now I'm curious as to what the book you'd have given the Printz to was...
a whole lot of that kerfuffle seems to maybe stem from the idea that teaching the topic/book/etc. invites discussion about it--and discussion can lead to disagreements of opinions, and OMG HOW COULD YOU NOT LOVE THIS THE WAY I LOVE IT!? issues being worked out.
Which, on one hand, is exactly why I don't want to be in academia, because I could not handle that at all. But on the other, some of the most interesting and best discussions I remember from undergrad was when it came out during the discussion that the professor really didn't care for the material.
