I hate humans that prohibit knowledge to this degree....as far as I am concerned, forget respect, some people need the stupid slapped out them! How dare us point fingers at Iraq, Iran, and other countries! We are turning into a whole crew of Nazi's ourselves, and if this confuses you. The Nazi's burnt books that went against their ideas and thought processes. Banning, prohibiting, is just a slight step away from lighting up a match and saying goodbye ideas, goodbye thought processes that go against my own, goodbye independent thinking, and goodbye intelligence.
Puritans Run Amok – Schools ban Anne Frank and Webster’s Dictionary
Since when is one parent complaining about a book enough to get it pulled from schools?
In seemingly unrelated incidents, a Virginia school district has yanked Anne Frank’s famous diary off its curriculum and shelves, because of a short passage about genitalia:
There are little folds of skin all over the place, you can hardly find it. The little hole underneath is so terribly small that I simply can’t imagine how a man can get in there, let alone how a whole baby can get out!
But if that weren’t silly enough, a school district in Southern California has pulled the Merriam Webster dictionary from all school shelves because (I’m not making this up), it has an entry for “oral sex” (defined as “oral stimulation of the genitals”).
Both incidents were caused by a single complaint from a parent.
