Offended Virginian Leftists Ban "To Kill a Mocking Bird," "Huck Finn" In Schools
Tap! Tap! Crack!
Oops, there goes another yardstick. Oh, well. Ahem!
Class, do I have your attention? Dino, quit throwing spitballs, you little brat. Thank you.
Ahem! Class we were to be reading and then discussing for study "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by the celebrated by some Mark Twain. The entire point of "Huckleberry Finn" is that racism is evil and wrong.
But--Oh, nooooo! It has n-words! Oodles of n-words! Not PC! Not PC at all!
Offensive alert! Offensive alert!
Run away, children! Run away!
Find your little safe zones! That's it!
Duck and cover! Hide! Hide! Hide!
Whatever you do, don't let the real classical literary world ever contaminate all you super sensitive little brainwashed babies!
And never the real world either!

Now listen up, class. It's time for the word of the day.
The word for today has four syllables and is spelled h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y for hypocrisy.
Say hy-po-cri-sy. Very good.
What's that little dino? Oh, so your parents say banning classical lit due to n-words is intellectual hypocrisy due to pop culture ghetto gutter profanity tolerance.. Who cares what your parents say? I work for the public school system.
Say, how'd little dino learn such big words anyway?
Oh, your parents. Cough!
Class, who can tell me what a hypocrite is?
No, class, you raise your little hands. You do not point at me.
What happened to ancient Rome comes to mind.
Great literature often offends and always causes people to think. "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "Huck Finn" are two such works and should remain in libraries and in school curricula across the country.
They cause us to recall a time when the country was different and change was in the air. They provide us with a view of the world that should nlt be forgotten, but studied so as to prevent them from occurring again.
