my child goes to a yeshiva and he is going to read “to kill a mockingbird”. i am worried that it might contain pritzus due to the rape and the and the women. how should i approach the school and convince them to read a nice jewish book instead like adult speak or rabbi mendel
FYHS – maybe first discuss it with a Rav. Ask if it’s really a problem and ask what to do.
It’s interesting – we read To kill a mockingbird in high school. I don’t remember if it was in Bais Yaakov or not (I was in 2 different high schools). I don’t remember there being pritzus, but maybe I wasn’t so sensitive then or maybe I forgot. Also, there could be things that wouldn’t be problematic for girls but would be for boys.
I davka remember that as being one of the few books we read that I actually liked. Chaval that it’s problematic.
