Great article, I liked these bits in particular:

“If the language in To Kill a Mockingbird makes thirteen-year-olds “uncomfortable,” then I assume the school district is also insisting they stay off Twitter and never listen to rap music.”

“How are we supposed to learn from the past (and improve the present) if we’re ignoring significant pieces of history because it might make someone “uncomfortable?””

Another saying I’ve heard might be appropriate too: Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
