I don’t mind having highschool children be exposed to Angelou’s past and encouraged to think about how being abused in childhood might shape someone’s experience. I do think bringing it up as trivia trivializes it. In the format, the question could have just as easily been about the colour of her abuser’s eyes. As if that’s what we ought to be thinking about.
(ETA: Speaking of being offensive)
If this recently article is any indication:
It would cover a daily dose of PrEP from India with enough left over for two or three condoms. Potentially a hell of a date. (I am sending a very different message to highschool kids)
