I find this really funny. Jim is the hero and the moral center of the story, yet people do not want to read the story.

My daughter who is black tells me all the readings at all the Highschools are about black women victims...they are abused and sexually promiscuous. My daughter was embarrassed. This is how the left views blacks.

"We want to be sensitive to how the children feel," said Lynette Sutton,

Simple, re-write and re-issue a version for schools.
This could be done with most of the great novels and we'd put an end to this nonsensical bickering and at the same time spare our children's sensitivities. /sarc off

Okay. Now I want all books which refer to "white trash" and "trailer trash" banned, hillbilly, etc., too, for slurs against caucasians!

Jim, in the story, bore a title reflecting his station in life, in similar proportion to the way "white trash" refers to being "white".

But then, it requires far less effort to complain than to learn.

I think ibrahim mohamed and his clan need some sensitivity training.

A classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.

The greatest American writer ever is now under attack.

I could easily teach Huck and Tom to kids...even ghetto kids...hell, Jim is sorta the hero at times and explain the times in which it was written.

These folks are lazy do gooders....don’t want to have to take the time....just point their Ichabodian fingers.

Now they have Dog...lol
