Kudos to the Evening Sun online (Greater Hanover/Gettysburg) for publishing this look at censorship.
I would doubt the Littlestown parents in question actually read the entirety of the book they were challenging; all of their claims sound suspiciously like hollow reactionary rhetoric - the kind you usually find hovering around anything sexual…or relevant, for that matter.
I particularly like the earnest, unpretentious opening paragraph:
Censorship is such a powerful tool, it’s almost hard to imagine anyone willing to wield it. Hard to imagine anyone believing they have that kind of moral authority.
A simple, most eloquent defense of intellectual freedom if I’ve ever heard one.
