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.
