To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee taken off Mississippi school reading list

I'd be interesting to see what the school uses instead of Mockingbird ... and what the books are used "for." If you read Lee's "Comes a Watchman" and then re-read Mockingbird, the book may not "mean" exactly what you were taught it meant. (-:

I am curious though about who complained and exactly why. The local newspaper said the book's language made some uncomfortable, and I assume that meant the "n" word.
