You know what you call a book that cannot be taught in a classroom? BANNED.
And, fyi, MAS grads had a higher graduation rate than the rest of the district -- a district already under federal supervision for violations of the Civil Rights Act, aka, segregation.
ETA: Here's one quote from this fascist Huppenthal who compared The Pedagogy of the Oppressed to Mein Kampf on Amy's show. lol
JOHN HUPPENTHAL: . . .And so, what we are saying is, you have to go through a curriculum development process that has to be subject to the community, community review, community discussion. In no way, shape or form are we banning any kind of books or any kind of viewpoint from the classroom. But we are saying that if all you’re teaching these students is one viewpoint, one dimension, we can readily see that it’s not an accurate history, it’s not an education at all. It’s not teaching these kids to think critically, but instead it’s an indoctrination. And that’s what we could see replete through the thousands of pages. So we’re asking them to go through a healthy curriculum development process, subject to comprehensive community review and discussion, and to make sure that they are following good educational practices in general.

JOHN HUPPENTHAL: There’s—those books were not—there’s no—nothing about my order that requires that those books be banned at all. You know, I’ve read those books myself to familiarize myself with the issues at hand. But what we have concerns about are how those books are being used. You could use Mein Kampf in the classroom, but you’d have to be really careful, because you—if you found a teacher who wasn’t using it to explore the issues in Mein Kampf critically, but you were—they were using it as a Bible, boy, that would be intolerable.

Sure, John. You didn't ban anything but no one can teach those books. What an ignorant pig.
