Want to stay on the cutting edge? Choose a few of these and give yourself twenty minutes a day to read. Maybe we are finally learning what the universe has been trying to tell us about being interconnected?

I need to bulk up my library! This is a topic that needs to be discussed in schools on a regular basis to keep the topic fresh in their minds.

Huckleberry Finn is now censored for school curriculum use

I listened on MPR's morning show when the Prof. who did this was on to discuss. I admit that I think it is not necessary to sanitize the language- while I understood the teacher who called in to say it would be nice to teach the book without addressing the "N" word, I think that addressing it is part of what the book has to teach. I'm curious if you caught any of that on MPR?

I think it is so dumb to censor Huckleberry Finn. The book is a great read and a good look at how some people thought in those days. Might help us understand our history. Teachers can explain the background for students. I read something about this in the NY Times. Thanks for the post Nathan. I think this is an important topic for us to be thinking about.
