When all you know is what you were taught by parents and friends that are ignorant to the world, you grow up to be a man like Riley Pranger, a passive racist and chauvinistic. But Riley is going to get a fast re-education when a single black mother rents his home for the summer and he has no choice but to recognize the actions of the people around him.

The Miseducation of Riley Pranger

Riley didn‘t think that they would be up to it, but Adam wanted to celebrate Christmas so after supper they finally exchanged gifts. Riley had bought him a Louisville Slugger baseball bat, a baseball, and a baseball mitt. He also got two video games and a new gaming system. 


Riley had also bought Jace a Nerf football, baseball and bat. Pete had been grateful for the unexpected gifts. Riley joked that he just wanted to make sure Little Jace didn‘t smash the television set with the real thing. 


Riley opened the box that contained his gift. It was pretty banged up but the contents were undamaged. It was a new lunchbox, thermos, and a small cooler.


"Wow…" he said in surprise. It was actually a great gift. "Thanks. I‘ll definitely use these." He hugged Adam who looked at his mother proudly.


Pete and Jace left and while Adam gathered up the wrapping paper Riley retrieved the last gift which had been hidden in his Christmas stocking.
