P 2the C: Politically Correct?




Not sure if you heard Huck Finn is getting a Makeover...


‘Huckleberry Finn,’ Minus the N-Word

"The new book will also remove usage of the word Injun. The effort is spearheaded by Twain expert Alan Gribben, who says his PC-ified version is not an attempt to neuter the classic but rather to update it. “Race matters in these books,” Gribben told PW. “It’s a matter of how you express that in the 21st century.”



Do we want kids reading this book today to think that the usage of that word is ok?
... I think it's a good thing
