The root cause of the problem is not the book or racial slurs. The root of the problem is socialized schooling. If we returned to a capitalist school system everyone's desires could be accommodated.
Jorge and the parent in the article could send their children to schools that banned anything containing words they don't like. Others could send their children to schools that teach from "Heather Has Two Mommies" while others could send their children to schools that taught a classical curriculum.
The market would provide for all these options and more.
As long as parents chose to subsidize their lifestyles by feeding at the public trough these kinds of situations are unavoidable.
I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner to your post, SUSSA. You have a good point and one that confirms my belief that the best school in the world for our children is home-school. Simply put, there are far too many weirdos out there and they seem to be gaining on us. ;)
