You may have heard of the controversy around the upcoming movie Ender's Game.
Here's my dilemma: Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead, at their core, are all about man's inhumanity to other sentient life due to a massive misunderstanding of the Other. These works have messages that should be celebrated, and run completely counter to Orson Scott Card's publicly stated beliefs. It seems to me that we should definitely read and discuss the first two books (get them out of the library), and educate the populace to be like Ender, not like Card.
