whatever the reasoning, it's stupid and rather pathetic.
are we gonna have Turkeylet instead of Hamlet because ham is offensive to Jews, Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists, Zionists etc? is The Old Man and the Sea going to become the Old Woman and the Sea for the feminists? will Moby Dick become Moby Clit? what about books that talk about queers and faggots? will they receive the same attention? will the terms suddenly be replaced with "happy" and "rainbow" to make them less offensive? when you get right down to it LIFE is offensive, so how about just killing everyone and being done? (i am not serious, killing people is bad) | ||||

I posted Apagracia's post as my facebook status (with her as credited).
mostly it's upon what parents think about it and what the school system is doing (mostly in the urban communities). Hell if it goes that far as to change it. it would be better off to not cange it and call it a banned book or shouldn't be in the ciricular book. I read as a class book about a 14 year old girl that got raped but calling someone the n-word. OMG the world is going to an end.

woo! i'm famous! thanks Echo!
i agree with you. they should rather just take the book off the "required reading list" or whatever. they have ABSOLUTELY no right to change the book. but honestly, has no one in power ever heard of George Santayana? how about "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"? and i bet the people behind the editing are the same ones that call outrage over holocaust denial too. >:[ seriously bedtiems for Gracey though, or she's gonna pop a vein for real. night, gang! :3 | ||||
