They are replacing it with an edited version more appropriate for schools.
I don't think they should, but they are. >.<

I think editing the book to make it "more appropriate" is stupid. Yes, it's a bad word, etc. But the entire book is a piece of satire. It sort of like...ruins the satirical part if you change it to that much of an extent. It's like having to explain a joke and the joke isn't funny anymore. If kids can't handle the word used in context like that, then parents need to do a better job teaching them maturity.

That or the teachers need to explain the american history better... It happened.. its not going away.. and there are books written with that time setting in them. Words in that time setting are needed to make the readers feel as if they can see the image and pain!

That loud, incessant thudding you hear is Mark Twain rolling over in his grave. -.-

THere's just so much wrong with society today, and this certainly isn't helping. -__- I can just say that I'm glad that I read the book before the censorship.
