Tap! Tap! Crack!
Oops, there goes another yardstick. Oh, well. Ahem!
Class, do I have your attention? Dino, quit throwing spitballs, you little brat. Thank you.
Ahem! Class we were to be reading and then discussing for study "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by the celebrated by some Mark Twain. The entire point of "Huckleberry Finn" is that racism is evil and wrong.
But--Oh, nooooo! It has n-words! Oodles of n-words! Not PC! Not PC at all!
Offensive alert! Offensive alert!
Run away, children! Run away!
Find your little safe zones! That's it!
Duck and cover! Hide! Hide! Hide!
Whatever you do, don't let the real classical literary world ever contaminate all you super sensitive little brainwashed babies!
And never the real world either!

    By the time I got past a contrary anti-ad blocker, it was time for the SEC Title Game. Just read the article during half time.
    Glad to say I was never that kind of censorship Republican. Thanks to chicken RInos who bowed to King Barry, I started to call myself an independent even before I learned there is such a thing as GOP elites who would not support Trump for viewing their power as more important than saving the American people from the evil hag and what she would have done to the Supreme Court.
    I voted the Republican straight ticket but I do not consider myself a hypocrite due to the evil I was trying to defeat.
    Free speech is free speech. There is nothing about the concept to misunderstand.
    That is not the same as yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater. But if someone wants to preach or print sermons about eternal paradise with Beelzebub, that's something this Christian is free to ignore but not to shut down.
    Oops, game is back on.

    In To Kill a Mockingbird it was mainly the villains who used that word. (Although I have to
    admit that the innocent defendant used it a couple
    of times about himself, but that just shows how
    oppressed he was*), Huck was not presented as a
    perfect person.

    You're welcome.
    Atlas Shrugged teaches the wrong lessons if you want to teach others how to be snowflake sheeple manipulated by control freak progressive fascists.

    Gotcha. Rand said the same. Recall Dagny's manifesto to Cheryl: "Yes, those are the things I do not feel."

    Thanks for giving this to the Gulchers free.
    There is another way to ban books that might be even more insidious...just make sure that no one knows that they ever existed. There was a time when Atlas Shrugged was required reading in a lot of major universities. It was also listed on the "hundred books to read" lists for years. Now just try to find it mentioned almost anywhere. Then copies of the book will gather dust on library shelves and be removed because of lack of interest. Thus it will suffer the same fate as a banned book without the public outrage and attention.

    Some would have you progressively believe that it devolves for being living and breathing.

    Thank you. Wish I could remember which Gulcher advised me to stop calling Progressives socialists and to start calling them fascists.
    Quickie research I then did revealed that communists totally take over businesses while fascists like Nazis just tell them what to do or else.
    I realized we have big government control freak fascism already.

    Sitting here with a big smile. I love your analogy.
    Might be the funniest and saddest at the same time.

    The delicate snowflakes can have n-words with rap music. What libtards would call well-rounded.

    In the words of Huck's father, "Call this a gummint?"
    That's outrageous. Two of the greatest American novels ever written are banned so as to not offend the delicate snowflakes? A pox upon them! Bah, pshaw, and similar expletives. We seem to be edging into the world of Ray Bradbury and his book about a world where books are banned and set on fire. Good grief, if my great grandkids can't read Mark Twain, they might as well forsake reading altogether and just sit and stare at their video games and smarter-than-them phones until their thumbs are frozen by arthritis.

    Logic? What about FEELINGS?
    (Psst! Me dino is just being sarcastic to what is truly important to a libtard).

    And all this whilst celebrating pure tripe like "Catcher in the Rye."
    If you refuse to understand the past there is no way to understand the present.

    No classics?..one will lack integration...that's the point, Just more fake solutions to fake problems administered by fake people in their made up fake world...sounds like the matrix.

    Just another vote by the ignorant to keep others ignorant.

    This is several kinds of ridiculous. To Kill a Mockingbird was, if anything, a left-friendly story. And they want to ban that?!? And The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn hits the institution of slavery harder than anything else Mark Twain said or wrote. But that's right: we deal here with minds that don't know from logic.
