this was Banned Books Week.

i'm so ashamed i forgot about this.

GO READ A BANNED BOOK.

"In February of this year, the Pennsylvania NAACP announced a campaign to remove Huckleberry Finn from the state's school reading lists. The irony is that this book, originally criticized for showing slaves in a favorable manner, is now lambasted for its "racist tone.""

being from PA and having went to a small school, i can safely say that Huck Finn was not available in my high school library. Catcher in the Rye? sure. Huck Finn? nope.
