Montana Student Fights to Keep Sherman Alexie Book on Curriculum. A group of parents in a Montana community have been trying since May 2, 2013 to get Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian removed from the 10th-grade required reading list at Skyview High School in Billings, Montana.
Gail Supola, a concerned parent, will be among those meeting with an ad hoc committee on Monday, November 11 about her request to remove the book. She says in her request for reconsideration of media to the school that: “This book does nothing to educate our children about the positives in Native American life, culture, traditions, beliefs, abilities or history. I think while reading a ‘required book’ you should learn something specific about the subject, in this case the Spokane Indians, or what is the point? After reading this book in its entirety, I know nothing more about the Spokane Indians than I did before reading it. The only thing this book accomplished was the reinforce the negative stereotypes of Native Americans.”

Book Summary Arnold, aka Junior, introduces his hardscrabble life on the Spokane Indian reservation in the first chapter called The Black-Eye-of-the-Month Club.
Through his “absolutely true” diary, Arnold describes his impediments and vulnerabilities, the biggest of which is living on a reservation where he is a zero with a zero future. A pivotal conversation with a teacher spurs Arnold to make a daring life choice—to attend an all-white school miles from the reservation. His rocky start there, riddled with stereotypes and misunderstandings, slowly develops into surprising friendships and successes in academics and basketball.
