To Kill a Mockingbird may be the only schoolbook that exposes racism and it always needs to be in the curriculum. Our American history books already filled with lies about slavery on purpose to keep kids in the dark. The more our children know about racism the better they'll be able to end it. Nobody needs to be ignorant to our REAL history, America was Never Great for Everybody.
