A few months ago, I took a different than normal bus home from work, which led to my being “entertained” for 45 minutes by two young black men repeatedly calling each other the “N” word. That just goes to show the harm that can come from forcing students to read “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.” /sarcasm

They should publish an edition of Huck Finn suitable for use in schools, in which the N-word is replaced by "African American" or "slave" (depending on the context).
