I see little difference between this type of nonsense from a conservative school board and the kind that comes from progressive "woke" school boards when they try to restrict access to books like Huckleberry Fin because, god forbid, as literary products of the late 19th century, they contain the word "negro" and so forth..

- vanusa 5y agoActually The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn did contain numerous instances of the full-blown N-word. And that's what drives most of the opposition to featuring it in HS curricula. (I'm not sure if it every used "negro" as such). Which are unfortunate (these curriculum removals), in my view -- because they blunt the discussion of just how pervasively racist American society was at the time. And in effect, serves to further enshrine and empower the word's status as a weapon and trigger.
