Even more so as the lesson of that story is perhaps the single most important one for people to learn in modern times.

Almost everybody in that book is an awful person, especially the most 'upstanding' of types. Even the protagonist is an awful person. The one and only exception is 'N* Jim' who is the only kind-hearted and genuinely decent person in the book. It's an entire story about how the appearances of people, and the reality of those people, are two very different things.

It being banned for using foul language, as educational outcomes continue to deteriorate, is just so perfectly ironic.
