ONE LITTLE, TWO LITTLE, NO LITTLE INDIANS

Lakota East High School, in Ohio (state motto: we can spell our state's name, provided you break us into two groups), has cancelled their scheduled performance of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians".

Why?

Because the original title of the play had a racial slur in it. Yes, that racial slur.

So, they don't have a problem with the play itself.
And there's no problem with the name "Ten Little Indians".
Or with Ms. Christie herself.
But because in 1939, some fifty years before any of the actors in this high school play were even born, Agatha Christie titled her book both poorly and insensitively (a title, I might add that was changed when it was printed in the United States one year later) and so therefore it would be in bad taste for the school to put on the play.

Because of an obscure title that I'm sure most people, myself included, didn't even know existed.

Wow.

Let's hear it for critical thought and logic, eh?
