Fake news.
It wasn’t ‘banned’ - they suggested something else could be used that was better or rather to review if see.
Meanwhile, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD was ‘banned’ when a school said it was ‘white savior complex’ and had the “n word” 50 times. Where’s the coverage on that?
If it fits into a (false) narrative, the media just prints their version of events. This is yet another example.
Also Huck Finn has an interesting history of censorship. Long ago the klan and other REAL White supremacists wanted it out of the schools and any traces of it turned because Mark Twain was a staunch abololishionist and the character of Jim, a Black man in some editions referred to as N****r Jim was depicted as a compassionate, intelligent person. Now the woketards want it banned because, well, ya know, IT’S RAYYYYCIST!!
They're not wrong. The liberal white guy has to save the Black (NYT style guide) man from evil southern rednecks. The liberal guy proves his manhood by being the best rifle shot in town. And they (Harper Lee and Truman Capote) add Boo Radley for some good old Southern Gothic flavor. I never liked To Kill a Mockingbird.
