“SENIOR YEAR. When an assignment given by a favorite teacher instructs a group of students to argue for the Final Solution, a euphemism used to describe the Nazi plan for the genocide of the Jewish people, Logan March and Cade Crawford are horrified. Their teacher cannot seriously expect anyone to complete an assignment that fuels intolerance and discrimination. Logan and Cade decide they must take a stand.
As the school administration addressed the teens' refusal to participate in the appalling debate, the student body, their parents, and the larger community are forced to face the issue as well. The situation explodes, and acrimony and anger result. What does it take for tolerance, justice, and love to prevail?” - taken from Goodreads.com
Could you stand up for something you believe in, even if you have to do it alone? Logan and Cade take offense when their teacher, Mr. Bartley, assigns a debate on Hitler’s Final Solution, the extermination of the Jewish race. When Mr. Bartley refuses to change the assignment, Logan and Cade don’t back down. Soon, the class and the community become divided as true colors and closely kept secrets are revealed. Based on a real-life event, this book explores what it means to stand up for what you believe in.
