  1. Just save Mark Twain for college level American Lit… not suggesting removing the book from schools, just leave it off the lesson plan. Kids can read it on their own if they want. Mark Twain is great and a fun/easy read for teens because he writes in vernacular, but he did not shy away from controversial subject matter.. Mark Twain was a huge advocate for black people’s rights and yes he used the N word to make his writings about black people as realistic as possible.. you cant write about America without writing about racism after all. We read Mark Twain in my college American Lit class, but professor let black students read the parts with the N word and allowed them to talk about their feelings about it and what it means to them.. it was actually very therapeutic for everyone in the class i think
