Seriously. If we're going to remove every non-fiction title that contains ideas which make someone or other uncomfortable, we might as well give up on the idea of a library altogether. Just put some blank sheets of paper and crayons in there, and forget about the whole "book" thing.

This is not a library. It is a reading list put out by the school district.

I oppose censorship. This isn't it.

".....and forget about the whole "book" thing."

Or better yet forget about the whole public school thing.

BTW, this thread should be retitled "the death of common decency leads to the death of common sense."
