I read the book titled "Auschwitz" when I was a kid, it should be mandatory reading. People need to know about that and feel the pain those people suffered to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I wish the curriculum of schools today, and I mean from 1st grade on, would have a minimum of six books as mandatory reading. Of course they would have to choose well to take them from children literature to youth and adult, but books that teach about life, history, about being good human beings should be part of it.
There are so many books out there that would open kids eyes to what the World should be, to the beauty of diversity, to the beauty the World provides.
Art, music like the teach in Europe which by the time a kid is out of 8th grade they can read music perfectly should be taught at schools, and it is these things republicans like to cut funds because they know these expand the mind, and republicans are only interested in keeping people stupid.
