These are great books, but frm what i remember hearing at the time, certain schools (in the usa) werent reading these because they have words we now think are offensive and were especially offensive because of the historical setting. At least this means they get to read the books. I hope there teacher is afterwards explaining the original words, so they can talk about why theyve changed and try and get rid of the prejudise thats led to this.
