I graduated high school in '72. I don't remember having to read 'Huckleberry Finn' in school - though I did so on my own - but we read 'Mockingbird' in, I think, our sophomore year. But as I say, there were always stories in the news about other places where someone was trying to get the local school board to take those particular books out of the classroom and/or the library. And to be fair, while many book bannings were prompted by socially or religiously conservative individuals and groups, in the case of Finn and Mockingbird it was then - as now, I suppose - mostly the people who objected to the use of the 'N' word in them. Both books are, of course, each in its own way a call to racial tolerance and social justice, but then no one ever accused the detractors and censors of actually reading them, so how would they know that?

Wearing a mask with your nose sticking out is like wearing a condom on your testicles.
When out walking, look out for PROBlems. You know: maskless Plague Rats On Bicycles who blow past you without giving you time to get out of the way.
Ah, CONServatives, the Masters of Projection (MOPs). With CONServatives, every accusation is a confession. Weird, that.

PORTLAND, OR—It’s been a busy day for progressive Stuart Garner. After spending most of the day fighting to have certain books banned and trying to stop unfettered free speech, he wound down by accusing those opposed to him of being Nazis.
“There’s just so much to do,” Garner said. “There are all these books no one should be allowed to read, and yet bookstores keep selling them. And then people say lots of dangerous, unregulated things, and it all needs to be taken offline. But of course, we have these Nazis against such things saying, ‘People should be able to buy whatever books they like and say what they think.’ Typical Nazi rhetoric.”
