New edition of Huck Finn being edited

[Chief Walking Stick]

While I think it's silly, but it's not really worth an outrage, it's not like all copies of Huck Finn is being replaced by this edited version. Isn't the problem more with teachers and schools being afraid of being sued by parents who object to having their kids subject to this "nasty" word, especially southerns who have a hard time dealing with their past.

And really, does it really matter if the word is replaced, people reading will still know the original word, so what has exactly changed?

I think the outrage is because of censorship, no?

I actually found that there are already abridged/edited versions where the word was taken out. I think maybe it's more of story because they're replacing it with "slave"
