Did you hear in Arkansas they have a bill to ban Howard Zinn's books?
A lawmaker in Arkansas have introduced a bill that would ban books written by the late historian Howard Zinn from the state’s public schools.
State Rep. Kim Hendren’s one-page bill would prohibit any public school district or charter school from its curriculum anything written by the controversial Boston University professor between 1959 and his death in 2010. (But as the Arkansas Times wryly notes, anything before 1959 is fair game.)
Zinn, who also worked as a shipyard worker and served in World War II, is best known for his 1980 book A People’s History of the United States, which reinterpreted American history through the lens of class struggle and exploitation. Responding to critics who said the best-seller was too heavy-handed in its revisionism, Zinn told the Times: “It’s not an unbiased account; so what? If you look at history from the perspective of the slaughtered and mutilated, it’s a different story.”

I guess the right wing fascists are getting more emboldened. I seem to remember in past history a certain fuhrer banned certain books. What is wrong with these people?
