Unfortunately, in modern times, the responsibility of raising your children to be respectful of others has been taken over by government. In virtually every Western nation, political correctness is rife and books are being torn from the shelves by the handful. Some of these books make their way back, with revisions, but some have vanished entirely (at least for now). This is a list of the top 10 books considered to be politically incorrect.
10. Little House on the Prairie 1935, Laura Ingalls Wilder
This book is considered off limits now because of its treatment of American Indians (the Osage figure prominently in the story). Despite the fact that Laura Ingalls Wilder gives us a important historical look at social perspectives through this book, it is still considered bad. The book is based on decades-old memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s childhood in the Midwest region of the United States during the late 19th century.
9. Huckleberry Finn 1884, Mark Twain
Huckleberry Finn is undoubtedly the most challenged book in American history – to this day attempts are made to make the book more “suitable” for a modern audience. Although the Southern society it satirized was already a quarter-century in the past by the time of publication, the book immediately became controversial, and has remained so to this day. CBS Television went so far as to produce a made-for-TV version of Huck Finn that included no black cast members, no mention of slavery, and without the critical character Jim.
