Those who do not know history, either through literature and/or historical books, are bound to repeat it. Ignorance is NOT bliss. Ignorance breeds contempt, repetition of wrongs, and no hope for the future. Right! We must make our children read books with racial slurs, so they know NOT to use racial slurs!
Are you kidding?

Jorge, you can't possibly be serious. Then again, maybe you are. I have a feeling you have not read the book, or perhaps you read it so long ago that you have forgotten the story but latched onto racial slurs.
May I ask if you have read it? May I ask why you think that our children aren't teachable and why you think that they would be like you, and only latch onto a racial slur rather than the entire meaning of the novel? May I ask why it is that you have such a chip on your shoulder?

That's exactly right Einstein. 1st valid point you've made all night. A little advise if you are ignorant on a topic shut up.
And if your digging yourself into a ditch stop digging.
