In a Florida school district, officials have banned a kids' book, Ban This Book, because it talks about banned books. (archive.ph)

Why would people elect such imbeciles to a school board? How can these officials, and the imbeciles who voted for them, not be embarrassed and ashamed?

"The title itself and the theme challenges our authority. And it even goes so far as to not only to mention books that are deemed inappropriate by school boards, including ours, it not only mentions them but it lists them."

How do you write this, then go about your day believing you are a decent person?

What I think you are failing to understand is that this book doesn't just mention their school board... no. It lists them!!

You assume too much. They know they're shit, they're just uppity about it.

Based on that quote they need to spend less time banning books and more time reading them. Their grammar ain’t great
