Speak, is taught in one of our Red Deer high schools in grade 10 English. It was brought into the curriculum specifically because the guidance staff had seen a significant uptick in overly controlling behaviour by male students and increased incidents of date rape. Discussion with students reading the book involve the school guidance department as well as the English faculty. The book was a finalist for the National Book Awards. An on-line teacher and students guide can be found here.

Different communities will make different decisions. I'm glad that I am in one that has decided to include this book in the curriculum.
