 Conclusion:
Teachers Make Learners Understand, Not Ignorant

It is not entirely possible or necessary to censor all

literature for political incorrectness.

Literature reflects reality from the author's perspective,

and the reality we live in is not perfect itself.

Parents and authorities could not constantly police the

reading materials that children and young people
read.
 Conclusion:
Teachers Make Learners Understand, Not Ignorant

As Klein (1985) recommends in his book, the most

sustainable way of combating these challenges in
political correctness in children and adolescent
literature is to teach them competent study skills for
independent learning.

Aside from teaching these valuable skills, teacher's

responsibility to gather complete information about the
students in the class, especially their unique
backgrounds also plays a valuable role.
