One of the local school districts won't use Dan Gutman's "Jackie and Me" because 'it contains the N word.' Yeah, it does. To correctly portray the time that Jackie Robinson lived in. How about using that for a logical discussion, along the lines of how racial epithets and discrimination are not now, nor have they ever been right, but was considered acceptable at that moment in time?

And don't even get me started on "And Tango Makes Three!"
