Another babyish censorship episode

You'd think the moral panic crowd would get bored with raising childish stinks over stuff like this, but I guess not.

At Roxboro Middle School in northeastern Ohio, the November ish of Nintendo Power magazine has been yanked from the school library because the principal considered its cover to be "violent."

I know, man. A big fist might pop out of the magazine cover and punch someone, or something like that.

The librarian was outraged at the principal's act of censorship, because he didn't even bother to follow school district policy. But the school bored (in all its foolishness) sided with the principal.

Sometimes I think school boards have some sort of disorder that prevents them from experiencing happiness unless they're defending censorship.

Also, it's amazing that while Federalist Society whack-a-doos like Samuel Alito think school bullying is free speech, those who favor Alito's position also support some principal infringing on free speech by arbitrarily limiting an entire school's access to a Nintendo Power magazine that's perfectly legal.
