Fond du Lac parents want controversial book out of class
Angelou account of rape stirs objections
FOND DU LAC — Some Fond du Lac parents have asked school officials to remove former U.S. poet laureate Maya Angelou's autobiography from the high school curriculum.
Students at Fond du Lac High School read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" in sophomore advanced English classes.
But some parents have objected to passages that describe Angelou's rape and subsequent unwanted pregnancy. About 80 people attended a meeting Tuesday at the school this week to discuss the book and the request to remove it.

They probably want it out for the wrong reason...but it's a start.

This nigger's no "poet"...she's just another fuckin' nigger!

I was going to say the same thing: "why do we still have to pretend this creature is a great author?" Back when I was working in a bookstore, she had this collection of poems for $24.99 (or some other ungodly price) and it was only about 50 pages. Basically, it was just crap that 14-year-old girls everywhere do in purple high-lighter on the back of the notebooks.

President Clinton tapped her to write a poem in honor of his inauguration on January 20, 1993.
If anyone needs a good laugh...you can hear her niggerbabble HERE
Reminds me of "Da Kingfish" in an old Amos and Andy episode.
If you think niggerbabble is funny to listen to...there's lots of FREE Amos and Andy HERE

I'll bet they want it out for the right reason but don't have the nerve to say it out loud, so they're going for a more acceptable line of protest. Just a hunch.

Whatever works, it's a good start. This shegroe is no more a "poet" than I am an astrophysicist. Several decades ago in high school, I took a "Minority Lit" class to get my final English credits. I had to read "masterpieces" by the likes of Langston Hughes and Ralph Ellison. Even at that tender age, the differences between nigger "authors" and humans was very obvious.

LOL! I can't believe I've been listening to Amos and Andy for the past 2 1/2 hours!
Niggers are FUNNY...when they're not raping and/or murdering White people that is!

It's always amusing to watch the liberal PC crowd fawn over this woman's "art" - the same way that parents would billow and coo over their kindergartner who just made a stick figure drawing...

Jim, where did you get the Amos & Andy recordings?
I may have her confused with another darkie genius, but was Mammy Maya the one who began having the African American Experience - rape by her uncle - when she was eight years old? And she liked some of it, so she says in her book. I vaguely remember something like that.
"Go, Nazis, Go!"
Jim, where did you get the Amos & Andy recordings?
I just found them while looking for a picture of "da Kingfish." ]Alligator Bag Incident" is especially funny.

Giving fine white minds , this junk !
How many of these young folks could be reading Voltaire, Schopenhauer , Marlowe , Montaigne and the really super stuff that I don't know about .

Mammie "Tara Jackson" Angeloo isn't claiming an "ebil whitie" raped her, is she??
Here's some "art" for you uncultured philistines!!!
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty Women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my steps
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honey bees.
I say
It's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the Joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say
It's in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say It's in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That's me.
-Maya Angelou
