Discuss. I heard of this a while ago, but wasn't sure if it was discussed here.

I don't think it's appropriate to censor anything, really. This is how the world used to be, and now it is not. That's a good thing for a child to know. You can't just brush things under the carpet and pretend it never happened.

That's nothing that new. I read Sawyer and Huck Finn when I was like 10, and it was definitely water beetnemesis - 04/01/2011 07:45:07 PM 862 Views

There's a difference between a kids' version and a normal version with a censored word, though. *NM* Legolas - 04/01/2011 11:19:26 PM 382 Views
Wouldn't the "kids' versions" ALREADY have that word excised? *NM* Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:53:09 PM 396 Views
Presumably, yes. *NM* Legolas - 05/01/2011 06:28:47 PM 398 Views
Exactly. *NM* Avendesora - 05/01/2011 01:04:16 AM 479 Views
Read real books then. What kind of ten year old needs to read dumbed down children's books? Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:21:27 PM 981 Views
That is just wrong. Maria - 04/01/2011 08:00:57 PM 904 Views
I agree. j-whitt987 - 04/01/2011 09:12:53 PM 962 Views
my gut says it wrong but my brain says it is OK random thoughts - 04/01/2011 09:11:00 PM 1055 Views
No, the goal of the book (or one of them) was to illustrate authentic dialogue. Your brain sucks. Cannoli - 04/01/2011 11:49:13 PM 868 Views
I hate it when I agree with you Camilla - 05/01/2011 12:09:37 AM 836 Views
yes but you are disagreeing with me so it is a wash *NM* random thoughts - 05/01/2011 04:09:54 PM 378 Views
I see logic isn't your strong point. random thoughts - 05/01/2011 04:09:27 PM 885 Views

it still boils down to the fact that most teachers will not use a book with word nigger in it random thoughts - 08/01/2011 02:55:29 AM 796 Views

Just because it's the point doesn't mean I have to like it. *NM* Darth_Katie - 05/01/2011 04:44:10 AM 367 Views
Reacting to "nigger" like that makes the word more hurtful. Tom - 05/01/2011 03:26:35 AM 934 Views
