I know that sensible folks know that banning Huckleberry Finn from these classes is wrong. :)

Too bad they've been embarrassed to have you as an advocate.

And that the authorities have banned such racist nonsense from our children's education...and that bozos like you have not only been proven wrong but are losers as well.

Well, judging by this thread, you and the book-banners have something in common. You both make snap judgments on scant evidence which you then encase in pure titanium. Your opinions are uneducatable because you'd rather "win" the argument then benefit from it.

Huck Finn is as far from "racist nonsense" as anything written by Frederick Douglass. The reasons why have been amply pointed out by several of the posters here. Indeed, the biggest example of "racist nonsense" displayed was by the kneejerk parent who triggered the whole flap, exposing his/her utter ignorance to anyone who has read the book thoughtfully.
