"They were asked what do you feel might be the result of viewing or reading this material, and their answer was, 'Children may come to the conclusion that looking at nudity is OK, and therefore pornography is OK,'" he said. "The parents asked us to review this book because their concern was parents should have the right to decide whether or not their children view this book."

These are the types of people that vote Republican because "you don't vote for a Democrat".

And there's LOTS of them here.

to buy a copy of Dirty Cowboy.

Adam Rex is an acquaintance of mine and a wonderful artist. This is crazy. New thing to be afraid of, folks -- skin! Soon maybe playing "shirts and skins" in PE class will be banned too (or maybe it already is).

For the past year, the Lehigh Valley teabagger group has been trying to get the Easton Area School District to ban Nickled and Dimed from the high school reading list. It is a great book about an educated upper middle class writer who tries to live as a waitress in various parts of the country, and describes how hard it is. The School Board keeps telling them to pound sand - particularly since they don't even have any kids in the school district.
