I have a daughter in college studying to become an elementary school teacher. She's part of a special program designed to produce teachers equipped for teaching in urban schools. In a children's Lit class, they were assigned approximately 30 kid books for various ages up to young adult with an odd criteria: the author's race must match the race of the main characters. According to her professor, a white person cannot possibly write about a black character without it being intrinsically racist. Has anyone else heard of this poppycock? Perhaps someone else believes it and can attempt to defend the professor's view?
