I’ll go with the low-hanging fruit: Mein Kampf. I’ve read it, cover to cover. As a piece of propaganda, it’s good. As an example of good writing? Absolutely not (though I will admit I have only read it in translation). Oh, and the whole fascist, racist, and generally shitty worldview of the author that he infuses into the text. And the fact that the author is literally Hitler. You 5-star that book? You’re a Nazi. Period. And as a Jewish person, I don’t look too kindly on them.
That seems…super sketchy and kind of coercive. You were a school student who was told that they weren’t allowed to play in the school band until you’d read the spiritualist gumph that your teacher believes in and wants to convert you to?
That’s a hard “yikes”.
No offense but thinking it is coercive for a teacher/coach to make a kid read a book is kinda naive and spoiled sounding
It wasn’t an educational text, it was conspirituality woo woo nonsense that the coach apparently took seriously. Weirdo shit
Let say football coach ban anyone from joining the team if they don’t read Quran and practice 30 minute text dicussion.
