Banning of books, any books is so wrong. There are books that are age appropriate yes. But to say no one can read it is not appropriate.

Freedom of speech is the top priority. Freedom to parent should uphold freedom of speech not endanger it! Freedom of speech protects freedom of religion. Once again - without freedom of speech you would loose the freedom of religion. So why would you "burn" it? Wake up, people!
