today in literaure class: so we readin this poem right. right before this girl begins reading her volunteered stanza aloud professor stops her. says he forgot to warn us of naughty nigger word in lines to come. says she can just not say the word, in a tone idicating yeah you better not read it. so she doesn’t and its this whole big goddamn production. he chose this for the first day of class out of the how many other poems he could have chosen yet he chooses this one knowing well that he’s going to wanna warn us and censor it. is this right? i’m asking honestly maybe there’s something i don’t understand but i just can’t see any reason to skip over reading it or even mentioning it at all. does this happen in your literature classes?????????????? i feel like i should have at least politely asked why we are skipping over the word. didn’t even seem like a big deal to me.
