Huckleberry Finn is a classic, and should not be banned. As the little girl in the DN article said, there are books in the school library with worse words.

I'm guessing that the vast majority of the books that she refers to do not have anywhere near the overall literary quality, cultural relevance or classic timelessness that Huckleberry Finn does.
I'm wondering how many books are in her school's library that refer to white people as "honkies" or 'Crackers" , or refer to Jews or Christians in unkind, mean and shocking ways yet those books are celebrated by the Left as being "important protest works authored by brave and oppressed minorities"?
