TRENTON, N.J. – The beloved Mark Twain novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is considered one of the most famous pieces of classic American literature.

_
Why?
A resolution sponsored by Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson and Assemblyman Jamel Holley, both Democrats, declares that “[t]he novel’s use of a racial slur and its depictions of racist attitudes can cause students to feel upset, marginalized or humiliated and can create an uncomfortable atmosphere in the classroom.”
