" Remember when The New York Times' David Carr made an offhand comment
about Missouri and Kansas being home to "the dance of the low, sloping
foreheads," and everyone got mad at East Coast elitism? It's infuriating
to feel like people are judging you based on your zip code rather than
your merits, especially when those people are the ones you view as your
cultural allies.

That said, this story is a perfect example of why people elsewhere look
down on us. Because it's hard to remember the last time a NYC school
banned a book because someone complained it taught "principles contrary
to the Bible."


In Republic, Missouri, the Republic High School board has unanimously
voted to ban Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five and Sarah Ockler's
Twenty Boy Summer. The books were named in a public complaint filed last
year, along with the Laurie Halse Anderson novel Speak, which managed to
stay on school shelves."

Christianity will result in the downfall of America.

You stupid spoofer, while I hate Christianity and detest anyone who is a
Christian, I'm intelligent enough to know that Christianity was a huge
part of our founding father's beliefs, and played a big part in forming
our government.
