Censorship isn't just a Middle East thing

Parents in my high school district are organizing in their outrage that their students are asked to read pornagraphic books like "Black Boy" and "Slaughterhouse Five."

Check out their website: www.classkc.org. This link is especially interesting.

If you're bored at work and feel like writing a defense of good literature and free speech, I would be thrilled to see your comments on their page -- if they have the guts to post them. Here's the comments page: http://www.classkc.org/contact.php. Obviously, you don't have to leave your real address.

Let me know if you write in.
