Kevin Drum posts on a plan to publish a version of Huckleberry Finn with "nigger" replaced by "slave". He goes with a lesser of two evils: better to have the book taught in high school even bowdlerized than restricted to college. I disagree.
[Updated: interesting comment thread at Ta-Nehisi Coates on this issue. University Diaries also has a post.]
