You still haven’t really answered the question as to what the exact problem is, and why. You obviously have a problem with this situation, but if it’s only that the book is being studied in English class instead of history class, that frankly sounds like a pretty weak basis.



This is a nonsensical conversation, since you're demanding that I should defend words that you put into my mouth. No, thanks.


Nobody is putting words in your mouth. I’m responding directly to your own comment above:

> Why "teach" the Holocaust? Why make young children carry the burden of a monstrous time in history? How does it make them better at English?

Since you’re unwilling to explain the rationale behind your objection, it’s reasonable to conclude you’re just trolling and are wasting everyone’s time.
