Why is this book still an issue? Sense-Wilson wants other high schools in Seattle to stop using it in their curriculum too. The Seattle School board is meeting this afternoon to discuss the use of the book Brave New World.

When a society bans Brave New World it has become Brave New World.

These morons who want to ban the book, and they can try to couch their language otherwise, but they want to ban the book, are too obtuse to understand the "Savage" in the book is the damn hero in the novel! What nitwits!

Precisely right. The new totalitarians seek to ban a book about the dangers of totalitarian control and the abolition of personal freedom. The irony here is off-scale! But they do not get it. Or maybe they do.

It's the same low-wattage brain power that goes:

“Look at the racism inherent in the system! They call Jim a nasty name in Huck Finn. Burn the book! Lock the school until every shred of the works of racist Mark Twain is burned. He changed his name (if THAT isn't suspicious)to avoid is discrimination charges, you know.”

They entirely missed the point that Jim is the purest, most sympathetic character in the whole story. Twain is on Jim's side.

They. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Exactly.
