That’s how I taught when I was a teacher. When I had religious fundie kids refusing to read Othello or Huck Finn on religious grounds, I assigned them Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale as an alternate. Since I could safely assume none of their parents had read it, I was never questioned about why I chose that text for them.

I never read “A Handmaid’s Tale” but I thought the movie sucked.
