The opposite or the same as Hitler??

I looked at the list of the top 100 banned books from schools....Okay, i don't know all of the books on the list, but I CANNOT believe some of them....some of these are classics for crying out loud! These are the one's i could not believe....


3.I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou (not an Angelou fan but how bad can this be?)
5.The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain (classic - and gives exapmles how balck and white people are basically the same!)
6.Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck (classic - difficult story but come on)

13.The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (classic)
14.The Giver by Lois Lowry (very interesting science fiction type book - but decent)
23 A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle (very good)
42To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (classic)
56 Cujo by Stephen King (Scary dog? haha)
57 James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl (they made a cartoon for goodness sakes)
63 Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume (didn't read it growing up but come on....)

71 Lord of the Flies by William Golding (One of the greats)

Now these i understand why they were banned, BAN THEM, BURN THEM......
2.Daddy’s Roommate by Michael Willhoite (eewww!)
11.Heather Has Two Mommies by Leslea Newman (double eewww!)
15.It’s Perfectly Normal by Robie Harris (i guess about being gay or bi)
29 The New Joy of Gay Sex by Charles Silverstein (what's new about it??)

19 Sex by Madonna (nothin' new here)

There is NO reson for these last books to be on the shelves in the schools---just because they print them doesn't mean we should drop all common sense and make them available to kids!!!

I'm not saying to actually burn them - sell them in a sleazy little shop where sleazy people go to buy sleazy trash like that. Keep them out of the schools!
