Here we go again

Sort of old news, but worth rehashing for the sake of completeness:

• Broadminded school council members are still trying to ban books.
  

As we all know, books that dare to discuss sex will send their readers straight to hell for all eternity. The current crop of "pornographic" offenders:

The titles on [board member Laura] Pinney's list are "Beloved" by Toni Morrison, "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut, "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin, "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner, "The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World" by Michael Pollan, "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, "Fallen Angels" by Walter Dean Myers and "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" by Julia Alvarez.

Thankfully, since this story broke, Pinney has gone away, having been exposed as the moron she is. The fact that she hadn't actually read the books probably didn't help her cause much, which is about as bad as Bob Doyle trying to ban Natural Born Killers without having seen it.

Sigh...
