It just gets worse. Now there's a move on to ban books from Fairfax County Public Schools. These are some of the best schools in the nation, by any measure, and *still* they think something is wrong. I hope this is just a few nutjobs and it doesn't grow into a real movement. Their web page is at pabbis.org, but beware. It takes an eternity to load.
Why can't anyone leave well enough alone? I can't *believe* we're seeing a movement to ban books in 2001. I would have thought people would have figured out the idea of context by now. Dorks.
Well, I never got back to this. I'm thinking through a few things. I will write them eventually, but as I'm going hiking next week, it may not get done.
