Breaking Rank

Books:
1. Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
2. Whale Talk, Chris Crutcher
3. Parrot in the Oven, Victor Martinez

Statement:
It seems that in both Whale Talk and Breaking Rank, "jocks" are the bad guys in high school. I wonder if this is an accurate representation of high school athletes. From my experience, jocks and bullying do not go hand in hand.

Question:
God/Religion seems to be a topic that appears throughout the book that guides Baby in making big decisions. Do you think some schools or parents would have a hard time with this book being taught in a public school?
