Why is the teaching of Huck Finn so controversial?
Have you ever wondered why the teaching of Mark Twain's classic novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, has sparked so much controversy in recent years? Some argue that the use of racial slurs and offensive language in the book is not appropriate for modern classrooms, while others maintain that it is an important piece of American literature that provides valuable insight into the history of slavery and racial discrimination. What are your thoughts on this contentious issue? Should Huck Finn be banned from school curricula, or should it continue to be taught as a way to educate students about the past and promote critical thinking?
