“Huckleberry Finn,” a book written by Mark Twain, is a famous American story. But, some schools in the U.S. don’t let students read it. Even though it is an important book, some people don’t like how it talks about race and uses bad language. It has now a censored version, too.

Because it’s an honest portrayal of America at that time. It makes racists look bad and it shows that the N-word itself isn’t the source of the pain, it’s how the label is used.
Because it humanizes oppressed minorities and shines a light on racism.
Literally the same reason every book gets banned in the US
I remember when we studied this the only version I could find was an abridged version and I looked so clueless in class when we discussed it.
