It this Book Racist? Should it be taught in schools?

The main issue of this book is, is it racist? I honestly, in my point of view dont think that this book is racist, but i dont think that any one can say that it is or isnt a racist novel. In the end i think that the fact of the book being racist or not is all in ones opinion. in the movie that we watched the mother and the daughter were very upset and hurt by this book and most definatley thought that htis book was racist. But then from the converstaion of our peers and of my own opinion the book is not racist in our eyes, that was the time period and it should be precieved as it was, not sugar coated. I know every thing has two sides and now im supposed to pick a side and write about it, but with a topice such as racism i dont htink one person can jsut pick on side you have to open yourself up to the fact that others might get upset and hurt by this book and acknowledge that fact. So in reality is the book racist? I think it depends and i want to write about both sides of the argument. I will use the movie most of all for this section of my paper. The second part of this paper is asking if it should be taught in schools. In my opinion i dont think that this book should be taught in school because i thin kit is a horrible book. I think that Twain had no idea what he was doing when he wrote this and i think that he had no plan or full thought to the book at all. Not only was the dialouge completely and utterly painful to read but the whole story boared me. There were few parts like hwen Huck realizes that Jim is a man and accepts that he is going to hell. the end of the book however was completly horrible, i will use a majority of the critics that you gave to us because i thin ktha ti can find something in all of them to support my case. even the parts that say that it is a good book i will just rip on it!
