This is as good as an endorsement of the book. Even better.
Future generations are just screwed.
But homosexual and porn books are OK in the school library.
The Snowflakes are going to have to learn to live with “offensiveness” and stuff that “upsets” their little weenies.
For something that will really trigger them, they should try reading Aesop’s Fables.

Surprised by my Packers’ surprise loss tonight. Since it was almost 11:30, I decided to watch the start of a show I almost never watch anymore, Saturday Night Live.

Orwell, Calling Orwell, did Big Brother not allow himself to be mocked by the comedians in 1984, I can’t remember from my reading of it? Were there only government comedians in 1984 like SNL, Colbert and Kimmel?

He was only 47 ?
Required reading in my high school back in the day.
Books that are not considered offensive now are books describing Gay Sex.
