To Teach or Not to Teach

The arguments about teaching the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in schools are that the book is racist and the constant use of the "N" word is unnecessary.  Some people think that  it is a good lesson for students to learn about real life because they are going to hear the the word anyway and we can't shelter our children from it, but teach them that it is not a good word to say. Some people think that we should teach our children to be aware of  the word, but The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is not they way to go about teaching it.
