An Annual Report on Banned and Challenged Books in Texas, 2003-2004
Oh, this is depressing. It was the First Amendment and its possibilities that sealed the deal on me moving to the USA in 2000. It was the slow eroding of citizens' rights that saw me move back 2 1/2 years later. Read this and find out what Texan parents don't want their children to read.
Despair. That's what I felt.

I know, I remeber being shocked years ago to find out that school boards still banned books. *shiver*
Are you kidding me!?! Man, Texas needs to get out of the dark ages. Now I see where Dubya gets it. There are some excellent books on that list. Banning books does not protect children, if that is what they think they are doing... The USA seems to be a very hypocritical society these days...
Thanks for posting this. Unbelievable. Unbearable.
Doesn't surprise me. Not only for Texas to do this, but all of the South (and Middle America).
