 Vulgarity.  Poor grammar.  Low morals.  Heresy.  Nudity.  Sexism.  Racism.  Do these sound like words to describe required reading in high school?  Can you believe your teachers would force you to read a book like this?  Well, this is just what many high school teachers are doing.  Forcing their students to read Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  Are you surprised?  Well, this book is one of the most challenged book in the last century.  And yet, it is considered an American classic.  How can that be?
