"Someone recently asked me if I thought it was right for two gothic novels (Dracula by Bram Stoker and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley) to be taught at a Catholic junior high. Being that both stories were offered on the “Read Me, Write About Me” extra credit list in my parochial school’s seventh grade literature class, I was confused with his question. When I asked for him to elaborate on his opinion, he simply said that the books were immoral (“Drinking blood is a sin!” “Only God can create life!”) and, that if the school were to decide to definitely teach these tales, they’d have him to deal with." To read more, please take a look at my article and pass it along to others. Thank you for reading!
Best Wishes,
LW
