Teacher assigns The Crucible in English class, becomes victim of witch hunt.

Headline shamelessly stolen from rimrunner

My mother is an English teacher. She teaches The Crucible, and every few years she gets a Jehovah's Witless who refuses to consider reading the book because it might contain information or cause thought. I greatly enjoy her solution to this: She assigns them Oedipus Rex instead. She's never had a complaint about that one, and since they always fail the reading comprehension tests *anyway*, they might as well fail while providing a useful definition of "irony" for the other students.
