Book Banning

 This comes from this Guardian report:

From calls in Virginia to burn “sexually explicit” books in a school library to a wave of challenges to titles by authors ranging from Toni Morrison to Alison Bechdel, the American Library Association is charting an unprecedented rise in attempts to ban books in libraries – many of which it believes are fuelled by organised conservative campaigns

America is always banning books but now our national fear of ideas has reached a new peak. When will we stop being a fearful people?
