Yes, I believe TKAM is still relevant to today. The book touches on subjects of justice, and equality, and also addresses the unfairness of racism in society. These things are important to learn about to grow as a person. Today, we still have these issues, and with this, I also believe that we should pick a different novel that is actually told by someone experiencing said problems in their life to grasp a better understanding of racism from another perspective.

The novel to Kill a Mockingbird is still very relevant today. Since racism is still happening and it’s not only our issue of the past. The book shows the readers her racism was back then educates the readers on racism, classism, and also bias. The lesson behind the book is very important, and so is the topic of racism. This novel should still be in libraries so people can read about the Prejudice that is happening and learn more.

I believe that TKAM is still relevant and important for young people to read. It talks about racism and more problems that still happen today. Its a good way to start conversations in school about it and a good start to educate people about racism

I believe that the novel To Kill A Mockingbird’s representation of racism is still present in today’s world. We are still faced with many problems regarding people’s race and how injustice society is. I think this novel should be taught in schools because it helps us a students to better understand the world and educate ourselves on racism. It also not only points out the racial prejudice, but also includes many overall life lessons and morals beliefs that could be helpful when we as teenagers enter the adult world.

I believe that it is still relevant today since it talks about bias and systematic racism, which is still a problem today. TKAM helps people get more knowledge on one of the many things that black people go through. Although it was written by a white person, they still had a good point. It may not of covered the whole racism topic, it's still presented there. Racism is different today but the book show's us how systematic racism was back then and if much has changed over the years. TKAM can lead us into a more knowledgeable direction to educate ourselves more.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not  relevant but I don’t think it should be taken out of schools or libraries because of its message. TKAM has racism in it but doesn’t really show it on a more realistic standpoint. The author of the novel is white so of course it’s not going to show racism in the most accurate way, but still it was lacking systemic racism against blacks. This book was based off of the 30’s so racism and segregation is different nowadays compared to back then. Some parts can teach young children a lesson though. There’s a part in the book where one man was helping a black mans case because he was claimed guilty for something he didn’t do. That was an amazing thing to
understand that all human deserve equality and that we are all human. In conclusion, To Kill a Mockingbird isn’t relevant today but shouldn’t be taken out of libraries and schools.

I believe that TKM is not relevant today. The books shows racism that is still relevant today however it shows a “white savior”. This white silver is a person that “saves” them from the situation. Not only that but the author is white and it is shown from a white persons perspective. A white person does not know what it is like being a POC and never will. Racism should be taught by POC because they have experienced it first hand. Even though TKM shows how racism affects people it is inaccurate because a white person wrote it.

I believe that TKAM is still relevant and that it should still be taught in school. The book gives the readers a great insight on injustice and prejudice despite being told from a white little girls point of view. It does a great job reminding the reader of the much more terrible unjust times of America. It also helps readers start to recognize the injustices happening in the modern day.

I believe that TKAM should still be taught in schools. It teaches us history so we don’t forget how life was like during Great Depression and teaches us how life wasn’t equal. It’s super important because when you’re done reading the book you kind of make a connection how injustice the world was in the 1930’s and realize how it’s still injustice.

I believe that To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not relevant today. The same racism and injustice are shown in the book still happen today, however, this book implies the "White Savior Complex" that many movies and books about racism also include. I think it's harmful for people to think racism is only solved when a white person takes control. Not only that, but the author is also white. Racism in books would better be taught by black/POC authors instead of white people in my opinion, since they have first hand experience with it.

I believe that To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is still relevant today. Although it is written in a white persons point of view and doesn’t give us much insight on what the Tom was thinking, and doing. It does tell us what the white person was think and doing, it does tell us that if from a white persons point of view how terrible it was and how emotional they got so it only makes me wonder how is Tom feeling. We could only imagine the fear he was experiencing the hate and death threats he got from the white people. So my point being that it is relevant because this book not only makes me and I’m sure others think before they speak it also helps me care way more than I did before about racism and injustice.

I believe that To Kill A Mockingbird is relevant in some ways(like how the things in the book happen today)for some ways but not fully relevant. We’re talking relevant today so I say it’s not really relevant, because today’s people has been through a lot. So for someone from today to read this, it wouldn’t be that relevant because they already know what goes on, how the system operates and on top of that it’s from a white person’s perspective, which is not the perspective you want when you’re reading about racism.

The novel TKAM by Harper Lee, is still very relevant today. With the injustices/
racism that are seen in this day and age, can be compared to the    injustices/
racism back then, and in the book. Some people believe that racism today is remarkably different than what is was not too long ago; Which is not  necessarily true. This book even though it is written by a white person and it doesn’t capture what black people go through it does give a small example of what racism can be. I believe that Racism has always been systemic which is why this book is still very relevant today.

