With you on Huck Finn. I do agree that if it's taught in a class, the students need to be old enough to understand concepts like "culture," "history," "irony," and so on, and the teacher is obligated to provide context and explicitly discuss how the N word functions in the novel. But taking it out really changes the novel significantly. It's not just an occasional "fuck," it's in there to show how racist thought pervades our view of the world.
