DUBUQUE, Iowa, July 16 (UPI) -- An Iowa teacher's aide was fired for allegedly disrupting classes to tell students Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is racist.
Records released last month show Naiya Galloway, 31, was fired from her job at Hillcrest Family Services, a private K-12 school, after telling a classroom in October that "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was a racist book and should not be taught in schools, the Des Moines (Iowa) Register reported Sunday.
