Since it seems I am one sided: CBSC has made a lot of stupid decisions in the past, because simply they think be their actions results in everyone being satisfied. Good thing they don't control the contents of books, or maybe we would have words removed out of our books. 

I'd hate to see what those morons would do to Mark Twain's catalog of novels.

This is so bloody dumb that I can't even wrap my head around it.

Well you know it's  not just Canada with Mark Twain. (depending what it looks like there.)  Some publishing company is publising a new edition without the word nigger.   Replacing it with Slave.

Well we allow students in Grade 9 to read To Kill a Mockingbird uncensored. Don't know if schools offer Mark Twain. 

9th grade?  That was in our 6th grade slow readers class... I never did get a chance to read that cause I was actually in the advanced reading class.

I thought it was on the list of banned books in the USA? I read it much earlier, but it was one of the books we had to read along with Orwell books. (among others that year)
