The tyranny of the minority!
This PC stuff is killing our country. When will people & institutions STOP giving in to one or two unhinged people???
Libtards get so tiresome. Everyone who has ever actually read Huck Finn knows the character in question, Jim, is the ONLY truly good human being in the book. I get so sick of these people.
I wonder what tripe it was replaced with (skimmed article, didn’t see it mentioned).
This is why I love homeschooling - we read the classics early and often.
Or maybe she's the one who's "impacted." Knowwhatimean?
What is it with the Scandinavian brain
Surprised that they didn’t put 1984 down on the list.
We had Uncle Tom’s Cabin handed out as the required book to read. I doubt if more than 10-percent of the kids read the book....the rest all read some two-page summary that someone got from their relative in college.
I could see the removal of Huckleberry Finn coming even when I was in high school in the early 1980s. My liberal English teacher read passages out of it and substituted “black” for the “N” word. He then gave a speech that took up half the class about how inappropriate the “N” word is in literature. And this was back in a suburban high school class in the early 1980s.
It’s remarkable that a leftist wet dream like To Kill a Mockingbird is removed. The Left is high on its own supply.
I hope those ubersensitive *****es aren’t listening to rap music!
This is Taliban/ISIS level of willful ignorance. To protect their precious feelz they would destroy a culture.
These SJWs need to be put on tbe spot, and forced to identify what year they want art,history and literature to start, and before which they want all history deleted. If they can’t provide an exact date then they need to be hammered for selective censorship.
It wasn’t that long ago that parents demanded certain books be removed from the curriculum because the characters had sex or were anti-religious.
The schools and teachers pushed back hard demanding that this was about literature and independent thought and teaching open mindedness and exposing young minds to new ideas.
My how the tables have turned...
I’ll bet anyone here “Jimmy Has 2 Mommies” is still in that library.....
Have they also removed books like Native Son?
Not good enough. The books must be put into a big pile in the school square and burned.
It works both ways, liberals!
that her high school-age son was negatively impacted by the books’ racial slurs. “
Little b*tch boy.
And I’m saying that as a total nerd back when I was in high school.
But that was the 20th century when even the black kids in class thought it wasn’t a big deal to read a book over 100 years old with words like that.
Pretty soon, they’ll have to rewrite PC versions of every classic book.
Forgive me for being....”ignorant”....but why isn’t RAP music being banned due to the N-word’s constant usage? Isn’t that offensive and causing mental anquish?
