Thank you for that address. Political correctness in literature is censorship.

The thing is —that history is messy —history is full of things we regret and I'm sure the folks that want to rewrite history (Mark Twain's epic novel) like most of us, regret the way black people were treated in our country. But that being said, we can't rewrite history; it just “is”.

And again, that being said, are folks going to go after the rappers and rap music that is prevalent with the “N” word??
Doubt it....

"Political correctness in literature is censorship."

Well, the action was DONE in the name of "political correctness", but I would put action itself in exactly the same moral category as the Nazi book-burning episodes...only worse. At least the Nazis were above-board about it rather than destroying books by "stealth".

There is NO excuse for this kind of thing....NONE. This "author" should be driven from his university position and never be allowed to teach again. He has proven himself morally unfit to teach.
