16．When you think of the books that are read and taught in high schools across the US，what are the first titles that come to mind？The Great Gasby，Lord of the Flies．The Catcher in the Rye and of Of Mice and Men probably flood your memory．The authors of these books have something in common：They were all white men．
The truth is，many reading lists are short on female and minority authors．And some argue that teaching the literary canon（文学经典）to students who no longer find relevance（相关性） in the issues presented will fail to interest teens and ultimately rum them away from reading．
"When we think about summer reading books or adding a new book to a course，we're often looking for women or people of color，"said Scott Campbell，an English teacher at New Trier High School，who admired there's a gap in the curriculum where minority writers should be．
"Women a hundred or so years ago were not encouraged or expected that they might write，this is just one of the after-effects of male domination"，Campbell explained．
"I think book lists in schools are sexist（性别歧视的），but I don't think it's the schools'fault，"said Jones from a high schoo1．"I think it's because we still think good literature is only written by white males，which simply isn't true．I do see，though，that teachers are trying to change mat．"
Teachers at Hancock High School are doing the similar job．Hancock curricula include books and concepts teachers believe to be more culturally relevant to their students．
Hancock junior Sandra Rodriguez said she likes her school's selections that have replaced some to the traditional high school reads．
