Hmm ...

... Send Huck Finn to College. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Maybe, better yet, we should simply outlaw the book altogether, so that you can only get it under the table in a plain brown wrapper. Plenty of people will want to read it then. Eventually, though, somebody will be busted, there will be a big court trial, some judge will position himself as a great hero of free expression and artistic values, the ban will be lifted, and the book will be a big bestseller, a la Lady Chatterley or Tropic of Cancer.
