…but they haven’t gone as fer as they can go.
A group of concerned parents in the Blue Valley School District want to ban certain books from the high schooler English curriculum. The petition objects to the "quality of the books", although as far as I can tell, literary "quality" is measured largely by the number of polite words (the less vulgarity, the higher the "quality" of the literature). Other objections are centered around books which contain racial conflict (because, apparently, we want adults-of-the-future to be unaware of disgraceful behavior) and books that don’t have a happy ending.
