The writer of the letter “Protect children from adult material” (Dec. 11, TribLive) makes vague claims that “adult material” is somehow being made available in public school. Yet he conveniently fails to list even a single title of the supposedly offending material. Instead, he chooses to hide his ineptly constructed and devoid of substance argument with biblical imagery.
Historically though, titles like “To Kill A Mockingbird” and “The Diary of Anne Frank” are common targets for those who wish to ban books. There was even a group in the 1930s who relished burning books that they didn’t like, before they started doing the same to people who they didn’t like. We had to fight them in places like Normandy Beach. Today, we are fighting their ideological descendants in our very schools.
