“Huckleberry Finn,” a book written by Mark Twain, is a famous American story. But, some schools in the U.S. don’t let students read it. Even though it is an important book, some people don’t like how it talks about race and uses bad language. It has now a censored version, too.

Because it humanizes oppressed minorities and shines a light on racism.
Literally the same reason every book gets banned in the US
