Injun Joe needs to be renamed to “Native American Joe”. We need to eliminate the references to campfires because they cause global warming. All references to firearms need to be removed.

In Canada, First Nation Joseph , reflecting his aboriginal heritage and the fact Joseph was probably gay (not that there is anything wrong with that)

Mark Twain, (Samuel Clemens) was a noted abolitionist, and his books are a period pieces. It would be like wanting to re-write shake sphere because people don’t understand the 16th century terms used in it’s text.

Shakespeare wrote over 100 years ago. Nobody understands that stuff anymore.

Oh and remember the loaves of bread with a lump of mercury in them? We must remove that part because it destroys the environment.
