Discuss. I heard of this a while ago, but wasn't sure if it was discussed here.

I don't think it's appropriate to censor anything, really. This is how the world used to be, and now it is not. That's a good thing for a child to know. You can't just brush things under the carpet and pretend it never happened.

New Edition of Huckleberry Finn will eliminate offensive words - 04/01/2011 07:16:36 PM 1706 Views
I am annoyed - 04/01/2011 07:41:37 PM 787 Views
That's nothing that new. I read Sawyer and Huck Finn when I was like 10, and it was definitely water - 04/01/2011 07:45:07 PM 807 Views
I wonder... - 04/01/2011 08:44:31 PM 820 Views
I believe... - 04/01/2011 09:08:13 PM 829 Views
That's new to me. - 04/01/2011 09:35:05 PM 774 Views
Grimm's Fairy Tales are awesomely dark - 05/01/2011 04:36:28 AM 760 Views
I knew that... - 05/01/2011 09:27:44 PM 765 Views
There's a difference between a kids' version and a normal version with a censored word, though. *NM* - 04/01/2011 11:19:26 PM 361 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 376 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 374 Views
Exactly. *NM* - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 454 Views
That is just wrong. - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 843 Views
I agree. - 04/01/2011 09:12:53 PM 913 Views
my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1001 Views
No, the goal of the book (or one of them) was to illustrate authentic dialogue. Your brain sucks. - 04/01/2011 11:49:13 PM 817 Views
I hate it when I agree with you - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 778 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 355 Views
I see logic isn't your strong point. - 05/01/2011 04:09:27 PM 825 Views
Re: I see logic isn't your strong point. - 08/01/2011 01:32:16 AM 837 Views
it still boils down to the fact that most teachers will not use a book with word nigger in it - 08/01/2011 02:55:29 AM 739 Views
You must have a very low opinion of black people... - 08/01/2011 07:34:14 PM 885 Views
*cough* Rodney King trial *cough* *NM* - 22/01/2011 07:06:20 PM 389 Views
Wow. Hmm. - 04/01/2011 09:31:27 PM 862 Views
naw Twain was a pinko liberal *NM* - 04/01/2011 09:46:57 PM 365 Views
It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:06:02 PM 767 Views
Heh. - 04/01/2011 11:26:00 PM 767 Views
Re: It's probably a bad idea - 04/01/2011 11:51:31 PM 852 Views
Just because it's the point doesn't mean I have to like it. *NM* - 05/01/2011 04:44:10 AM 346 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 883 Views
Well - 05/01/2011 02:03:58 PM 772 Views
Pshaw. - 05/01/2011 01:52:57 PM 791 Views
My thoughts exactly *NM* - 06/01/2011 08:42:42 AM 358 Views
