Understatement

I just saw this comic and after having finished a conversation with a woman in my ward who asked me as a teacher, if I make my students read "those books, you know, that aren't totally wholesome like the Native American lit my daughter had to read in college" or if I just teach "good stories" and finishing up the Dark Materials by Pullman, I found this very fitting.

I told here that I didn't seek out books that were blatantly horrible, but I didn't not teach a book just because it may have something that some could consider questionable.
