I wish this was the most horrifying part of this situation. The SAME people wanting these books accessible, are the people who wanted to remove books like "Huckleberry Finn", "To Kill A Mockingbird", among others. These books are necessary are talk about a time period where racism abounded in every area of life. It teaches children what happened so that it NEVER happens again. So, when our next generation grows up spitting the "N" word in casual conversation- they are also upset because "they should know better". Exactly how are they going to know if you censor books in the interest of not making kids in class "feel uncomfortable". Unless it's an instruction manual about sex- Then, if they're uncomfortable... who cares? Then, it's necessary? No, IT'S NOT
