Greetings.
My name is Megan. I am a Caucasian
female residing in the underwhelming state of Indiana. I attend Saint Joseph’s High School, an elite
Catholic school, and I am a current junior at this fine institution. However, I am not Catholic. As a Christian, I do share many of the same
beliefs as any Catholic such as equality and dignity before God. I am rather indifferent on the necessity of,
“Huck Finn,” being taught in schools. I
do not believe it should be required, yet at the same time I do not feel the
need for it to be banned. I am not sure
that I agree with the novel being elevated to its masterpiece status. However, I do feel strongly about the
presence of the word “nigger” and believe that for educational purposes, it
should remain uncensored. This epithet is a powerful word with strong
connotations that can do one of two things: Offend those reading, or provide a
deeper insight to the horrors of racism.
I side with the latter option.
Clearly that is my opinion. Check
out my blog whether you agree or disagree.
I am sure you will be persuaded to give your idea a second guess.
