I'm eternally grateful to the 7th grade English teacher who caught me not paying attention in class because I was surreptitiously reading Jack London's "White Fang" under a desk. She moved me to a new seat at the back of the room, and then left me alone for the rest of the term. — PolitiTweet.org

@DevonScanlon326 That's right too of course. Rather than expunge Fagin from Oliver Twist, eg, teach how Dickens was so consumed by remorse for this early antisemitic character that he inserted a preposterously admirable counter-Fagin into his later-life "Our Mutual Friend." — PolitiTweet.org
