This. Get arrested for letting a kid read Huck Finn.

Hell, when I was still teaching high school English, when I had a kid say he/she couldn’t read Shakespeare because of religious reasons (total bullshit), I assigned them The Handmaid’s Tale as an alternate text. Yes, I fucked with their heads a little…but every single one of them came to me after and said thank you, but don’t let my mom know you made me read this.

Nah, Bible-thumpers who don’t want their kids exposed to a book about two male penguins caring for a chick or the life story of Michelle Obama are totally cool with Huck Finn and used to regularly defend it back in the day. No points will be rewarded for guessing why.
