twobeertex 's review for:

Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
1.0

For some reason my child's 3rd grade class is reading this dusty old book together. I have never read it but saw the animated one at least once, so I knew there was some awful stuff in it. I figured I should probably read it too to better manage questions about racism and sexism from my kid, and to decide if I should fight her teacher.
Peter is a little sexist shithead bully. Yes, there are horrible slurs all throughout this whole book. A few sentences made me audibly gasp. It's a horrid little book that doesn't deserve the celebration it gets.
