Mark Twain, a Notorious Radical From Way Back

Except Huckleberry Finn, of course, but I think that goes without saying. https://t.co/L6rLPijExl

Good luck finding that novel in your local high school library or curriculum (here's why), and never mind what you may have once been taught about moral inversion characters in American literature. 

Hemingway once said "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called [Redacted, until I clear the rest of that sentence with Miss Dismal]," but then he is also under suspicion today, to say the least. 

As for Mark Twain, or whatever his real name may be, he was exactly the kind of irreverent and unpatriotic scoundrel that DHS would have policed right out of our marketplace of ideas. Read him on the Spanish-American War or the American Indian, for instance, or just see this. 

Our contemporary mis, dis, and mal information is actually kind of tame by comparison.
