Bookshelves of Lesser Doom

A spot for my on-the-fly mini-posts:
Most everything else is at Bookshelves of Doom.
Jul 28 '11
Melissa Duvall, the only board member to have read all three books proposed to be banned, said the school board’s vote was more about policy and less a criticism of the books in question.

More on Republic High School’s banning of Slaughterhouse-Five and Twenty Boy Summer: Impressively*, only one of the school board members had actually read the book. Well, I should say: One of the FOUR SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WHO WAS ACTUALLY THERE FOR THE VOTE.

*Sarcasm.
