To Teach Or Not To Teach.

Positives:
  • teaches about slavery
  • allows students to see how it was to live in that time period
  • allows students to think and comprehend about slavery
  • teaches students to treat people equally

Negatives:

  • discriminates against black people
  • vulgar language

I think the side that favors in teaching the book is more convincing because I believe it's alright to expose students to books like this. It would allow them to have a different sort of understanding towards that time period and about how slavery used to be like.
