Support ideas, not ignorance.  "An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people." Book expose people to a variety of ideas, and this should be celebrated, not suppressed. When we start banning ideas, it's a dangerous path - where does it lead? Where does it stop? Thomas Jefferson knew, as many people know today, that democracy needs an informed citizenry to survive. Please stop this. Leave libraries and teachers alone to facilitate the free flow of ideas.
