Why is the teaching and reading of Huck Finn so controversial?

How have the criticisms about the book changed over the years?

How do these various criticisms reflect a changing America?

Under what circumstances, if any, do you think a book should be taken off a school's reading list and/or out of its library?

My little cousin is a 5th grader and she's doing a science fair project on "Which Solar Cooker Cooks the Fastest?" I'm not very fond of the wording of the question. The "Cooks" next to "Cooker" seems odd to me. Can anyone fix this? Keep to the topic! Or.. does it actually sound alright and I'm just wrong?

According to Act, we receive power to preach the gospel when the Holy Spirit is with us. We should teach them about Jesus’ love. We should help others by the name of God. We should not force non-Christians to believe in Christ because it is rude. We should help physically and mentally challenged people by giving them love and hands. We should encourage the weak and the poor that they will not suffer from thirst and hunger in heaven. We should be the leader of this world to preach the gospel. Then as we are happy, God in heaven will be even more proud of us and grant us the treasures. Even if we face the death, we shall not be afraid because God will be with us wherever we go. Preaching the words of God is significant because Jesus states the final sentence “you will be my witnesses.”

thank you for revising

My son seems to be overwhelmed by the normal things that are coming his way. He's involved with a sports team, and his roommate and he get along fine. He comes home almost every weekend and spends a lot of time with the kids that are still in high school. I commuted when I went to college and my husband didn't attend, so we don't know what he's going through- so any insight would be helpful.

The school board of Lee County must provide mediation programs ; designed to help students voluntarily resolve conflicts before they evolve into larger problems , provide students with mentors who have behavioral problems, and increase security measure because doing so will prevent violent altercations and provide students with a sense of safety and security while attending school.

My boyfriend's daughter was accepted to a desing program at another high school. Since she wants to go into graphic arts, she decided to go. The school is in an all black neighborhood, and was 75% black, 20% Spainsh, and 5% white or "other". We didn't think this would be that big of a problem, since her previous school was very diverse and there was never an issue.

After about the second week of school, the black students decided they wanted all of the white students gone, and were going to make their lives hell. They would hoot and holler at the girl and yell obscenities. One girl pushed her head into a locker! The teachers did nothing about it. In fact, they were barely even teachers. They spoke "ebonics" in class. I read several comments on her homework, and words were spelled incorrectly. My husband actually called one of her teachers, and the teacher said, "She ain't funna last here long!"

My question is, in this day and age, how could this happen? What if it were vice versa?
