In 10 years, what will grades 9-12 have to read?

From grades 9 thru 12, I read the following and we discussed them in class:
Tom Sawyer
Huckleberry Finn
Animal Farm
Uncle Tom's Cabin
The Red Badge of Courage
Fahrenheit 451
I will guarantee none of those will be read again at 99 percent of schools.
So I figure the following will be authors who will replace:
A. Carson Kressley
B. Barack Obama
C. Oprah Winfrey
D. Martin Luther King
E. Anderson Cooper
F. Lebron James
G. Bruce Jenner
Nofiction. Strictly "my struggle stories" and conservative hatred-spewing rhetoric. Fiction will make students use their imagination. We just cannot have that.
Then, they will read more bullshite in college. Our kids will have far-left lunatics making students buy all of their books about poetry slams and "the night the statues fell".
Social media and televison have a huge lead on classic literature.

Transvestites will be doing all the reading for them.

My child headed into 11th Grade AP English has to read “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, An American Slave” over the summer.my child entering the 9th grade can pick either “Jurassic Park” or “The Catcher in the Rye”.
I think in 10th my child did To Kill a Mockingbird. But that could’ve been 9th

To Kill a Mocking Bird is being taken off lists also. Its ridiculous. I read Huck Finn & Tom Sawyer. In school I remember we read excerpts and not the entire book. I was a big reader and read the full books. Wonder if Heart of Darkness will not be taught anymore also. The more you ban books the more people will want to read them.

That's right. I actually read that freshman year at LSU. A damn shame.

Wow. That's a contrast. And freshmen reading Salinger? That's impressive. Holden uses "god damn" quite a bit. No one is going after that.

Summer reading will be:
1. Holocaust novel
2. Holocaust novel
3. Zora Neal Hurston novel

I thought it was a strange two to pick from as well. He’s in “Quest” (advanced classes) so I don’t know what the kids not in that are reading.

Probably Twitter. It'll be required reading.

Probably helping rewrite history instead of reading to satisfy big brother. Like the book 1984 by George Orwell
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.“

That book should be read in history class, not AP English.

Jurassic Park
Catcher in the Rye was a required reading when I was in high school quote:

Every child in America should be required to read TKMB at some point. The fact that they're banning a book that actually brings awareness to social injustices and inequality that were once pervasive in this country is fricking sad.

Umm there’s plenty of BIPOC written books out there.
