How many schools and libraries celebrate Banned Books Week, with the implication being that it’s always a bunch of prudish, corn pone conservative Christians keeping kids from reading anything other than the Bible?

It’s actually the Left which is compelled to control.

I am surprised too. The people there are very conservative. I stay there for dog shows all the time.

For those of us out in the sticks without a complete awareness of everything that's going on politically in every nook and cranny of the country, it would be really really useful if we had a clue about what specifically is the contents of "HILLARY! UNCENSORED", who prepared it, and why the controversy in a "conservative" community.

Just saying...

I wonder if that school pushed the Al Gore film through.

I’d just write the URL on the blackboard, and the ones who want to watch it can copy it down.

Sorry - gotta defend the school on this one.

Schools are “supposed” to monitor and approve curriculum materials through a process. A teacher just bringing something is isn’t kosher.

The same applies to Loose Change or Mikey Moore movies.
