The Education Committee Committee of the Northumberland Northumberland and Newcastle Board of Education recently recently received copies of textbooks to be introduced introduced for the first time in the 1987-88 school year. Each member reported reported on the book she or he had read, and the list of titles was presented presented to the last board meeting for approval. The trustees were prepared prepared to approve nine out of the 11 without question. But they expressed expressed concerns about "Thought and Style" (Kellow-Krisak ) and "A Handful of Thieves" (Bawden). Bowmanville trustee Peter Parrott, who read the latter book, informed the trustees that he wasn't prepared to say it should not be on the list, but he noted that it could be construed as having overtones of sexism. Cobourg trustee Judi Armstrong revealed that one of the stories in her book, "Thought and Style", could be described described as reverse discrimination--"it's discrimination--"it's sexist against males"-- and that another story made harmful statements, such as "rape is lust". "With'the right instructor instructor and the right class, I'd have no problem with this book... But I'd like it to be pulled.". Newcastle trustee Bill Carman said that he suspected suspected that he was as well read as the average trustee there, but that he was not qualified to critique a book for the Grade 9,10 and 11 levels. "I suspect others cannot either," he said. "The whole thing is an exercise exercise in futility." Campbellford trustee ©oris Linton said that it jy ( as a very good idea for trustees to get involved. "Over the years, I've received received a lot of complaints complaints about the books in the library and students students bringing them home to read." She said it was good that trustees take the time to read them. Committee Chairman Diana Stewart was very concerned that the two books in question were even on the list for board approval, after the committee committee had recommended recommended that they be pulled. "If administration administration makes the final decision, decision, why bring the trustees into it at all," she said. "It's a waste of our time." Chief Superintendent Robert Moorcroft said that he had discussions with the English department department head involved and' was informed that one of the questionable essays in the "Touch and Style" book would be used as an illustration of sex-roles historically and sexrole stereotyping. "It's so blatant that no one could read it without realizing that it is satirical stereotyping." Mr. Moorcroft noted that the other essay would be used to illustrate illustrate the way propaganda propaganda could be used to mask truth. The superintendent continued that the other book, "A Handful of Thieves", is written in Cockney English, and a student is required to read between the lines. "What the character states is not what the character feels," said Mr. Moorcroft. "The book is a useful teaching aid." He said the department department head saw no reason to exlude the books from the list. He noted that the Education Education Committee would not be meeting again until the last week of September, and the books are for use in the coming school year. Colborne trustee John Carter noted that you could take lines from Shakespeare and the Bible out of context and say, get rid of that one. "It's dangerous to keep books| off a list because of a trustee's reaction." Mr. Parfbtf said that while he recalled the two books being flagged, he didn't recall either being taken off the list. "If you wish to move the entire list, I would not be opposed," he said. All 11 books were approved approved for the coming school year. !l$$g i«f mm i§® 1 ■ Tiiifp : •l, ) ' ■ : /v.l/ - * \ b' [:Æ ■ I IfeifcSr/ . S t . ' # - , , - y i l 'X, t ! r A -if.
