'Black-ish' Star Deon Cole Fuming After 'To Kill A Mockingbird' Ban

**WARNING: Explicit language**

(TMZ) -- Black-ish star Deon Cole is FUMING after learning To Kill a Mockingbird was banned in the South and makes no bones about it -- it's a blatant attack on African-American history.

TMZ got Deon at LAX where we told him about about the ban that went down in Biloxi, Mississippi where the school board there removed the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic from its reading list because the language -- littered with N-words as it was set in the 1930s -- made people uncomfortable.

But Deon's calling BS ... saying banning the book is a clear attempt to cleanse American history.
