Fired for Reading Mark Twain

Selwyn Duke

Itâ€™s right up there, or down there, with how a British politician got charged with "hate speechâ€ for reading an excerpt from a Winston Churchill book:

A professor at St. Johnâ€™s University in New York City was recently fired â€” after a complaint from just one student â€” for reading a Mark Twain book that lampoons racism.

What was the problem?

2 It was a Literature of Satire class and students were prepared to contradictory topics. The N-word was read from the anti-slavery novel by a teacher who actually taught about the evils of stereotyping. Born into a family of Holocaust survivors, she was the last one to get fired because of such a nonsence, she was helping me write my research paper on Literature the day before that.
