Banned book week

Paul Pennyfeather isn't down with the ALA.

This is the week when we librarians show all you rubes out there that but for the grace of LIBRARIANS you would be living in a fascist hell hole. Unless you are a mover and shaker in the ALA, in which you already believe we live in a fascist hell hole, librarian resistance notwithstanding.

In a country where you have access to almost anything instantaneously, it is important to remind the unwashed that somewhere an elementary school is taking a book off the shelf that has references to oral sex and masterbation. Stupid, stupid people! Don't you realize that by denying your seven year old that book you are consigning him to a life of ignorance (or worse, prudence!). Don't come running to us when little Janie (or Johnny) turns to Cinemax to acquire that essential information.
