The orange tabs are locations of outrageously sexist, racist, classist, or anti-democratic statements—and I‘m only 1/4 of the way through.

Eyelit Looking at your past posts on this book it seems like a highly frustrating venture! 6y
Ostaff1 @Eyelit I keep having it recommended to me, and there are interesting bits, but I feel as though I‘m digging through dross to get to them. 🙄 It‘s illuminating to me that so many revere this book—I am now looking askance at all the people who‘ve read it and love it. 😂 6y

I‘m trying to read a paper book, but it‘s tough to find the time. Also, I‘m torn between nodding my head, and rolling my eyes. I‘m sticking with it, though. #classicaleducation
