“Ideas are only lethal if you suppress and don't discuss them. Ignorance is not bliss, it's stupid. Banning books shows you don't trust your kids to think and you don't trust yourself to be able to talk to them.”

This is so true. In our schools and libraries we have banned so many classics and great books that teach our children history and who we are. We are not a perfect nation, but we are the greatest. We learn from our mistakes, as to not repeat it. It is time for us as a nation to shuck the chains of political correctness and lies, and teach ourselves and our children the Truth. Even if it hurts for a little bit.
