OT follow-up (was) RE: [at-l]NOT OT: Banned Books Week

[nealb at midlandstech.edu (William Neal)]

Shakespeare's 12th Night was challenged/banned many times since its writing
since it promotes homosexuality -- a young girl dresses as a boy and has the
hots for a boy.  ??????????  And a very Christian lady wanted to ban The
Bible in the Children's Room -- at least an unabridged version.  It had too
many indelicate scenes in it and too much violence. I had a college prof who
had a Master's in Philosophy, Library Science, and something else who tried
to get Judy Blume banned as teenage pornography -- porn for teens. I wonder
what they would say about UP SHIT CREEK: A Collection of Horrifyingly True
Wildernesss Toilet Misadventures by Joe Lindsay. Come to think of it, I
wonder what they would say about this list.

Blank? You mean the book contains _bare_ _naked_ pages?

No way!  BAN IT!
