Either that, or the part where he's talking about flowers, peut être. That's totally inappropriate for the classroom.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

That's dumb. Who gave you that edition and what could be so bad about those sentences?

I'm really curious now which four sentences, though it's been a while since I read the book. *NM*

Imagine how I feel. I'm hoping they at least make a mention of where they took it out. *NM*
