BURNING MAD: When Alton Verm of Conroe, Texas, saw the book his
15-year-
old daughter brought home from Caney Creek High School, he was
outraged. "It's just all kinds of filth," Verm said. It includes such
inflammatory words as "damn" and "hell", and Verm has filed a
"Request
for Reconsideration of Instructional Materials" with the Conroe
Independent School District. He happened to file it during the
American
Library Association's Banned Book Week. "I want to get the book taken
out of the class," he said. The book: Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451",
a 1953 novel about a dystopian society where books are banned and
burned, freedom of speech is restricted, and critical thought is
suppressed. But Verm wouldn't know: he admits he hasn't read the
book.
(Conroe Courier)
...So let me guess: Verm is a fireman.
PS: BURNING IRONY II: Harrisonburg (Va.) High School had a display of
banned
or "challenged" books to provoke thought about the American Library
Association's annual Banned Books Week. "Had" is the key word here:
Harrisonburg Schools Superintendent Donald Ford ordered the display
removed, since it might encourage students to read them. Books in the
display included Twain's "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", "The
Diary of Ann Frank" -- and the Bible. (Harrisonburg Daily
News-Record)
...And no wonder about the Bible: it includes such words as "damn"
and "hell".

Zamisli taj užas da nevini američki tinejdžer pročita neku psovku! Treba knjige spaljivati, jašta, a po mogućnosti i pisce koji pišu takve gadosti. :evil:
