It seems the courts long ago opened the doors to the original canon of banned books - pornography - so the banners are now schools and libraries, not governments, and the banning seems mostly on grounds of age-appropriateness, political correctness, and the bureaucrat's fear of stirring up trouble. I've posted on the fruitlessness of book banning and Fanny Hill and will soon be considering Huckleberry Finn.RasoirJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04379401909719331763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165146857489853420.post-54189645309225194292010-09-13T21:10:34.579-04:002010-09-13T21:10:34.579-04:00A little late to the party, I'm afraid, but my...A little late to the party, I'm afraid, but my post is up.

People who think that they can make decision for other people or for other people's children drive me absolutely crazy. I don't tell them what to read, so they should kindly keep their mouths shut!

Captain Underpants! People have way too much time on their hands. I know teachers that have the whole series in their class. If it gets your kid to read, let him read it! And I died laughing about the sex and religion in the Twilight series. Where? I'm going to have to go back and read it again. I missed both! Thanks for bringing this to my attention! My local school system did not ban TTYL, but invited her to come and do a reading and discuss her book at the high school.
