別對學生隱瞞現實的「危險」The Wilds of Education 6park.com 6park.com弗蘭克·布魯尼2014年9月30日 6park.com 6park.comBen Wiseman 6park.comWhen it comes to bullying, to sexual assault, to gun violence, we want and need our schools to be as safe as possible. 6park.com提到欺凌、性侵犯、槍支暴力，我們希望並且需要我們的學校越安全越好。 6park.comBut when it comes to learning, shouldn’t they be dangerous? 6park.com但是在學習上，該不該讓他們經歷危險呢？ 6park.comIsn’t 6park.com education supposed to provoke, disrupt, challenge the paradigms that 6park.comyoung people have consciously embraced and attack the prejudices that 6park.comthey have unconsciously absorbed? 6park.com難道教育不應該去撼動、打亂、挑戰年輕人有意識地接納了的條條框框，並去攻擊他們無意識吸收的成見嗎？ 6park.comIsn’t 6park.com upset a necessary part of that equation? And if children are lucky 6park.comenough to be ignorant of the world’s ugliness, aren’t books the rightful 6park.com engines of enlightenment, and aren’t classrooms the perfect theaters 6park.comfor it? 6park.com難道失望不是這個等式中的一個必要因子嗎？如果孩子有幸對世界的醜陋一無所知，難道書本不是恰當的啟迪引擎嗎，難道課堂不是它的完美劇場嗎？ 6park.comNot 6park.com in the view of an unacceptable number of Americans. Not in too many 6park.comhigh schools and on too many college campuses. Not to judge by 6park.comcomplaints from the right and the left, in suburbs and cities and states 6park.com red and blue. 6park.com有太多美國人不這麼認為。太多的高中、太多的大學不這麼認為。從來自左翼和右翼、郊區和城市、紅州和藍州的怨言看，他們不這麼認為。 6park.comLast 6park.com week was Banned Books Week, during which proponents of unfettered 6park.comspeech and intellectual freedom draw attention to instances in which 6park.comdebate is circumscribed and the universe sanitized. As if on cue, a 6park.comdispute over such censorship erupted in the affluent Dallas-area 6park.comcommunity of Highland Park, where many students pushed back at a recent 6park.comdecision by high school administrators to suspend the teaching of seven books until further review. Some parents had complained about the books. 6park.com上周是禁書周(Banned 6park.com Books 6park.comWeek)，在這期間，倡導徹底的言論和知識自由的人士將一些約束辯論、洗白世界的案例呈現在世人面前。彷彿事先約好了似的，一場針對這種審查制度的爭論，在達拉斯地區的富裕社區高地公園爆發，那裡的高中校方決定暫停七本書的教學，以待進一步的審核，這引發了一些學生的反對。此前，這些書遭到了部分家長的投訴。 6park.comTheir 6park.com titles? That was the strangest part. The seven offenders included the 6park.comyoung adult novel “An Abundance of Katherines,” by John Green. It was 6park.comdeemed too sexually frank. Also “The Working Poor: Invisible in 6park.comAmerica,” by David K. Shipler. It has references to rape and abortion. 6park.com“The Glass Castle,” Jeannette Walls’s best-selling memoir, was tagged 6park.comfor its portraits of alcoholism and mental illness. And “The Art of 6park.comRacing in the Rain,” by Garth Stein, dared to include a scene in which a 6park.com teenage girl under the age of consent comes on to an older man. In 6park.comseveral sentences, her breasts are described. 6park.com書名？奇怪的地方來了。七本犯了禁忌的書包括約翰·格林(John 6park.com Green)的青少年小說《太多個凱瑟琳》(An Abundance of 6park.comKatherines)。它被認為在性方面過於直白。還有戴維·K·謝普勒(David K. 6park.comShipler)的《工作的窮人：美國那些受到忽視的人們》(The Working Poor: Invisible in 6park.comAmerica)。它是因為提到了強姦和墮胎。珍妮特·沃爾(Jeannette Walls)的暢銷回憶錄《玻璃城堡》(The Glass 6park.comCastle)，被打上了描繪酗酒和精神疾病的標籤。加思·斯坦(Garth Stein)的《我在雨中等你》(The Art of Racing 6park.comin the Rain)膽敢寫出一個未成年少女向一個年齡大些的男子提出性要求的片段。其中有好幾句話描述了她的乳房。 6park.comIt’s not exactly “Fifty Shades of Grey.” I mean, its narrator is a Labrador-terrier mix. 6park.com和《五十度灰》(Fifty Shades of Grey)還是有區別的。你看，故事的敘述者是一隻拉布拉多和㹴犬的混血狗。 6park.com“It’s the dog book,” Stein marveled when I reached him by telephone in Seattle, where he lives. “My book’s the dog 6park.com book.” In it an animal who expects to be reincarnated as a person 6park.compuzzles over humanity — and prepares for it — by studying his master, a 6park.comracecar driver. 6park.com「這是本狗書，」於西雅圖家中接受電話採訪的斯坦感嘆道。「我的書是狗書。」在書中，一隻希望投胎轉世為人的動物對人性產生了困惑，並為此進行準備——通過向他那位賽車手主人學習。 6park.com“It’s 6park.com full of life lessons: about responsibility, about self-reliance, about 6park.comperseverance,” Stein said. Apparently, nipples trump all of that. 6park.com「全是些人生的歷練：關於責任，關於自立，關於堅持，」斯坦說。顯然，乳頭一出現，這些都無關緊要了。 6park.comThe 6park.com events in Highland Park brought to mind other stories, including one in 6park.com the Denver area that received national attention last week: A newly 6park.comconservative board for the Jefferson County School District, which is 6park.comColorado’s second-largest, raised the possibility of pruning the curriculum 6park.com of books and material that could be seen to exalt civil disobedience 6park.comand promote unpatriotic thoughts. Where does that leave the civil rights 6park.com movement? Vietnam? 6park.com高地公園的事件讓人想起其他的事迹，包括上周發生在丹佛地區的一樁引起全國關注的事：科羅拉多第二大的傑弗遜縣學區(Jefferson 6park.com County School 6park.comDistrict)一個新近轉向保守派的委員會提出，可能會考慮將課程中有宣揚公民不服從和鼓吹非愛國思想的書籍和材料刪去。這是把民權邉又渺逗翁帲吭綉鹉兀 评分完成：已经给 老新领导 加上 100 银元！
