Mr. Yates, I forwarded your request to Millie Davis from NCTE. The organization has a division that deals specifically with challenges and responds quickly to teachers and administrators when such situations arise. As for "Huck," NCTE recently published an article, addressing the pedagogical rationale for retaining the novel as well as teaching strategies and approaches for classroom teachers. Jocelyn A.

This is a question, and a problem, that will not go away and that deserves the best any of us can give to it. Ken Sanderson
