Reply to comment by boxer_dogs_dance in What was required reading for you in highschool or university? by [deleted]

I hated a Separate Peace. I'm surprised they still teach it. I'd think homophobic friendicide wouldn't be considered okay to teach

They may not be teaching it anymore. This was the 80s.

I graduated in 2007, and we read it in senior English. I hated it in high school, but reread it a few years later and fell in love with it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
