"Our teacher told us that 'some of this material could make you squirm in your seat There are tens of thousands of English novels in the world, and today's educrats, sure nuff, zoom in to the "squirmy" ones, like flies to manure.

Some cannot resist the "Fundamentalists banning books again/Soon they'll build a bonfire like the Nazis" hyperbole.

I see the NEA's agenda as not just a dumbing down of America, but also a moral decay of America.
