But seriously, all because of "Nigger"? Jesus I am sad to live in America today, have a bunch of pussies who don't appreciate good literature because of one simple word.

[Biotoxsin]

Hell, anyone who's read the book knows that Atticus tells Scout not to say nigger because it's not polite/proper.

:doh:

So the people rating me dumb or disagree care to answer as to where else in the world they would ban an anti racism book because of a racist word?

Or do you intend on continuing being stupid?[/QUOTE]

Are you trolling by blatantly attacking every american facepuncher reading this thread or what?

[Pretiacruento]

For fuck's sake... first it was [url=http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1018721-The-horror!-Oral-sex-definition-prompts-dictionary-ban-in-US-schools]soccer moms complaining about the "oral sex" definition in dictionaries and wanted it banned from them[/url] and now this?!

nothing to see here, wrong thread

[ExplodingGuy]

Jesus fucking christ, who the hell put the dumbasses in charge in that county? Complete fucking bullshit, needlessly removing important pieces of literary history just because it has a word in it, that may or may not be offensive to some people? Even if it is offensive, fuck flagler county, this should never happen in school.

[Deac]

Now this is just rediculous.

[PGunnii]

I like how this thread is like "ONLY IN AMERICA LOLOL"

When really I'm sure this wouldn't happen in a city NOT made up of bible-thumpers and didn't have churches around every corner.

[tehfrog]

this is so ironic that i'm contemplating suicide.

[Solo Wing]

Bunch of damn whiners. Its a WORD, a word only hurts you if you LET it. >_> I swear, so many immature people these days.

[Shoe Phone]

So why doesn't the principal send out fliers to the surrounding community that says "warning: our school's play of To Kill a Mockingbird may contain offensive language." At least then the community can't be angry when they were warned about it.

[nemmises5]

I just got finished reading that book for my sophomore class damned good book too :colbert:

[Crypto356]

It's a great book, shame with what happened.

[kybalt]

i think school should be banned the kids might learn something

[Stinky]

Dammit I read books with worse language in 7th grade English, including TKaM.

They have the whole movie in the game? Cool.

[Ronin]

Nigger is latin for black, so its origin is actually a color, nothing more. It's just a fact.

[QUOTE=General_Xing;25880892]That book is fucking boring.[/QUOTE]

[The Doctor]

I said nigger every time
