re: Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird banned in VA school

You know how I know she's never actually read To Kill a Mockingbird? Because if she had, she'd realize it was FAR ahead of it's time in terms of showing racial hatred and the persecution of an innocent black man. For frick's sake...Atticus Finch ought to be a damn civil rights hero.

If you read that book and come away upset that the word nagger was used and you don't grasp the actual message of the book, then you're an idiot...which is what any reasonable educator should have politely told this lady.
