http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/01/04/new.huck.finn.ew/index.html...According to Publishers Weekly, NewSouth Books' upcoming edition of Mark Twain's seminal novel "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" will remove all instances of the N-word -- I'll give you a hint, it's not nonesuch -- present in the text and replace it with slave.
The new book will also remove usage of the word Injun...
The argument is that this will allow far more children to read the book, which has been banned by many school districts because of the use of these words.
I am always opposed to revisionist history. I don't care why they are doing it. Huck Finn is an American classic that is above tampering by bureaucrats.
