Preamble the answer by outlining dangers of viewing artifacts through 20/20 hindsight.
If we are to disregard a work because it was made under a morality that is not ours, or not current, then we must disregard Foucault and the rest, simply because the nuances in their views do not conform to modern morality.
Say that all canons, by this mechanism, including the post-colonial POC and feminist canons, will be in danger of future deletion.
State that De Sade's theorizing on the tragedy of virtue betrayed, and the enthusiastic discovery of infinitely regressing horror, is still valuable despite his personal behaviour.
State that the core tenet of practical criticism is the removal of all other considerations apart from the artifact and the viewer's knowledge and dissection tools.
End your answer by criticizing the question: this question is outsourcing the legwork of propagandist activism to paying students. It is deeply unethical, and any further attempts will be escalated to the Dean.
Confer with your fellow students ahead of time and form a united front - an old favorite of the commie playbook - of opinion. Notify parents/sponsors, and make a record of complaint - not requiring action - with the general office.
Best of luck.
I can't believe you're discussing YA. Whoever designed curriculum is an unread brainlet.
