I keep waiting for someone to notice the antisemitism in "Oliver Twist". Or maybe we're just more comfortable with that.

I'm actually sensitive to this problem. High school is an environment where some students are "ready" for certain concepts, and others are not. I will say, for 11th graders, they aren't all that far from college where they will be shocked to find out alot of things they were not taught (yet).
