    I was just about to say that if they put in a "sexually exlicit" section you'll know where to find the teenage boys. This book banning stuff does get out of hand. A couple of years ago we had a big flap in one of the school districts here over "Huck Finn"

    Here's an interesting list:

    I notice that "Native Son" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" are also there, probably for the same reasons as "Huck Finn." My mother got a phone call from the school when my brother and I were caught reading "The Catcher in the Rye." Her response was "I know, I gave it to them."
