Did those wingnuts in CO actually burn those books?

I find it absolutely astounding that they asked the janitor if they could burn the books. It just shocks me that anyone would want to do such a thing.

"The parents approached the superintendent and asked that they be able to burn the books instead of the school janitor destroying them."

6. Will it stop?

I can see nuts burning down college libraries, bookstores, destroying Amazon.com and outlawing people from publishing a book without a license or a loyality oath.

5. I like this line

"When asked if the teacher who introduced the book to the students was in danger of being terminated, Conder said, “No, she was truly sorry for her lack of judgment.”


Which most likely means she wanted to have a job the next day.
