When books are run out of school classrooms and libraries, I'm never much disturbed. Not as a citizen, not as a writer, not even as a schoolteacher, which I used to be. What I tell kids is, don't get mad, get even. Don;t spend time waving signs or carrying petitions around the neighborhood. Instead run, don't walk, to the nearest non-school library or local bookstore and get whatever it was that they banned. Read whatever it was they're trying to keep out of your eyes and your brain because that's exactly what you need to know. --- Stephen King.
