Proposed West High 10th Grade English - The Male American Experience?

Meg Cooper, parent, gave permission for her observation of the proposed West HS 10th grade English curriculum to be posted:

Has anyone else noticed that 80% or more of the proposed new West HS English 10 curriculum consists of male authors? Perhaps it should be called The Male American Experience/Justice/Identity relating to The Male American Dream...! I was very shocked. It appears so traditional (in a bad way) and excludes half [the femamle's perspective] of the American experience. How can this possibly be a better program than the current English 10 electives at West HS?
