Banning books? How shocking that anyone would even dream that such a thing would happen in the Western World! Why if any newbie tin horn governor of a small population state would be harassing Librarians about banning books, why that would just be so wrong, wouldn't you think? ;-) I recall my mother ringing me up a while back about some heathen atheist written children's story that the Catholic League sent out a email hategram that called it "a book fit for burning!" That book? The Golden Compass. About a fantasy world of fantasy talking animals with a evil fantasy god that the fantasy good characters eventually destroy. Oh. That book! I sent my mother back a picture of it already on my son's shelf. fyi, I also read it before he did and didn't find anything unusual about it. Other than that it was considered good enough to be made into a movie. My goodness! Banning books? How shocking that anyone would even dream that such a thing would happen in the Western World!
