Racial Slur Prompts School To Cancel Play

[thundley4]

PALM COAST, Fla. -- A Florida school committee has canceled a high school production of "To Kill a Mockingbird" because of offensive language in the play.
The theater director at Flagler Palm Coast High School, Ed Koczergo, says the problem is the N-word. Koczergo says the word can't be removed from the script because of copyright laws.

It's a shame that political correctness can kill off the classics of literature.

What about us that find it offensive they are not doing the play?

20 years ago....ok, more than 20 years ago.  (But not 30)  My Junior High School in Texas performed this play.  

I loathe political correctness.  And, I am sooooooo happy I was born when I was.

I wonder if I can get the bunlet's middle school to allow me to direct the stage version of Blazing Saddles.
