorded in the gradebook.
As a parent, I want to know if a teacher has a legal right to tell a student what they must do while on summer vacation. Also, do I have a right as a parent to say that my student will not read this book? I personally find the book offensive in language and racial issues. The book goes against the principals that I am trying as a Christian to instill in my child.
Thank you.
