Nerd News: In Defense of Twain, Huck Finn, and Using Your Brain
Via Tigerhawk, see what Georgetown's Professor Christopher Chambers has to say about the latest mangling of Huckleberry Finn (a topic I had ranted about here), education, political correctness, and on the excesses of both Left and Right. Kudos, sir! What I would love to see is a debate between Professor Chambers and the man behind the new bowdlerization of Huck Finn, Professor Alan Gribben of Auburn University. For now, though, see this bit of nerdy awesomeness.
