The Book-Banners are getting more organized now. Instead of single crazies we now have groups of crazies such as Parents Against Bad Books in Schools. So what makes a book bad? In PABBIS' view it's all relative, "Bad is not for us to determine. Bad is what you determine is bad. Bad is what you think is bad for your child. What each parent considers bad varies and depends on their unique situation, family and values. The main purpose of this webpage is to identify some books that might be considered bad and why someone might consider them bad." Umm...
Their bad books include ones by Judy Blume, Chinua Achebe, James Michener, Pat Conroy, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, J.D. Salinger, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Truman Capote, Leon Uris, Richard Wright, Cormac McCarthy.
Relativism is bullshit people - go read a book why don't ya! And P.S. Judy Blume taught me about my period so you guys can can it!
