Evaluating Baton Rouge High’s summer reading list for my son

I was expecting every book to be off the charts on the cultural Marxism level. This doesn’t seem to be the case.
There is one selection where the main character is black, queer AND transgender.
I’m not trying to hide ideas from him but I just don’t want him to hate reading. I read the autobiography of Malcolm X when I was twenty and I felt like a grew a lot from that.
Do you guys know of a good review site that may have the least amount of bias?

Have they modernized it any?
Making kids read a tale of two cities is just torture .

The Sherman Alexie novel is hilarious and awesome.
Most of the nonfiction seems pretty standard and inoffensive, though it's definitely aimed at multicultural viewpoints (which isn't a bad thing).

I’m reading Friday night lights for my non fiction choice if it were me .
Enjoyable book
Sidenote: at least the kids have options now. We couldn’t pick. Each grade would have one designated book to read and that’s it when I was that age

Thanks

One of the books on the Non-Fiction list is:
Warhead: The True Story of
One Teen Who Almost Saved
the World
He almost saved the world? Did I sleep through the end of the world?

All Creatures Great and Small and its sequel All Things Bright and Beautiful are enjoyable classics -- recommended.
James Herriott was a veterinarian in Yorkshire, and the books are semi-autobiographical stories of life as a rural vet.
It's really shocking how little there is on the list that's more than a few decades old. Apparently, great literature was only just invented.

The Scarlet Letter is the worst book ever written as I recall.

Seems pretty schlocky. Overwhelmingly female authors (shocker I know).
