- 26761: Animal Testing
- ... animal experimentation was eliminated, it would free up 6.8 billion dollars that could be used for education programs and medical assistance programs for low-income individuals.

- 26763: Huckleberry Finn Contraversy
- ... to African Americans, is used 215 times in the novel. Today that term is considered racist; however, back when the book was written, it was a common expression. Nowadays slavery is unacceptable, whereas in Twain's time, it was ordinary. Critics have stated that Huck Finn is unacceptable for school children. They contest that the novel was written for adult readers because of graphic scenes. Some of these episodes would include Huck faking his own death and Jim finding Pap's dead body lying in a boat. These analysts argue that children should be forbidden to read the publication. In this day and age, High schoolers should be able to handle the material offered in Twain's timeless edition.

- 26766: Huckleberry Finn 8
- ... published in 1885 and immediately banned by the Concord, Massachusetts, Public Library. In some ways, not much has changed since 1885. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Mark Twain are included in the American Library Association's lists of the ten most frequently challenged books and authors of 1996. Tracing the history a little further back, Attacks on the Freedom to Learn, '96, a report by People for the American Way, lists them among the ten most frequently challenged books and authors of 1982 to 1996.

When Huckleberry ...
