Derech HaMelech: You say the yeshiva might be required to teach Twain by law. Why? So they can get government funding, or be accredited? I refer you to the famous speech from R’ Gifter zt”l, where he bashed Rabbi Dr. Norman Lamm. In the speech, he attacked the fact that there was a gay student group in one of the YU graduate programs. His main point was that they went against what was right so they could get government money. He said it’s selling out Torah values for a few dollars, and it’s better to lose the money and close down than to go against what is right. Why doesn’t the same apply to what is taught in English classes?
