care what types of movies or television shows their kids watch. i wonder why these parents have an issue with teaching their kids how rape affects families. how evil and horrid it is.
yet parents usually don't give a flying yoo hoo about their kids watching movies with lots of violence (more times than not, against women) and drug use. give that kid a book and wow, parents get all righteous (about what i sure don't know)
ms angelou's book does in NO way glorify rape or the abuse of women. these are high school students and they are certainly old enough to be exposed to REAL LIFE

FOND DU LAC, Wis. -- Maya Angelou autobiography is causing concern at Fond du Lac High School, where some parents want the book banned.
Sophomores in advanced English classes read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." Some passages describe Angelou's rape and unwanted pregnancy.
School Superintendent Gregory Maass said one set of parents objected to the book, so the school assigned their student an alternative book.
Maass said they weren't satisfied and want the book removed from the curriculum entirely.
The school had a meeting this week about the issue. About 80 people attended -- including parents, teachers and principals -- but no decision was made...........
