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

When they piled into Riley‘s truck at exactly six am the next morning, Stella was surprised at all the things Riley had brought just to go fishing. Yes, of course there were the poles, even the extra poles were understandable. And yes, of course they needed the tackle box—she hadn‘t considered it yesterday. But he also had a bucket, which was to hold the fish they caught. He had an old margarine bowl filled with worms. Its lid was tightly in place but it had small slits in top to allow air. He explained that his preferred bait was wax-worms but corn was also fine so he had also brought along an ear of corn.


In the back of the truck were folding chairs, and a cooler, which Stella had filled with bottled water, soda and sandwiches.
