Conservative summer reading list at Alabama high school stirs attention

[TexasTowelie]

Teacher gives students books by Ann Coulter and Mark Levin


Nothing spices up a good list of school-assigned summer reads like a dose of political controversy.

A high school teacher in Spanish Fort, Alabama, assigned students a summer report on one book from a list of options. More than 30 books were listed, and most have a strong conservative focus.

Among the titles are "Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions," "Liberty and Tyranny: A Conservative Manifesto" and "Guilty: Liberal 'Victims' and their Assault on America."

Authors include prominent conservative personalities like Michael Savage, Mark Levin and Ann Coulter.

Levin is one of the tribes Israel, which is why we are so against Arabs in the Holy lands...

Some of the authors whose works were on a reading list pulled from an Alabama classroom are firing back. ... The author's comments come after copies of a reading list for Spanish Fort High School's advanced placement government and economics class began circulating on social media earlier this week.

The list, created by teacher Gene Ponder, directed students to choose one book as a summer reading assignment. The entries included such works as "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder: Savage Solutions," by Michael Savage; '"End the Fed," by Ron Paul; "Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and their Assault on America," by Ann Coulter; "Abortion and the Conscience of a Nation," by former President Ronald Reagan; and "48 Liberal Lies About American History (That You Probably Learned in School)," by Larry Schweikart.

The list was posted on social media, drawing outrage from some parents. Elizabeth Denham, whose son was in the AP class, wrote on her blog she contacted Ponder and then the school to question the assignment.
....

School officials said Ponder, a 2010 Republican candidate for Alabama's Lieutenant Governor's office, would be contacting students and parents to let them know there will be no summer reading assignment for his class.
