The fact is that it's been no secret that the people who try to ban books from schools are, more often than not, religious zealots.   Who else does this?  They see "immorality" and "depravity" in nearly everything that is worth doing, having, or reading. They're the same tribe that endeavors to have comprehensive sex education removed from school curriculum, as well.    Perhaps you haven't been paying attention lately.  I don't hate them.  I just wish they'd keep their idiotic mythology-based moral code in church where it belongs.
