Many schools require a permission slip before kids are assigned The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn because the n-word is used up and down in the book.

Really? It’s been many, many moons since I’ve read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I don;t remember the n-word being used, but maybe I blocked it out as it wasn’t a word anyone in our house used.

I had no idea kids need a permission slip to read it now, but I guess that doesn’t really bother me. If I still had a young one in the house and he was going to read a book with that word in it, then I’d want to aware of it so we could talk about it.
