Huckleberries Adventures Through Society

The movie we watched in class brought up some very interesting points in regards to the use of the N word in his novel. I believe that this shouldn't even be an issue. People want to whitewash a primary source! That's crazy to me you cannot just forget a part of history and even thought it might hurt and you might feel offended by it you simply cannon forget it. That would be like just forgetting in 100 years from now the Darfur Genocide, or in 50 years trying to pretend the Holocaust even happened. The "slogan" of the holocaust today, i would say is "Never Forget". Why would anyone want to simply forget the hardships their people faced in the past. It just doesn't register with me.  

I also don't like how schools actually were listening to the parents about banning this book. In most districts the parents are blue collar workers. Why would educators listen to non-educators in relation to a education issue who do you think knows better, parents or teacher. 

People need to get over the offensive aspect of the book. Sometimes learning takes more that just listening to a teacher, it takes self thought and actually thinking how this word affects you today, and how this word was used in the past.
