St. George resident Laren Clark said she tried six months ago to donate the book the county library but was told the title was too inflammatory.

The "tolerance" of the left strikes again.

She should call HK Edgerton, he'll make them put it on the shelves!!!! BTW: I have a copy of the book and it's not what the liberals think, it tells the South's side of the story with no apologies (very refreshing)and exposes some common misconceptions about Dixie. I recommend it highly to Civil War buffs, history enthusiasts or anyone who wants to learn about both sides of the conflict without PC interferance.

too inflammatory....

I'm sure they don't have any black power books, conspiracy theory books, atheist books, porn books (disguised as art). That's inflamatory.

Tell the @sshole running the show that he is livin' off taxpayer funds and they want that book on the shelf! Nobody put him in charge of censorship.

If the Lieberry has the National Enquirer then this erudite tome should be included. But it has to be put in the Fiction-Fantasy section.

If they put it in the fiction section there wouldn't be a problem.

A retire teacher I know used to buy alternative texts--with his own money--to put in the library for the students to at least have access to. They would be accepted and about six months later when he checked, he would never find them. They would be quietly withdrawn. But he kept trying.

I've noticed that you can't always find these books in local bookstores. B&N is usually ok, but Borders has only 1 or 2 books from a Southern perspective. Hardly balanced.

It's so important to study both sides (ALL sides) of our history. The only reason for censorship is to promote ONE way of thinking. It's not in the best interest of Union sympathizers or Confederate decendants.

Oh, come now you fellows. Just give people Harry Potter and tell them to go buy a car. Go watch Harry Potter. Go on a trip to some place, using an airplane. Move along...

I betcha "Heather Has Two Mommies" is on their shelves. Librarians are typically first amendment freaks; I've never heard of any public library banning a book. Until now, that is.
