captain_slinkyI THOUGHT WE WERE DONE WITH THIS CRAP BACK IN THE 90'S!!! But there it was this morning on the KCPQ13 Morning News! A teenage girl DEMANDING that they remove Huck Finn from the libraries because it uses "The 'N' Word".
The school this girl goes to (in Renton) already dealt with this problem back in the Politically Correct days by making the book non-mandatory. It is part of the reading curriculum, but any child who is offended or does not want to read it can choose an alternate assignment. BUT THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR THIS GIRL!!! SHE WANTS THE BOOK ENTIRELY BANNED!!!
I guess that if you obliterate every copy of Huck Finn, it will mean that Slavery and "The 'N' Word" and Slavery will have never existed?
"Mommy, who was Harriet Tubman?"
"Oh, Harriet Tubman was a great woman! She helped do something for people who never existed, in a time that never happened, freeing them from somethign that didn't exist but was still very bad."
