Quick Update

It has recently come to my attention that a subject we discussed on The Skeptic Wire is in desperate need of an update

First: Republic Missouri School District has reversed its decision to ban the book Slaughter House Number Five by Kurt Vonnegut. I really wouldn't call it a reversal per se, because while the book is in the school library, its essentially been relegated to the restricted section and requires the parent to come and check it out.

Read about it here.

And another addendum to this issue. The American Library Association has a new campaign and they need your help to make it a success.

They are sponsoring a new channel on Youtube and encouraging viewers to post videos of themselves reading from a banned book
