Neither did mine. Isn't that sad? At one time, this charming story was included in the canon of every well-educated childhood.
But it is just about everything our woke educators hate. It was written, of course, by a dead, white, male. An Englishman and a colonialist. Not only is the story colonialist, but like much of Kipling's work, it is set in India. And perhaps worst of all, it is an unapologetic tale of good versus evil. And of good vanquishing evil.
No doubt, our teachers have replaced it with something more appropriate.
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is now in the public domain. So I include it here.
If you are interested, here is a sample of how the story was once taught.
Also, I have added a Lost in Wokeness section to the sidebar. That should be fun.
