New Jersey Politicians: We Don’t Want ‘Huck Finn’ in Schools

Share this article

Apparently, two state legislators in New Jersey no longer want the Mark Twain book, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” (known as “Huck Finn”) to be used in New Jersey schools because of the use of the N-word. It seems ironic that some legislators want to ban the book due to sensitivities, when politicians typically criticize others for being similar to Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler, who burned and banned books.
