You know what happened when I found the books with sexuality and curse words in them? Did it make me want to fuck and curse like a sailor? Not any more than before. Did it make me want to read? Hells yeah!

Yeah, kids shouldn't read the "Catcher in the Rye;" it might make them want to read...

Someone actually took the time to count how many times they said hell, goddamn, etc... in "Catcher in the Rye"? Sounds to me like someone needs a few more activites to fill out their day. However, if they are succsesful in getting "The Awakening" banned from school reading, more power to them. That book was one of the biggest POS's I have ever been forced to read. |

However I remember seeing one of his books on a ban list from a school in California because it supposedly painted homosexuals in a bad light. So it goes both ways. |

I'm wondering if the Bible is on their list of books, because I don't think they've read it...
Either that, or I missed the part where it said that God wants us to aspire to ignorance... |

Of course they want to ban books in Kansas City schools. Why does this surprise anyone? If you guys suddenly became literate and able to think independently, everyone would realize that Kansas City sucks, the Chiefs suck, and Texas has better barbecue. In the exodus that would inevitably follow such enlightenment, the Chiefs would lose at least three quarters of their fanbase.
No, no... King Carl can't have that! Better to keep 'em dumb and loyal. Ban the books, free cable for everyone!!! And you guys thought King Carl only ruined your lives during football season... |
