I'm not really sure being banned by one insignificant library really counts. Tom Send a noteboard - 06/12/2011 05:00:45 PM
I mean, they weren't marching around a bonfire and casting the book into it at the same time as the Volksgericht was trying people and sentencing them to death for possessing a copy...

When I think of books being banned, I think of legally binding acts. Stupid school district decisions do not affect the ability of children to get books if their parents disagree with the district's decision. Yes, some kids with stupid parents will lose out until they start living on their own, but it's not like the book is unavailable.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
