Tom Sawyer

Should The Adventures of Tom Sawyer be taught in a gifted fifth grade =
language arts class? I am looking for some feedback since I am =
considering using Tom Sawyer as a classroom novel this year. My concern =
is whether material in the book would be considered offensive or =
politically incorrect in today's society.
