I'm considering getting certified to teach English, but if this how it is going to be, I think I may pass. What a bunch of crap! Let's deny people experiences just because it hurts someones feelings. It's one thing to hurt someone physically, but to be offended by a book because the title is 'The Old Man and The Sea' is ridiculous.
If I do teach I can only hope to follow in the footsteps of my favorite English teacher who secretly gave some of us 'subversive' literature to read outside of the classroom. I'll always remember him for that, and will always be greatful.
