I remember encountering a comment from a parent who was offended by a book that had shown up on her kid’s reading list. “Better NO books,” she thundered, “then THAT book!” This is actually the way they think. Books are so radioactive you have to flense them all rather than permit one possibly objectionable one through. No, lady. NO BOOKS, your actual agenda, makes your kid a vacuous idiot. Better than NO Books? LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of BOOKS, OF ALL DIFFERENT KINDS, SOME OF WHICH WILL OFFEND YOU, BECAUSE THAT’S HOW BOOKS WORK, THEY OFFEND AND CHALLENGE AND HAMMER YOU, AND THAT’S THE GODDAMNED POINT. Here, the “Better NO Books!” contingent wins a battle.
