I already hear the gnashing of teeth, rending of cloth and screams of Political Correctness run amok. However, as the last of baby boomers, I assure you I have no issue with the language or subject matter of To Kill A Mockingbird.

However the world is no longer the place it was and perhaps it’s time our students are exposed to content which is forward-facing, as opposed to being rooted in the past.
