huck finn

so, for my essay i am planning on stating that huckleberry finn is a racist novel, hovever it should be tought in school. huck finn teaches students about the severity of racial intolerance, or if it does not teach them about it, huck finn definetely engrains intolerance more solidly into a students mind. i do think that the teaching of huck finn should be partenered with a us history class (like this year), this way the book can more easily be put into context. also during the time that this bok was set, racial slurs were the common way to refer to people of a race other than your own.
