The American Library Association says each book below has been pulled from some libraries or schools during the year:

The Adventures of Captain Underpants

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Ann Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl

The Catcher in the Rye

Garfield: His Nine Lives

The Handmaid’s Tale

Harry Potter (entire series)

Little Red Riding Hood

Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary

To Kill a Mockingbird

Well, of course some of those should be pulled from schools!!
Hell, do you want impressionable kids running around in their Y-fronts and a towel thinking they could fly? Capt. Underpants, indeed!!

and, as for The Handmaid's Tale.. shee-it boy, what the hell do Americans want with reading a book by a Canadian and a left-leaning femlib at that.. Margaret Atwood - pretentious twaddle [ even if we did go to school together ]

And we all know that Little Red Riding Hood is just a thinly veiled pornographic story of lust and sexual exploitation.

and we can't have kids looking up dirty words in the dictionary now can we?

Harry Potter - well we all know it promotes Witchcraft and heathen practices..makes Bible thumpers go apoplectic...

To Kill a Mockingbird.. racist...Huck Finn ...racist..Anne frank... a Jew... racist...

Catcher in the Rye...a manual for rebellious youth..no good..

A Garfield.. Hell, Cat's a just plain mean and ornery.. and the Devil's familiars... bad...

pulling these books seems pretty reasonable to me...

Why pull them off the shelves? Let's just have a good ole fashion book burning. Also, anyone want to burn a witch?

So much for freedom of choice I wonder what will be banned next!!

The Adventures of Captain Underpants

What your telling me there is a book called this???

Damn need to look that up.

Its just pain stupid banning damn books, whats next burning them.

The world has just gone to PC, for my liking.

My girls played with cowboy gun's, cars as well as dolls, they are stable, they read a wide range of books, they don't go around been terrorists.

mien kampf should probably be read by all to get an idea of where our country is going.

Wow, repearso.. it's a good thing that Dubya's term in office is almost over then isn't it?
I mean, he has very little time to grow a tiny moustache and prevent the next presidential elections.

best to get a good left-leaning liberal Democrat in office real quick like so he can ' undo' all the nasty nazi things Bush has done and put things back on course.

Helm! Steer Left 180 degrees!!

What bull shit, I read it years ago, I don't see any country going down that road.

Seriously, I might be the most liberal pinko on this board, but that's shit. The Bush administration might be an arrogant-ridden, incompetent-drenched cluster-funk, but they're nowhere near what a nationalistic fascist party is like.

Want a real-world example? Google "Iran". 1930's, deja vu?

Wouldn't get too spun up about it. Rppearso can't read, he's just throwing troll nuggets out there.
