Skip's comments from the Banned Books group.

Does anyone have any idea what books Palin wanted banned? (Not that it really matters, but could offer insight into her agenda.)

Where do you live?
It sounds like so many places.....

What Steinbeck book has hit the Banned Book list?

In cases of censorship and free speech, I generally err on the side of allowing the speech to occur, and Bong Hits for Jesus is no exception. Sure, the speech may have been in poor taste and kind of silly, (It was,) but to prohibit it is not in the interest of the spirit of the First Amendment.
I understand the arguments posed by the power of advertising on young kids, however, and unfurled hand-written banner on a public street off campus is hardly a glossy ad in school hallway.

But I think this week has shown everyone just how scary this new Supreme Court will prove. To whittle away Brown v. Board of Education (a sacrosanct ruling if there ever was one,) should be a wake-up call to everyone.
