Spent $45 on a 'clean' edition of a banned book that cut out all the good parts

I bought a copy of 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian' online, and the description said it was a 'school edition'. Turns out, it was heavily edited, removing whole chapters about poverty and race that are central to the story. Has anyone else been tricked by these sanitized versions of banned books?

Guess they wanted to protect you from the whole point of the book.

They cut out the poverty parts? That's the whole book...
