Now if they want to be exposed to the N word, they’ll have to listen to rap music.

My wife was cleaning out some old trash this past spring and among the items to pitch was a First Edition “Tom Sawyer”.
I don’t care if it is racist, we are holding on to it.

Use of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and To Kill a Mockingbird were suspended after a parent raised concerns about their use of the N-word. A parent.
A = one.
Of how many in this school district?
Tyranny of the minority, much?

Shouldn’t they ban rap then?
Or would that be racist.

Make them all read MOBY DICK, even if it takes them three years. It’ll do ‘em good.

I’m going to go ahead and commit the sacrilege of admitting that I never particularly liked either of those novels. Even 30 years ago, I was sick of being nagged about racism.
To: dynachrome
Well, there goes my H P Lovecraft THE RATS IN THE WALLS, Joseph Conrad’s the NI*GER OF THE NARCISSUS, the south sea stories in the book THE LOST GOD by John Russell, and God help us if we mention the dog’s name in the book or movie THE DAM BUSTERS!
Somehow I feel we are reliving the movie THIS LAND IS MINE (1943) with Charles Laughton, in which the local teachers are given orders by their Nazi conquerors to tear out and burn certain pages of their books. Can the firing squads be far behind?
To: Ruy Dias de Bivar
“THE RATS IN THE WALLS”
One of his best.

There are 11 schools - combination of all kinds - elementary\middle\high school.
I don't know which school (I read these in H.S.)
Accomack County Public schools =
67.9% white
29.7% black.
So, I wonder if it was a P.C. white mother ?
I haven't chased the parent (she's named)
