I thought Jamie Kane's comment on the irrevelance of certain topics to black students was kind of silly. If students must read and write about topics that they're exposed to, then we wouldn't be reading Shakespeare, Austin, Bronte sisters, etc, because they're not exactly relevant to a typical high school/university student's lifestyle. Maybe we should all attend segregated schools with a segregated curriculum so that we'd only be exposed to stuff from our respective heritage/heritages and to nothing else. The only reason why people find certain topics irrelevant is because they haven't been exposed to it!
