“As a matter of fact, I constantly tell audiences all over the world that the single greatest icon of American culture from the publication of "To Kill A Mockingbird" was that novel so that if we say, what conversation can we have that would lead us on a road of tolerance, and teachers have decided that if you're going to teach values in a school in America, the answer that American teachers at all kinds of schools have come up with, just let Harper Lee teach "To Kill A Mockingbird." And then all the teacher has to do is stand back and guide the discussion.” IfsWorldKindMatterFactsSchoolAmericaValuesCultureAnswersTeachNovelAudienceTeacherConversationDecidedCome UpGuidesToleranceAll KindsDiscussionAmerican CultureIconsPublicationMatter Of FactHarperMockingbirdKill A Mockingbird Author:Wayne Flynt
