We can't have that
al.com: NewsFlash - Limestone County board bans book "Whale Talk" for curse words
1. This is a high school library.
2. The only complaint is about language, not "situations" or such.
Now, it seems to me that most people in high school already know lots of curse words. I know I did, though admittedly I read a lot.
Did an Amazon "Search Inside". F-word count: 8. And I get this great quote:
Interesting how you can say almost anything you want as long as you don't say shit or fuck or any word derivative thereof. I'm getting a handle on the communication thing.
Is that wonderful or what?

heh, I like this,
"We can't allow students go down our halls and say those words, and we shouldn't let them read it," Shannon said. "That book's got a lot of bad, bad words in it."
I guess we have to ban war books also, we don't need killing in the halls.
