” The effort is spearheaded by Twain expert Alan Gribben”
Um. I got news for you, Alan: if you’re changing Twains work, you’re not a Twain expert.
Mark Twain is one of the greatest American writers who ever lived.
His works have stood the test of time.
Because some of the language he used, which was commonplace at the time, is offensive, is no reason to edit the offending word or words.
If Twain is edited then should we also not edit works by black authors who use the same language or words? Where does it end?
Liberal do-gooders are guilt ridden racists. Liberal do-gooders want everything and everybody to be put through a sieve so everybody and everything comes out the same...sort of like a Twilight Zone episode. Scary stuff to be sure.
Liberals are anti democracy, anti freedom.
