"I say these books belong not to the state, but to the people! The library exists to serve us, the people. Yet capitalism seeks to take that away from us. They say the books belong to them. Look how far we have sunk! They are now sending uniformed police officers after our children. This kind of activity should not, must not, and will not be tolerated. The time to act is now. READERS OF THE WORLD UNITE!"

And I think it;s worth giving up that little bit of freedom to know that we won't raise an entire generation of 8 year old miscreants.
don't laugh. these books are usually living peacefully on a shelf, minding their own business, when they are snatched away, often simply for the views they espouse between their covers.
do the books have the right of habeus corpus, ordoes their only hope of being returned lie with a tribunal of librarians appointed by the school board?
