"Black Hawk Down", Banned at Louisiana High School!

Kill the dirty little Thought Criminals!

The non-fiction, teacher assigned book about our soldiers' Heroism in the heart of darkness, by
Mark Bowden, was pulled from the classroom Oct. 3,
after a parent complained about the author’s use of curse words, officials said. Blaine Degruise, secondary school-instruction supervisor, said he agrees with the ban because the school code of conduct prohibits students from using profanity. "To read a book with such language is contradictory," he said.
The day was the 15th anniversary of the book’s events and the end of the 27th anniversary of Banned Book Week. Just before the class returned their books, students marched to the school’s flagpole and sang “The Star Spangled Banner” as a group.

Slow Book Sales?
~32 used & new, from $3.63
Here's an idea, why don't you do like this fellow'dick, and just buy back 1000s of copies of your own little piece of K'ville and land on the NYT Best Seller List, and then go on Opra... go somewhere --rather than misrepresenting yourself as a journalist from here, free of financial conflicts of interests. Objective Slob'jective!

Soldiers use profanity in the heat of battle? If that weren't disillusioning enough, now one of them is running for president. What is this country coming to?
