The [[List of banned books]] is a mess, and the way people have added challenged books to the list (ALA_2000 entries) and the clogging up with many doubtful entries (just listed without explanations etc) has made it the target of creationists who try to get a book listed that a book that they claim is banned, but which in fact is far from that (if their rational holds, the bible is banned book).
Could some people deal with this list?
I was just chatting with someone about this page the other day. Part of the problem is that the ALA puts out a very melodramatic list each year for "Banned Books Week". Upon close inspection, the books are very seldom "banned" books. They have sometimes been removed from school reading lists for stupid reasons, but still perfectly well available in the school library, etc.
