Local Political Dumb Fornicatery

More dumb fuckery from the state that gave us Sarah Palin

Quote

"The Great Gatsby"-- "Catch 22"-- "Where the caged bird sings"-- "The things they carried"-- and-- "The invisible man."

Some would call them classics, but a school board in Alaska calls them controversial and this week voted to ban them.

The Mat-Su Borough School District Board voted 5 to 2 to ban the books from the curriculum-- saying words like "rape," and "incest"-- along with sexual references and language are a problem.

The board also voted to remove the New York Times as a teacher resource.

"They're talking about banning books again....really subversive books like the 'Wizard of Oz' and 'The Diary of Anne Frank.'"

I just had to comment on your title. Fornicatery is my new favorite word.