I believe To kill a Mockingbird is still relevant today. The book has themes of injustice and racism during that time period, it was ok. However, stuff like that are still happening today. It’s gotten better, but still very prevalent. I think it should be taught in schools because it has so many different characters with different beliefs that most people could relate to. Either in a good way or bad way and it’s teaching kids that not everyone is a bad person.

I believe To Kill A Mockingbird is still relevant today. Even though the book is based in a time where racism was common, it still explains the topic of racism which is still seen today. Racism is different in today’s world versus the book, but the book is still relevant to teach us about the past and how we have changed in history. TKAM also talks about a lot of other real world problems like injustice and prejudice, and we can also relate that to our world nowadays too.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a novel which focuses on the injustice of racism. Even though racism today is different than it was in the 1930s, the concept remains the same. It is crucial that schools have this novel in their curriculum because it teaches everyone that not everything is as it seems. The lesson of not judging a book by its cover plays a huge role in how racism even starts. This is why the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee should remain in schools and why it is still a relevant novel after all these years.

I believe that To Kill A Mockingbird is still relevant today because it shows many real life problems that are in the present like racism and stereotypes for each race. An example in the book is Tom Robinson is guilty for something he didn’t do just because he was black and tons of people can learn from this book.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that to kill a mockingbird by Harper Lee is not relevant today because they include topics of racism and social injustice, but it also includes ideas of white saviors and it’s written from a white perspective. It does not clearly show social injustice because it’s not from the perspective of a black person or even written by a black person.

Yes, because many of the societal problems that it (not necessarily accurately, but close enough to be a teaching moment) discusses can still be seen today, albeit in less overt ways. Other than societal problems, it can also help lead discussions on author and POV bias, things children might not notice on first read can help them become more critical of the works they read.

I believe that TKAM is not relevant today. I think that it has been taught throughout the years as being a book teaching students racism is not okay, when in reality that’s not what the book teaches us. It shows a white man defending a black man, and all the praise goes to the white man. The black people are portrayed as grateful for Atticus to defend them. I believe that there are better books for teaching about racism and black lives, and this is not one of them.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not relevant today. Although the novel touches on topics still relevant today like, racism and gender stereotypes. The newer generation should not be learning about racism and social injustice from a white perspective. There have been many books in language arts that tell us about racism but its from a white perspective, meaning that it isn’t fully understood by the characters therefore it wouldn’t convey the message as well as seeing it from a person of color perspective. The newer generations should be learning from the perspective that these inequalities is happening to because they have seen the worst of it. That is why To Kill a Mockingbird is not relevant today.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is still relevant today because we still see similar events like in the book. For instance, the bias towards Tom Robinson because he is black can still be seen in the world today. Also, injustice is still seen because court systems are not perfect and because of peoples biases and views on stereotypes.

# data[].attributes.body
The simple answer is yes it is still relevant. While it is an old book doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have worth. The story and characters are likable enough;However, the most important part is the moral lessons in the book. One of the major ones being not to judge a book by its cover. The book does have it’s flaws but I believe for  the most part it’s a good book that has a lot of good learning potential.

TKAM is still relevant because of the racial injustice going on today. But, it obviously doesn't show how bad racism actually is and for that reason, I don't know if it should still be taught in schools. It doesn't show a complete representaion of what racism is actually like, so it doesn't teach a lesson about it. Therefore, I believe that it's not relevant and it shouldn't be read in schools anymore.

I believe TKAM is still relevant especially today because the book was mostly about equality and justice and we still need that to be taught today. Many kids don’t understand what is equal or what isn’t but I think if they read TKAM, they will understand that the world isn’t as good as they think.

I think that TKAM is still relevant today. Though racism has definitely become different in many ways, it is also still fueled by many of the same problems that exist in TKAM. Though TKAM is a product of its time, it certainly helps its readers recognize the issue of racism in their society; even if it's not exactly the same.

In what ways does it look different?

Racism has become more systemic, so it's often harder to see with individual people.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is still relevant today. A topic widely disputed within the novel still occurs today, racism. Even though the racism in the novel and racism today are very different, the idea of racism remains the same. To Kill a Mockingbird does an outstanding job with explaining how different people react to this injustice. That is why To Kill a Mockingbird is still relevant today.

I believe that it is still relevant today. The themes of racism and injustice still are very relevant to our society in the US today. Also, I believe it should still be taught in schools unless it can be replaced by a book that deals with racism from a point of view that does not appoint a white hero. If TKAM is removed without a proper replacement, education on racism in the way of literature may be lost. In conclusion, TKAM is still relevant today and should still be taught in schools despite its many inaccuracies and racist premise.

I believe that To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is still relevant. It touches on many real world issues that we see today, such as racism and gender stereotypes. However, this book is not completely accurate for modern day, because the world has changed and evolved. This is a good way to start learning more about these issues, and become more informed about it.

Jason, what makes it not totally accurate?
