I hope they're guarding Mount Rushmore because
being covered in red paint won't improve it's looks.

If so, it will be the FIRST accomplishment of DHS! Bush's great legacy": DHS & an unending war in the Middle East.

Two that are already gone are Mockingbird (good riddance, as it's a liberal icon) & Huck Finn.

I have two they won't ban. One by Che Guevara, one by Mao.
Both about revolution (If I remember correctly)

Here's a test for you: That is the theme of Huck Finn?

The journey down the Mississippi River is an analogy for a boy's journey into manhood. On the trip, Huck meets many possible role models, all of whom are deeply flaeed (the judge, the Duke and Dauphin, the feuding Sheperdsons and Graingerfords.) In the end, the only true man is the escaped slave, Jim.

The theme of Huck Finn is the evils of slavery and racism -- and that's why it's the Great American Novel.

Those books aren't gone.

Just checked. Jeff Bezos will sell either to you, no problem.

Some people seem to be losing their grip on reality.

[rayg]

Yes those also but I was talking about the history books with people that owned slaves in them..

Banned from school libraries, ignoramus; pay attention to the news & you'd have heard about it.
