Banned Books Week

September 26, 2008 ~ Cheryl

Neil Gaiman reminds us that it is Banned Books Week. I too was impressed to see Mark Twain listed as #3 in the list of most-challenged authors. However, before all of you lefties go laughing at the fundies, go check out the most-challenged books list. Huckleberry Finn does not get challenged because of bad language or any other of Huck’s high jinks, but because it is deemed racist.
