This revision, I ...Thanks for the link, Wysteria... This revision, I agree with you entirely, is a gross distortion of reality and truth and will teach children that revisionism is okay. Why not use the book to DISCUSS the issue of racism and the development of social enlightenment? Twain is one of your country's most brilliant historical figures, and this is a slap in his face. But then again, considering your mainstream media, of which Fox News is a shining example, TRUTH is not very popular in the USA these days.Franciscahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733111654769386624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4680468025552049700.post-67600381839019434002011-01-06T21:28:59.719-05:002011-01-06T21:28:59.719-05:00I must have missed that one.
