Another idiot steals library book

One of America's greatest Presidents, John F. Kennedy, once said libraries "should be open to all - except the censor." The right to read should be sacred.

But some busybody in Oregon doesn't think so. A parent of a 13-year-old student at Central Linn High School has borrowed a popular book from the school library but refuses to return it, because she doesn't want people reading it.

The volume, 'The Book Of Bunny Suicides' by Andy Riley, is full of drawings of a rabbit's attempt to end his own life. The tome's dark humor has found a receptive audience among high school students and others. It was even recommended by the American Library Association.

The woman who stole the book has demanded that the school review it. But for that to happen, she has to return the book. Otherwise, the school will buy another copy and bill her for it.

But she still refuses to bring back the book. Instead she is threatening to burn it. And if the library replaces it, she says she'll have someone else borrow that copy and demolish it too.

Censorship. The refuge of the modern scoundrel.
