so vehemently against having this version available to schoolchildren.
When I was in my 20's I was in England for a summer doing Ag field work. I was appalled by all jokes about Irish people. I am half Irish and it really really got me down.
I find it outrageous that all these posters here in DU think that it is OK to humiliate African American children in school making them read a book with so may uses of this deplorable word. It is a very bad thing to do to a person, especially at this vulnerable time in life and especially when clearly, we as a society are not finished with racism yet.
I appreciate your posts and kudo's for standing up to Java.
