I could see the removal of Huckleberry Finn coming even when I was in high school in the early 1980s. My liberal English teacher read passages out of it and substituted “black” for the “N” word. He then gave a speech that took up half the class about how inappropriate the “N” word is in literature. And this was back in a suburban high school class in the early 1980s.

I guess I escaped having a nascent SJW for a teacher. But: Texas. Possibly.

What did your English teacher think of Blazing Saddles?
