Pitts focuses his outrage on the “small-minded people” who thought it acceptable to omit the less favorable parts of history (Pitts). His direct attack on the school board officials only serves to further galvanize the audience into action against this
This also shows how different perspectives shape the truth of reality. In” Nothing but the Truth” it says, “You may be right. But if the truth be known, Anita, teaching is exhausting. And what I say is this: if it takes a “fad” to pump energy back into the classroom, why, it’s worth it just for that! Sorry to have gone on so long about this.
To read this novel today it still shouldn 't be taught today, there are good but old lessons. We should be learning about new lessons, not old ones we can 't relate
This question must be asked: If Mark Twain were here today hearing this debate, what would he say? Would he agree with Dr. Gribben?

Her full use of strong language diminishes pieces of literature’s worth and questions their true significance.
