Because Sonlight is a literature-based curriculum, we occasionally receive emails, asking us to identify specific types of content or explain our choice in our literature selections. For that reason we have written an article titled Why Sonlight Uses Certain Books that Some Homeschoolers Won't Touch. This article can be found at: http://www.sonlight.com/thatbook.html .
The decision is up to you. You are the teacher, and if you want to skip something, it is your choice. But don't take this responsibility lightly! Take some time to consider how this book (or chapter) could be valuable and enriching if taught carefully and then weigh the pros and cons. Take some time to read I Can't Believe You Use That Book article. Identifying objectionable content is a very subjective process, and although we do our best to provide this service for our customers, we are never going to be able to identify everything that every customer might find difficult. What concerns one customer may not be an issue at all for another. Certainly you are at liberty to skip over certain portions of a book or leave it out all together. That's one of the many benefits of homeschooling!
