Boredom strikes again....
Came across this article about censorship, specifically about the harm censorship will do to Mark Twain's masterpiece, "Huckleberry Finn." I'm with you all the way, Mr. Gribben. I especially love the fact that he believes "If we can't do that [explore racism in the context of culture and history] in the classroom, we can't do that anywhere." Right on.
Speaking of satire (and we are if we mention "Huckleberry Finn,") here is another excellent article penned in the same fashion. I think I have a girl-crush on Ms. Petri (or at least her prose).
