Huston Dad wants to Ban Book....

I especially liked this part:

He looked through the book and found the following things wrong with the book: discussion of being drunk, smoking cigarettes, violence, "dirty talk," references to the Bible and using God's name in vain. He said the book's material goes against their religions beliefs. The Verms go to Grand Parkway Church in Porter.


I suppose they won't be letting their children read the Bible or watch the evening news either!

That must mean that William Burrough's Naked Lunch is straight out. ;)

Well, in their defense, they really support their local firemen. ;)
 
Even more irony:

Alton Verm's request to ban "Fahrenheit 451" came during the 25th annual Banned Books Week. He and Hines said the request to ban "Fahrenheit 451," a book about book burning, during Banned Books Weeks is a coincidence.

I read Fahrenheit 451 as a pre-teen. I don't even remember any dirty language.
