Removing the "n" word removes an opportunity to teach the historical context of the times that the book was about and in which it was written. <br><br>Nicely written.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106610557271991863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522057904478273497.post-53879299923168194982011-01-05T05:08:51.772-08:002011-01-05T05:08:51.772-08:00Definitely thought about you when I heard about th...Definitely thought about you when I heard about this yesterday. And I wholeheartedly agree with you. I wonder if, next, they're going to edit out the violence in the Bible? (I know, I know. They aren't even in the same section at the library, but still!!)<br><br>I was a bit of a precocious child, and therefore started reading John Grisham at an early age. Many of his books take place in Mississippi, both present-day and past, and use a lot of language that would make the censors of Huck Finn more consternated than a 10-lb wheel of cheese (is that a different "const-" word? Hmmm...) so I have to wonder if they're going to "edit" (read: censor) all books using that language. Or is it simply because so many younger people read Huck Finn?<br><br>Anyway, love the post, Sara! Keep up the great work!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03626613720178406931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522057904478273497.post-24871433230438292922011-01-05T03:29:39.767-08:002011-01-05T03:29:39.767-08:00Just heard about this.
