Sherlock Holmes removed from school for being anti-Mormon ›

This is a topic that Nicole and I find really interesting, i.e. how do we respond to racist, sexist, religionist (did I just make that word up? maybe) moments in classics. Obviously they are a sign of the times in which the book was  written, but do or should they make a difference in how we feel about the book?


Watch for an upcoming show on this topic.
